If the general election is McCain or Obama….

Posted on 01/31/2008 12:02:04 PM PST by Robbin

If the general election is McCain or Obama….

You can vote for one of those two, not vote for President, write in (which is the same as not voting), or vote third party

I will NEVER vote for McCain, you can take that to the bank! If you feel the same way, that leaves us with: Don’t vote, Write in, third party or OBAMA…

Not voting buys me nothing, write in or third party may make me feel a little better but unless the third part ticket is FRED/DUNCAN I don’t see myself going that route... But I’m toying with voting for OBAMA.

I realize I will be banned from the Freeper convention but hear me out….

Instead of not voting for McCain, I would get the sheer pleasure of voting AGAINEST HIM! It makes me warm and fuzzy just thinking about it. Now I’ve said over and over on this forum that I will never vote for the lesser of two evils again, because our evil gets more evil every election because we keep voting for them. The same people screaming vote for Mitt to stop McCain will be screaming vote for McCain to stop Hillary/Obama. But I wouldn’t be voting for the lesser of two evils, I would be voting FOR the first African American president! Obama will beat McCain in a landslide in the general election anyway because the liberals and independents that have supported him will all vote for Obama, so my voting for Obama will be meaningless except for two things.

1 Revenge on McCain for all the crap he has pulled on conservatives over the years.

2 Statistics yep, all the numbers that will be quoted over the years about the Obama victory. How many white males voted for Obama How many Republicans voted for Obama How many conservatives voted for Obama How many Rebel Flag flyers voted for Obama

The bigger the Obama victory, the weaker the race card will be in all future elections. The next time a liberal implies that my rebel flag is racist, I’ll say I’m not racist, I voted for Obama. I’ll get to drive around with my Obama bumper sticker for 8 years. Maybe the next African American I get to vote for will be a conservative republican like J.C. Watts or Mike Steele. Until then I think “Conservatives for Obama” has a nice ring to it….

let me f\review some things y’all have forgotten form the Demo side last time they were in power:

Assault Weapon Ban
Gun rights as a medical issue under the control of the Surgeon General
Ammo as hazardous waste.
Access to Federal Parks banned to those who were not environmentalists.
A promised Middle class tax cut that was 86’d before Clnton even took office.
Big taxes, new ones.

Get your heads straight, we are dealing with the same people.

Definitely want Obama as the Dem nominee! Telling everyone I'm an 'Obama Republican' to help him get over the top. If he does, the Clintons are through, their entire political civilization GONE WITH THE WIND...Hitlery whisked away on her broom...cackling...

"Goodbye, my little Pretties!"

I'll cross the November bridge in November...

For now, I see Obama as nutritious whole wheat, from the Land of Lincoln...and possible Great Emancipator (freeing me of the Clintons for the rest of my life...)!

So, 3 seconds of self satisfaction in the voting both from not voting for McCain is worth more than 4-8 years of Obama? Do you really mean that?

You know, the country’s going to hell in a handbasket. The way it currently looks, who we elect will only determine the speed at which we progress.

I am thinking clearly..

Which ever party wins the presidency, there is a greater likelyhood of people voting for that party’s congressional candidates.

You might not like it but that’s what normally happens

It’s a simple analysis. Who’s liberal agenda will the GOP be more likely to oppose? McCain’s or Obama’s? I think that the answer is obvious. The GOP will fight tooth and nail against anything Obama wants to do to this country. On the other hand, McCain could propose the exact, same agenda and they’d roll over for him because “He’s our guy”. If it comes down to it, I’ll vote for gridlock in November.

President Obabama is a terrifying thought. Worse than Hillary - and that ain’t easy.

There won’t be much gridlock if a landslide sweeps the Dems to 60 votes in the Senate . . . .

I’d be disgusted, but yes, I would vote for McCain.

It won’t matter, McCain won’t win anyway. Think about McCain going up against either Democrat and giving a performance like he gave last night. The Democrat is going to snicker and apologize to the audience for having to contradict McCain’s senior moment.

Right on, Juan McCain cannot win!

A third-party vote, on the other hand, sends a clear 'protest' message. The particular people running on the 3rd party ticket don't matter that much, since they're not going to get elected. Voting for the Constitution or Libertarian parties, for example, tells the GOP establishment "you could have had these votes if you weren't pushing leftism."

I agree.

I do not know any other way to get the point across to the RNC.

If Fred/Duncan ran as a 3rd party ticket against say McCain/Huck and whoever the Dems throw out there, I could easily see a scenario where Fred/Duncan got upwards of 20% of the vote, even though their money would be very limited vs the two BIG parties, just based on debate performances.

Nor will there be any gridlock of McCain’s in office after said Democrat landslide. I don’t see how the situation would be any different.

We desperately need “None of the Above” on our ballots.

Let’s look at it this way. We survived 8 years of Bill. This time we only have to survive 2 of Hill or Obama, then we elect a veto-proof Republican Congress and in 2 more years, we elect a real Conservative as President. Much better than perpetual RINOPLASTICS, once one is elected it only gets worse. As the military in Iraq say ‘Embrace the suck’ [temporary].

I would never encourage anyone to vote for Obama or Hillary.

I can’t support our own choices, but that doesn’t mean I’ll cast a vote for the other team.

I can’t help what I am presented with that I cannot support, but I can help from voting for the likes of the other two.

LOL

Nose, face, knife.

You connect the dots.

This is a case where third party would not be a wasted vote. The higher the vote count on the third party, the lower the vote count of the eventual winner and the higher the indicator of conservative displeasure.

If Obama is the nominee then the Clintons will do whatever it takes to make certain he loses....and we get McPain.

If Obama wins she cannot run again until 2016 as Obama would become the nominee again in 2012...she would be simply too old and haggard in 2016....ewwww

If Clinton is the nominee then McPain can win because there is likely a mountain of dirt that will be trotted out to tarnish her....there are probably vaults full of scandal being held for the proper time. If she gets the nomination she will probably have offended a chunk of the black vote and they will sit out the election. Then there is the fact that she is probably the only thing that will drive republicans and independents to the polls....to vote against her.

We just may end up with McPain as our unstable and spiteful president.... if so we will be damn lucky to avoid WW3.

PRAY
