Hunter can't win. He barely registers in the polls, has little name recognition, no money and no charisma. I understood that about Hunter before I read anything the media said about him. BTW, The media has little bearing on my vote.

Therefore, I would not be voting for my values should I choose to vote for him. I'd be voting for a man sharing my values who can't win.

"Maybe your predominant value is winning?

My prediminant value is having my values promoted by the people in office. Winning is very important in that regard.

In this particular Presidential race, voting for a Liberal who has a chance to win is as bad as voting for a conservative who has NO chance to win. Neither vote does a thing to advance the conservative values I espouse.

[Just sayin]

Hunter can't win.

That exact same thing was said over and over and over again in 2004 about George W Bush.

Therefore, I would not be voting for my values should I choose to vote for him. I'd be voting for a man sharing my values who can't win.

Voting for a person who has the same values as you is not voting your values? Sorry T, but this part of your post doesn't make any sense.

My prediminant value is having my values promoted by the people in office.

How exactly do you suppose folks, who would promote your values, will gain office when you don't vote for them because they 'can't win'?

Do me a favor ok? When the debates start, come back and tell me how Hunter 'can't win', 'barely registers in the polls', and 'has no money or name recognition'.

If you choose not to vote your own values, you waste your vote as much as someone who doesn't vote at all. I am backing Hunter win or lose, that is what people do who actually care about having their values represented. You go ahead and 'settle' so you can 'win'. It's your choice.
