Plan A is to vote "Present".
I love quoting myself (feeling smug):

Their ‘plan’ for Iran amounts to figuring out what to do AFTER Iran builds a nuke.
Elections have consequences. Half of this nation is suicidal.
“Half of this nation is suicidal.”
No kidding. Sometimes I think it’s more. It’s one of the hardest things for me to understand, how anyone can be so naive and unwilling to survive. I just don’t get it.
Paper Tiger. Kim Jong il knows it.
Plan A is to facilitate the dominance of Islam all over the world.
I don't think Obama cares about what he can do to facilitate the dominance of Islam. I think he does care about what Islam can do to facilitate the dominance of Obama.
