The constitution details how and when to hold elections, it does not say why one must vote for one candidate or the other.

However, if you believe that voting is a matter of selecting a candidate that represents only a select few of your beliefs... when other candidates represent your views more closely.

Then you really should learn more about our form of government and what our founding fathers stood for.

(You would have us moderate our principals for the sake of a Republican victory?)

With all due respect Mr. President, my first principle is to vote for the most conservative constitutionalist available. My second principle is given that there is less than ideal candidate, I would vote AGAINST the person who would lead us further AWAY from the constitution faster than the one who could at least act as the slower deterent.

Life does not always give us ideal choices.

But which is worse Mr. Paine ? a President who has voted for and promises to give us more of constitutionalists like Justice Roberts and Justice Alito, or a president who has voted AGAINST these constitutionalists and promises to give us more of people like Ruth Ginsburg on the bench ?
