A bunch of bums guiding each other along the road of life.

I can live with a new thread. In fact, why don't we use Matt's?

Here in Illinois, we had a choice between two potential governors. Option A, the Democrat, is currently being investigated by the federal government for corruption charges. Option B, the Republican, is not a "values" Republican, meaning she claims to adhere to the fiscal plans of the Republican party (an assertion that is doubtful at best) while rejecting conservative social values (e.g. the sanctity of human life, etc...). Oh, and lest I forget, Option B is also a close former associate of Illinois' former governor who is currently a convicted crimial for his activities in office. So, to put it bluntly, a choice between suck and suck.

I haven't done this in awhile, but yesterday, I looked deep within myself and cast a vote for the Green party. I just couldn't get behind either one of these criminals. And I'm starting to get ticked about it. Why is it that my state can't seem to put up a descent candidate in either party?

You ever cast a quote-unquote protest vote?
