If you're a Democrat, reregister now as a Republican so you vote for Nikki Haley. Here's why.

Here's a thought for the day

If you're a Democrat, reregister now as a Republican so you vote for Nikki Haley. 

Why? So you help defeat Donald Trump from becoming the Republican nominee and leading the country to total destruction by another term.. Then vote Democrat in the General election and help put the Republicans out the national door.

My thoughts:

Back in the 60's, as a young person I registered to vote as an Independent basically because I didn't cater much to politics. Didn't understand it and didn't care. Then, in the 70's, after starting a career where politics mattered, Bob Martinez led me to become a Republican and that's where I was until January 6. 2021. After that sorrowful day, I reregistered as a person with No Party Affiliation. I wanted nothing to to do with what the Republican Party had become. As a military Veteran, I was disgusted that my country and all it has stood so proudly for and in which I strongly believed could be so disrespected - and endangered - by a major political faction of the American voting public that had been so completely duped by a feckless rich con-man.

Fast forward to February, 2024. I am still disgusted. Nevertheless, today I am considering reregistering as a Republican and here's why. If Donald Trump is elected President again, anyone who has any sense of how deeply flawed the man is and the real and tangible danger he has singlehandedly brought to OUR AMERICA DEMOCRACY, should do all in their power to stop him.

One thing I can do at 81 years old is change my party affiliation back to Republican so I can help Nikki Haley beat him in the Primary. After that I'll return to NPA status and in the General and vote down the line for Democrats because none of them can be as dangerous to MY COUNTRY as a rabid Trump-serving Republican.

Semper Fi

DeSantis' defeat on the national stage not something to mock. He's a dangerous man.

 Very interesting article in this morning's Tampa Bay Times. It's worth your time and thoughts. Hope you can access it here:

"Election objectors' top corporate PAC & industry group funders in 2023"

"Election objectors' top corporate PAC & industry group funders in 2023"

Who's funding the campaigns of the congressional election deniers who voted against certification of the presidential election of Joe Biden? You'll be surprised.

After the January 6 Insurrection, as you know, there was an attempt by certain GOP congressional leaders to deny the voters of America their legal election of Joe Biden. They did this by voting against certifying the 2020 election results as required by the United States Constitution.  It is instructive to know who these election denying jerks did this despite the failure of the insurrection, but it's even more instructive to know who continue to financially support these jerks and the likely resultant destruction of our American Democracy as we know it.

Look, if someone came to your house and tried to steal something of great value to you and was caught doing it, and then someone else provided them money to bail them out and fight their prosecution, wouldn't you come to the conclusion that those people are sympathetic and supportive of the attempted theft?

Well, there are a number of very large corporations and others who continued to send millions of dollars to the election deniers who tried to steal your legitimately elected president and you need to know who they are. Fortunately for us, someone has researched who they are and published an article revealing them.

Here's a list of who and how much they continued supporting these election-denying criminals provided in an article by OpenSecrets "based on SEC filings through QW3 2023 as of Jan. 6 2024." (Read the full article HERE)

Look, we need to know who these organizations are. They are either co-conspirators with the idiots that voted against the legal and proper Constitutional Certification of Joe Biden and knowingly jeopardized our American Democracy or incredibly insensitive to the intentional destruction of the American institutional mechanisms that allowed them to flourish in the first place.
