Nope, SherpaHigh, you have it wrong. If you did the research, and you like your PC candidate and/or you think that the PCs are the best government, and then you voted that way, bravo. I will certaintly disgree with you on that , but not on making a dicision based on the proper foundation.
You may have misunderstood my position in the first place. All I am really hoping for is that somewhere in this democratic process, the concept of "wasted votes" and "winners and losers" needs to be thrown away. As voters we should try to challenge ourselves, our candidates, and the system by thinking outside the box. Even if the PCs have done a good job, does that mean they are necessarily the best choice. No, absolutely not.
So, I applaud you for voting, and even for questioning me, and for having the nads to say something to me when you thought you were being referred to in a way you don't like. But politics is not about agreement, never was, it is aout debate, and I hope that this debate, unlike the mean-sprirted crap that goes on in the Legistlature, can remain civil and respectful, which is all I ever tried to say.
I apolpgize if I came across otherwise, but I feel quite strongly about politics, and I speak up about it when anyone will listen.
Peace.
