I appreciate what you are saying. But I maintain that my vote is an exercise of my freedom as an American citizen and thus is never "wasted" nor does it promote another candidate I did not vote for.
No one, me included, has to vote for Obama or Romney. If either of them get elected, it's because people voted for them. I, and anyone else that votes for someone other than Obama/Romney, will not be responsible for their being or not being in office. If I cast my vote for X, it's because I want X for President. At any rate, I'm not voting for anyone (Virgil Goode included) simply because they are "not as bad as" Obama.
There is a good candidate on my ballot, and I'm going to vote for him.
God bless you D-fendr!!!
God bless you too.
>>> “I maintain that my vote is ....”
I think you’re being a bit hypocritical on this forum. You’re going beyond voting and actively campaigning for other’s votes, criticizing those who don’t vote as you think they should.
I think that’s the same thing you’re objecting to in others.
Your actions in advocating other’s votes is the topic of my post you replied to. And you didn’t address those actions.
