I'm not taking my ball home at all. I'm making a tactical decision to prevent a Hillary presidency, which I believe is in the best interest of the country.
The fact that a liberal, peacenik, Massachusetts senator is even this close after 9-11 is indicative of Bushs ineptness at leadership. I fully believe that Bushs liberalism will proceed in full earnest after his re-election. The consequences of this will be disastrous in the 2006 and 2008 elections. I will not be happy regardless of who wins tomorrow.
You're preventing nothing with your puny protest vote. Quit kidding yourself. Nader, the Greens, the Libertarians, and the CP might get 1% of the vote tomorrow combined.
If being irrelevant gives you a sense of honor, go for it, but don't try to convince us that you're making any kind of meaningful tactical decision. That's nonsense.
And...you are NOT preventing Hillary being elected in '08.In fact,you are doing less than nothing to stop her.
You don't understand anything at all about politics.It's all just emotion,on your part.
Indeed, you are taking your ball home. Let's assume that you like Coke, six people like Sprite, and seven like cyanide. A vote is called to order drinks, and you decide that Sprite is a sucky wuss drink, so you vote for Coke dammit! and the six Sprite drinkers can join you or be damned. The cyanide drinkers carry the vote and you all die. Boy you sure taught those Sprite guys a lesson though!
The bottom line is that Bush would loose more votes appealing to you than he would gain, and that's not saying you are wrong. You and I likely agree on these issues. But the fact is that you are getting pissy because Bush isn't your perfect candidate. I'll take 80% over 20%. In fact, I'll take 40% over 20%. When the electorate is this evenly split, you aren't going to get a boutique candidate that can win.
I invite you to take one for the team and for evolutionary change and vote Bush tomorrow.
The fact that a liberal, peacenik, Massachusetts senator is even this close after 9-11 is indicative of Bushs ineptness at leadership.Hmmmmm?????
Guess you didn't notice that Kerry didn't release his form 180 to open up his military record and the MSM didn't questions that, while SeeBS trotted out the Bush FAKE DOCUMENTS. I could list a whole lot of other crap, but I don't have the time or interest right now. Kerry is as close as he is in the polls because of the media and because the polls are not right. The only poll that matters is the one that's happening tomorrow.
I already voted for President Bush on Oct. 18th. I suggest and hope you will vote for him, too.
Go, Dubya, go !! .....
PS: Suggest you also stop watching the MSM.
