Republican win?

.
.
I would like to think so, the polls say it will be so mostly, and there is a lot of buzz about the deal. Of course, there are folks suggesting we not count the chickens first and that the deal is not done. I wonder if the push topped too soon. I wonder if attention deficit Americans can really stay on track. I honestly do not have any certainty that either the House or the Senate will be lost. I hope, but uhrm, look where that got many voters last time, along with the rest of us.

As I have written before, even a Republican clean sweep would change little. There are too many big government small people politicians in that party. Of course, I also see that a trend in that direction would be good. And yet I cannot fail to notice there have been three major political changes if a Republican route takes place in the last decade or two. So trends can, do, and will change. I only know that I will be voting this election. To those ends, it is time I start looking at every single man on the ballot. The more difficult information to find concerns judges, which are becoming as if not more vital to change than politicians at this point.

No, I am not certain of anything in politics. Sentiments will not elect good candidates. Yes, grumbling. Yes, doubtful. Yes, I distrust political change is actually occurring or that it will last. Grumble, mumble, and whine. It's a grumpy day, sue me. Well, on to some research.

Update:

More grumbling, of course. Finding information regarding candidates is proving difficult. I have found information regarding those in office, federal offices anyway. My current senator, a stock Republican, was a teacher first. His voting record seems moderate. I wanted to look over the Libertarian running against him. Something about the education system connections and 9 years in office give me pause with the current candidate.

You know, for as long as I have been checking on politicians, you would think I would have the tools to pull up the goods right at the tip of my fingers. A couple of moves, three computer wipes, and a little time off the hunt and peck scene have found me scrambling like a rookie. The most I have been able to track down, even with a name, state, county, party search was... one paragraph in the Libertarian's filing regarding why he should be elected. Oh, I am pretty sure he cannot win. But in this case, I would like to know if a throw away vote would send the right message. I want to pull, push, and tickle the apparatus more conservative and would happily use my vote to do so. But, if he is pro-abortion, or open to the legalization of narcotics, I cannot conscionably do so. That is just that.

As for finding local and county candidate information, I am scrubs for nothing. There is no information, that I can find, at the Utah Republican site, the web generally, or in any areas I have looked. I will next try to find a county site and see if they have anything regarding candidates and judges. I am amazed at how little information is available. I am NOT going to, or able to, visit each candidate or their information centers (if they even exist). I am not sure how to get voting records and biographies. Frustrating, really, for a newbie in a new land, and with so many lost links to a long collected selection of information tools.

I am noticing that the search engines seem to be steering me away from information as well. No surprise, to my mind they always tried to hide decency in the form of Christianity, conservative values and politics while only hiding the truth of liberal intent, ends, and means shown by communists and other socialists. You can find whatever porn you want, I would guess, with a single small set of words. You cannot find information regarding a Libertarian or other conservative candidate. God did say the way was narrow and the many would become the few, but do punk tech kids need to add to it by rerouting internet searches? At least I know what path they are on. And, no, I do not use Google. But they are all the same, I do believe, and in the end. Punks. Brownshirt wannabes.
