[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think voting or not voting for somebody simply because of their political party is  not the way we should approach elections.   Vote for the best candidate to represent our state, county or country, regardless of political affiliation. In this case I think Governor Hogan has done a fantastic job and I will gladly be voting for him.   If you think ben jealous  is the right man for the job then   By all means vote for him. But don’t vote for him just because he has a D after his name  because that is just as bad as people voting for Donald Trump simply because he had a R after his name.[/quote]

I don't think Hogan has done a fantastic job.  Our schools have suffered under him, his policies favor the rural coastal parts of Maryland, he has not spoken out against Trump's bigotry and misogyny and despite being a Republican, he meddles in aspects that should be under local control, like school calendars.[/quote]

And that’s fine,  we have different opinions and points of view on his job performance.  Cast your vote for the other guy. . My point is is that simply voting for somebody based on their political affiliation is not smart.   I’ve seen several posts say that they like Governor Hogan but they  are voting for jealous only because he’s a Democrat. Those are the people that I was referring to .[/quote]

So here's my twisted logic - I'm voting for Jealous because I don't think he has any chance of winning. I generally am fine with Hogan (other than the school calendar thing) and would rather he be governor than Jealous. But given that he is going to win anyways, I'll cast my vote symbolically for the Democrat, because the Republican party disgusts me and I really would rather not vote for anyone who affiliates with them.[/quote]

Be careful with this..[/quote]

Why? Jealous is not going to win. And even if he does, it is not the end of the world. Jealous appears to be a sane, rational, non-racist, non-corrupt, non-morally bankrupt individual. That meets my minimally acceptable standard for the holder of the Executive office.[/quote]
