[draws a deep breath]
...THERE WERE ONLY TWO PEOPLE ON THE BALLOT WHO HAD ANY CHANCE OF BEING PRESIDENT, AND THE OTHER ONE WAS BARACK OBAMA.
Folks like you can pretend you're principled all you want, but it's just ego. If you really believe that voting is about selecting a perfect candidate who cannot possibly affect policy so you can tell us all how pure and patriotic you are, you should write in "George Washington" every time you vote. He had as much chance of being elected President in 2008 as Chuck Baldwin did, and he has more executive experience.
Maybe so (@ this moment amyway), but @ least my conscience is clear.
Besides, the fact that there are only 2 viable candidates is mostly OUR fault. We (not me personally, but the American people as a whole) seem to care whether there is an (R) or a (D) by their name rather than whether or not they intend to abide by their sworn Oath to protect & defend the Constitution of the US. I know too many people who care about ONE single issue & don't give a damn about anything else. IMO, that is absolutely shameful & should be considered repugnant by anyone who loves this country.
Rather than fuming & yelling @ me, why not JOIN ME as I & other defenders of the Constitution try to get our country back?
