Mike Showalter br> Austin, Texas /p> p> DIVIDE AND CONQUER br> Re: Patrick Hynes's Keeping the Faith : /p> p>Patrick Hynes does a good job of analyzing the 2006 vote, but I believe he, and many others, ignore an important trend in voting: many of us are intentionally voting for gridlock. I never voted for a Democrat in my life, until November 2006. I did so then because I don't agree with the Republican vision of "big government conservatism." I'm now convinced that I can't trust either party to do the right thing for the nation. My only alternative is to keep them at each other's throats so they pass as little legislation as possible. From now on, I want one part to hold the Presidency and the other to hold Congress. br> -- Roger D. McKinney br> Broken Arrow, Oklahoma /p> p>
