The Tao Of Paul

Keane files a lawsuit to disqualify Clark. Good Start? Most people start shaking their head the minute you mention the Independence Party in the first place.

Then we move on to this one, which is sort of “No one in the city likes Republicans/the voters are cattle/wait no it’s a plot to get a Republican in as CE” story.
According to this, the GOP presence in the city is nil. Shut down their office, don’t even have their annual fundraiser.

Ryan says virtually no member of the GOP cares about enduring election rigors when history shows the party has no chance.

Quitters? But wait!

Some Democrats say the retreat by Republicans, who hold less of a disadvantage countywide, is part of a strategy to suppress voter turnout in heavily Democratic Buffalo when a viable Republican — Christopher C. Collins — is running for county executive. They say fewer Buffalo Democrats will show up at the polls without local races, helping the Collins effort.

In other words, both parties consider us cattle. Doesn’t matter who they put out there, the only thing the voters look at is the letter in parantheses after the name. That’s the plan. Lull the Dem voters into a false sense of security, they won’t turn out, and we can sneak in Collins as CE. But first we have to convince our loyal voters to turn out even though we aren’t really running anyone in the city.
WTF?
Do you mean to tell me that NO ONE votes on the merits of a candidate, or even the lack thereof in the opponent? Do people automatically fall into lockstep with the endorsement made by the leaders of their union or professional organization?
If so, we are getting what we deserve.
