Well said!

I am tired of being told that the single-issue, 3rd party voters are the ones w/principles.

I have principles, as well. What sort of principles lead people to abandon responsibility for the outcome of their votes?

In the largest town in my county we need only 122 votes over last year to elect W. In my township, the margin needed is only 42. We have 250 volunteers signed up to canvass independents and to GOTV. THESE are the people w/principles and they are willing to work for them.

The only lesson I learn from the selfish single issue voter is that some people want all the freedoms of America with none of the responsibilities and none of the hard work. Personally, I will hold each and everyone of them responsible if Kerry wins and will make sure to let everyone know who is responsible if that disaster takes place.

You might want to make this your tagline. It is great!

Speaking of single-issue voters, the campaign of Ralph Nader and his Socialist Worker's Party cohort is championing the cause of closing the border, protecting American jobs from the invading foreign dish washers and lawn clippers, and persecuting those evil, greedy corporations (owned by retirees in town) who hire illegals. I don't think these single-issue ideologue-driven voters' ballots would be going to the conservative anyway.

You and me both. Glad to hear about how you guys are getting out the vote. That is what is so important -- everyone needs to be out there volunteering. Our local candidates need volunteers as well if there is not a Bush-Cheney campaign in their states.

Here in OK our State GOP is printing Bush-Cheney yard signs and bumperstrips so we can blanket the state even though we are already in the Bush column. It will help our other candidates down the line.

W gave up on the whole "president" thing and is running for mayor of your town?

responsibility for the outcome of their votes

If your state is not right on the brink, the responsibilities of your vote in the presidential elections are zilch, nada, nothing, zero, zip. I'm surprised that I have to explain to people here about how the Electoral College works.
