Hold on to your principles, man! We’ve got an effed up political system that many here want to believe is the most perfect on the planet and beyond, and no one wants to do anything to change it. Your one vote, just like my non-vote won’t re-elect the Communist from Kenya, despite all the vulgar insults and pronouncements above.
Romney or Obama will be the next President. Obama is pro gay marriage and pro taxpayer funded abortion on demand up to birth. Romney is not.
Re-elect Obama and in 4 years all the issues you social cons are so concerned about will be legislated. As Roe vrs Wade should of taught you it is much harder to overturn law then it is to stop it in the 1st place.
You have one last chance to stop the secular Left. And instead of grabbing it with both hands you are throwing it away in a fit of childish spite because your candidate of choice did not win the GOP nomination.
You can lie to yourself all you want about what spirit you are acting in here, God knows the truth.
Is there any reason we can’t all agree on the value of voting for Goode (or Johnson or whoever) at least in states where it would have no chance of affecting the election’s outcome (hard red or hard blue)?
At any rate, I’m back with two thoughts for anyone who reads this far down the comments – take them or leave them, of course:
1. For anyone who is clearly NOT IN A SWING STATE (I’m in New York and no matter who I vote for it is well known that liberal NY City will deliver all of the electoral college votes for my state to B.O.) – since in a clearly non-swing state (dark blue or bright red) we can vote for anyone and it simply does not affect the election in the slightest, why not consider a more conservative third party vote or writing in a candidate? Just a thought. This would send a message to the GOP (who refused to listen to us!!! - the majority was against Romney in the primaries, that is if you put all of the conservative votes together: Newt, Santorum, Paul, etc.).
2. Similarly, for anyone WHO HAS CLEARLY DECIDED THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT GOING TO VOTE for President this year, in this case, a vote for a third party candidate or a write in candidate would not change anything in the slightest (and you should definitely go to the polls to vote for your Senator, Congressman, and local officials where your vote counts more and can help save our endangered country).
I mention these two situations because I think many of us fall into the first category and some FReepers have openly expressed the second.
Instead of creating another post, for anyone who is interested in knowing why anyone in the world would vote for Virgil Goode who clearly has no chance to win, here is a link (4 minute video and a brief article) that captures the thoughts (more or less) of some of us: http://www.sunlituplands.org/2012/08/a-plague-on-both-their-houses-virgil.html
God bless you, my FRiends!
God and your country are not impressed by stupidity. Your family - well, poor them
