After being registered as a Republican for 30 years, I'm finally going to come out of the closet........and register Democrat.
Not because I woke up this morning on the Left side of the bed, or had someone substitute a latte for my normally black coffee, but because I'm tired of having my vote mean nothing in Oregon.
My track record for voting in Oregon is 0-22....maybe worse. It is quite clear to me that only under the rarest of circumstances will anyone with a "R" be elected in this state to higher office.
So, with that in mind, I have decided to register as a Democrat.......and then vote against every anti-gun, anti-business, anti-family Democrat that I can find in the primary elections.
I will instead vote for any Democrat (i.e. Betsy Johnson) that is willing to support my rights, or failing that, any candidate that is not an incumbent.
Once the general election arrives, party affiliation means nothing, and I will be once again free to vote for whomever I choose.
Go big "D"!
