Blog post , November 7, 2002 : email to Providence Journal columnist Bob Kerr : " Post election blues ?

Thursday, November 7, 2002 Post election blues ? Bob, I just read your column. I am not ashamed to confess that I just could not get myself to vote for ANYBODY in this election. The negativity was horrendous. Every candidate's opponent was a moral monster -or a dangerous weirdo. I KNEW Myth York would lose with that shameless TV ad making a fiend out of the affable Don Carcieri. No wonder politics in America no longer attracts the best and the brightest. What type of people want the public to fall in love with them on the basis of short introduction and vapid and asinine TV and radio sound bites ? I personally feel more affinity for the 1950s beatniks - BEAT - than left wing politicos or phony 60s flower children. But I abhor the FAR RIGHT. But the Left in general should rethink the gospel of political correctness. I feel sorry for those loser political hacks who invest their heart and soul -and future - on a the sham democracy of the political circus. I might have voted for the Cool Moose character - he had the right idea.
