That reminds me. Rhode Island had the word "incumbent" removed from the ballots in the last election to make it more difficult for people to do just that.

Now if only they and other states could remove the political parties from the ballots we might get to the point where the voters are forced to actually learn about the candidates instead of just voting for a letter.

For far too long, my election experiences have been more along the line of voting against someone instead of voting for someone.

It really does not make me feel good when I am in the polling booth and I have to choose which of the candidates is the least dangerous scumbag.

I sure would like to vote in favour of a candidate one of these days.

That is because it is the way of the world, the only people who do otherwise are either too young to have learned otherwise from experience or older but just too dumb to learn.
