So in an election between Hitler and Stalin, who do you vote for?
Writing in your own name is the same as not voting, and you know it.
I don't vote for liberals, ever. Perhaps you think Hillary is better than Teddy Kennedy, but in an election between those two, I pass.
Here's a question for you, you live in Chicago, and no Republicans are in city council. Most don't even run. They never get more than 10% of the vote, is voting for them the same as writing your own name in? You bet it is.
So your choice is Dumbass Daley the liberal, or Jesse Jackson Jr the liberal, go ahead, make my day.
See what an easy choice that is? Who would do the least harm? Answer: DAley.
In most elections I often have to choose between Senator Lugar (whom I don't like and who is behaving increasingly RINO-ish) and some wild-eyed union-funded democrat. Although I am quite tired of Lugar, he gets my vote, because he is a lot better than a wild-eyed union democrat.
Although this phrase has become a cliche, you are making the perfect the enemy of the good.
I look at the election of representatives and senators not only for what beliefs and actions they will take to Washington, but who they will support for leadership positions. I do not want the democrats to take control of Congress. It would be a disaster for the war on terror, the military, and for any Supreme Court appointments the President may yet get to make. I imagine they will also maneuver things, as they did back in Bush 41's term, so that the President will have to raise taxes in order to get funding for the military. I do not want my taxes raised, and I want the troops to get the support they deserve.
The interesting thing to me is how many of you disaffected people are suddenly on threads telling us why you aren't going to vote GOP. It almost looks planned, but I would hate to think that was so. I like to take people at their word, so I am going to assume that this is your honest opinion as a Republican conservative.
Given my assumption, you are dead wrong.
