I will say about the election that I used to be a strong
Democrat. When living on the West Bank and a student, I was a member of the
PAC and participated in several DFL campaign activities.
But then like most of the student crowd, I was looking to move
on, I wanted to buy a house and ended up buying a four plex on a GI loan and
then two duplexes in need of repair and for low down payment.
With that I became persona non gratta on the West Bank. I was
like 'investigated' and found to own property and I then became subject of
phony but worrisome law suits which I won easily though at some expense and
loss of 20 pounds.
With all of that, I was totally poisoned on the 'DFL' and haven't
voted for any Democrat candidate since.
Further, when I found out that Wellstones were involved as
organizers of the Crookston power line sabatage some 25 years ago -though I
had met and talked to Mondale long back, and thought well of the Mondales,
no way would I vote Democrat.
