Much debate has been going on about the MasFoxPro petition. I even blogged here about not posting again (I did so on the UT) my reasons for not signing.

But, it was this post by Doug that actually got me to change my mind. This paragraph is what got me thinking about it, "However, Mike Asherman's comment made me think about this some more. He said, "Adding your name means that you support the cause, not that you believe it is likely to succeed." Good point. I've voted for people I've believed in before knowing they didn't have a chance in winning because it was the right thing to do."

I've been in the same situation as Doug. I've been in it often. I live in what is considered the most conservative state in the country. Democrats generally don't have a chance. Those that do get in office are from one of two very small geographic areas of the state that is less conservative. I've often voted for Democrats knowing they don't stand a chance.

I don't think the MasFoxPro petition has a chance. But, using the same reasoning, as why I sometimes for Democrats, I signed the petition. Because I generally believe in what it's trying to do.
