Voted for biggest loser

"Primary voters reveal party" ... really? I just voted (absentee) and I don't recall revealing that; I revealed only which ballot I chose to complete.

If a party wishes to waste their money sending me information, they are welcome.

For the first time in my 40-plus years as a conscientious registered voter, I voted cynically. Hey, after months of unremitting negativity, distortions and flat-out lies from the laundry-list of clowns, I had to vote for the biggest loser ... because the Republicans deserve him. I was happy for the opportunity to vote for Newt. Other voters who respect our president might consider similarly.

Cut Congress' pay

It's time to act like these people in Washington work for us; based on their job performance, there should be something on November's ballot to cut both Houses of Congress' pay by 50 percent to 75 percent for those who have been there 10 years or more.
