Nio ask about my political stand and why I voted the way I did in the Idaho primaries.
This is how I voted yesterday my vote
I live in ultra conservative state. Confession time...Here in Idaho I would be considered a Communist
In Idaho for the primaries you vote stright party ticket and majority will run on the republican ticket
Only one candidate I got right is Butch Otter. I didn’t want Dan Anyhow Butch Otter got 70% of the votes. The other candidate for governor on republican ticket was Jack Alan Johnson which I couldn’t find a lick of info on. Then their was Walt which I real couldn’t find how he stood on the issues. That he went on a hunger strike.
Their was only two people who ran on the democrat ticket Jerry and Lee In the general election the odds will be that I’ll vote for Jerry Confession time... I haven’t read were he stands on the issues. I didn’t want Dan or Walt in
Now for US Representative 1st dist in Idaho. This man I did not want in at all Bill he got 25% of the votes. Then it was three way tie between
Keith Sheila Sorrenson which I can’t get a link to. And the other person who was running on the republican ticket was Robert their was two other candidate who ran on the republican ticket and each got less then 15% of votes.
Statement...I’ll be voting for< Larry instead of Bill I’m thinking about Volunteer to get Larry elected to congress. Their was one other democrat running Cecil
Then their was the school superintendent race. The superintendent of public instruction on republican ticket came close between these two Tom and Steve I didn’t want Steve in their. I don’t know anything about the democrat candidate Jana
When I vote in Idaho I try to pick the most liberal republican candidates in the primaries which is hard to do. I don’t think Idaho carried a democrat since Franklin for president.
So I did google search on Idaho politics. The three local paper here is Bonners Ferry herald a weekly paper, Bonner county daily bee which comes out daily and the Cda Press also a daily paper. These paper is own by the same person.
A lot of people takes for spokesman around here.
Where I stand on some of issues...I call my self quality life, not pro choice or pro life, I’m for equal medical coverage for all, against capital punishment, pot should be legal, basic human rights and for a livable wage Their other issues I think needs to be address as well
Another friend was explaining Idaho to me.
ReplyDeleteI'd hate to have to decide for the least objectionable Republican.
Granny, Thats a good way of putting Idaho poltics "Objectionable Republicans"
ReplyDeleteWhen I looked at the candidates you vote for, my skin crawled (and almost off my body!) which is why I asked. These candidates are horrible! If I were you, I would write someone in *every time* you vote.
ReplyDeleteI disagree on one point, though. I do not think pot should be legal. I fear the pharmacueticals, government, or big tabacco would get their grubby hands on it and contaminate it, make it addictive/impossible to grow and have, and a whole host of other bad bad things. So, instead of legalization, I'm for decriminalization.
