VOTES, are not wasted!! We vote for the one that best represents us on all the issues. That said, Bush did not represent my conservative values, so I voted for the Constitutional Party candidate who did stand on principals I believe and would fight to defend.
Bush still does not represent me, does a vote for the C.P. mean I'm throwing the election to Kerry? No. I believe that those who are voting for Bush to keep Kerry out are wasting their vote! There is nothing easy about this election cycle. It won't get any easier if voters are not sending "THEIR" representatives to Washington.
ALL VOTES COUNT, that was the intent of our founders.
Yes, it does; a vote denied Bush is a vote FOR Kerry, no matter how you rationalize it to yourself.
But go ahead, put YOUR agenda before the rest of the country; just be gone from here the day after the election if Kerry wins; we won't want to hear your whining then.
I wish I had the resolution to state it like that.
