Soul for sale!

Posted by Libby Liming at August 30, 2004 01:25 PM

My political soul is for sale. I don’t want money for it; I just want someone to convince me that choosing to be one party or the other is a good thing. I have been researching the candidates and voting histories of both Republicans and Democrats, and I think maybe I’m half and half. Is that possible? In order to be a “good American”, do I have to pick one or the other? Well? Does Libby have to pick? What should she do?
