The only people I blame are the people that won’t cast a vote because they don’t get their way. And writing in a name is the same as not voting if the write-in name is a person who did not ask for a write-in. If the want to waste their right to vote I have no respect for them.

We heard this in 2008 too from the “moderates”. Vote for McCain you worthless ingrates so that after our “reach across the aisle” maverick wins we can throw you conservatives back in the closet where you belong. How about you do things our way for a change? It seemed to work out well in 1980.

Jukeman...don't be too hard on those willing to write-in a name just yet...I too thought that because I was so discouraged by the slate of candidates. Not becuae they don't each have their own strengths..but because none of them were strong enough to take on the Obma 'machine'...which includes the media as well as others who will take pot shots even of our own party.

In the debates Newt, who I thought was done, stepped right out and lead the tempo which the debates should have had in the first place...he took it out of the media's hands and called them on it, and that was not without risk he surely took into consideration. But I think he trusts the American people more than perhaps most do...that they will in time understand and see what he is trying to do and accomplish for this country...Big Plans and Ideas...and those which the country's been battling without wins for a long time. Newt challenges us to look at the nation and ourselves...what our country is and what it has become under the communist/progressive agenda...and what it needs to become again.... He's calling them out as well.

I'm up for the battles ahead when there is one in the lead who not only wants to fight but has the tools to do it with...and the knowledge to run them effectively. That's Newt and I'm behind him.. but it took me awhile to look at Newt and research his history and where he is today before I could reach this dicision....up til then I too would have written in some one elses name.
