A single vote is too important in THIS election to fritter away. As with a gun... it's the bullet that does the work. Don't fire yer last shot in the air when faced with a dangerous enemy. Obama is a DANGER to these United States in dangerous times. All this other stuff with no-way-in-hell candidates sounds 'noble'... but fruitless.
You've accomplished nothing. Those who voted for Perot over Bush Sr.put Clinton in the White House and gave rise to Hillary. (Cause and effect) Obama is a Marxist... and this nation can little afford a mistake on that level.
And if McCain gets elected, those of you who voted for him will be responsible for the further simultaneous empowerment and perversion of the republican party. To be so worried about what a democrat can do in the next 4 short years and have no concern for the long term future of this country politically is short sighted and foolish.
I am not throwing away my vote, I am casting it against McCain. Yes, people like me just may put Obama in office, but I am making a tactical decision to both do what is morally right and to help steer this country in the right direction. This election needs to be the end of the modern Republican party. They need to be trampled and beaten. They need to learn that those of us who really care about this country are not interested in their "conservative" big government any more than we are interested in Obama's "liberal" big government. We are interested in the Constution. That is the message the Republican party needs to get, and if it means loosing the presidency this time, so be it.
Do you honestly think McCain will be that much better than Obama anyway? On gun rights, yes McCain doesn't have the distain for gunowners that Obama has, but he does share the same philosophy. McCain said the solution to high crime areas was more police statism and near martial law. So while McCain doesn't hate your guns on a personal level, I have no doubts that he would take them in what he believes is an emergency.
But even more important is the fact that neither candidate will address the issue of inflation and over spending. Not only that, they both talk about spending more, Obama want's to bankrupt us on socialist programs, and McCain want's to bankrupt us building a world empire. All the while the dollars that they're spending are becoming worth less and less. The next four years are going to suck and I see nothing that tells me that McCain could make it suck less.
Of course at least we can still talk about the issues, kind of dangerous this close to the election. We all know what McCain thinks about free speech during elections.
