I think it's very telling regarding the dems.
Wendy davis was running for governor of TX, she actually admitted that she only supported open carry reforms in order to get votes but that she is actually opposed to it.
We keep having dems all over do this. They just flat out lie about what they really want to do. It's frequent & obvious with guns but they do it with other stuff as well.
The one thing the gop has going for them is that they aren't as bad as the damned democrats. That's only become more apparent over recent years.
I used to actually consider the dems as someone I could vote for, in fact have voted for a few. Not for president, they haven't had a single candidate win their primary that I could under any conditions vote for for that.
But they've simply proven themselves to be worse in every possible way, year after year, election after election, to the point where I just don't see me voting for one of them ever again for any damned thing.
And that's on them, *they* squandered the trust they need from me.
So what's that leave me?
I can vote for someone who, regardless of office being run for, will never get more than a single digit percent of the vote, as a "protest". Which is simply a waste, no one that I'm protesting too will pay any attention to that vote.
Or, I can vote for the opposing gop person.
Or, I can not vote for anyone for that office at all.
Those are pretty much all the options I have.
But it's a pretty safe bet that I'll never again vote for a democrat, period.
