agreed fully.

Thank you.

its just that when the alternative is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad, treasonous

There's a slight problem here — the alternative implies a binary choice, but there's more than just Democrat to vote for.

(but can an illegal alien foreign agent be prosecuted for treason?)

Perhaps; the definition says:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
It makes no mention of the person's nationality, allegiance, citizenship, etc.

if the D alternative was just almost any regular type of D, ranging anywhere from HST to JFK to even LBJ alas, I would stay home as you suggest

Excuse me, but I've not suggested staying at home – anywhere.
I want people voting; but I don't want them voting "because the other guy's worse" — they should vote for somebody.
(Even if that person has no chance of winning, vote for someone.)

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.John Quincy Adams

extreme times make for difficult choices. my choice if the candidate is another enemy foreign agent type... is to vote for whatever R candidate is run against him...........even tho I may have to hold my nose doing it

And there's where we break off; I will never vote while holding my nose again. I did that in 2008 and, to my shame, voted for McCain — I promised myself I would never again hold my nose and when 2012 came around that promise saved me from the shame of voting Romney.

just my 2 cents worth. take or flush it as you wish.
I can’t really hope to convince anybody of this viewpoint, given the very disappointing R candidates of recent times

Aye — the recent Republican party actions are, quite frankly, despicable and show the party to be of negative worth when it comes to most of the party's planks.

There appears to be NO shame for those that continue to ENDORSE Romney to this day!
