Wrap your noodle around this: if you do not vote, that is akin to voting “present.” Are you sure you want to emulate a certain someone?
Voting for someone who’s history of actions and statements is inimical to freedom is the same as voting for the other side. Voting “present” is better than that. Compromising with candidates like Romney is how we got in the mess that we are in. Continuing to vote for weasels like him is not the way out of this mess. It will only slow the collapse, slightly.
