In 1992? Jim Robinson's screen name only goes back to 1997!
You can go on kidding yourself about how a vote for McCain is "smarter" because McCain is a Republican. I've listed sound, rational reasons I have for being convinced that in fact, McCain is the more dangerous candidate. I will continue to do what I can to see that he is defeated because I am convinced that McCain would be worse for the nation than Hillary or Obama.
I have seen no one here present reason to believe that McCain would be better, except misplaced faith that having an "R" next to his name somehow ensures us from disaster. I believe you're thinking short term; I think I'm thinking long-term and staying mindful that what looks simply obvious at first sometimes turns out to be complicated and misleading. It looks "obvious" that McCain, being the Republican, is "our only choice." That's misleading -- we do have other choices, and I think my gamble is a lot better than yours. Yours is a sure loser no matter who wins. With mine, at least there's a chance Republicans could gain.
“I’m voting 3rd party or I’m staying home till the Repubs get their minds right”. Yeah, that’ll show ‘em!”
I’m voting for a third party. I differ with the GOP on political strategy as well as philosophy, and I will not vote for their Presidential candidate. I encourage others to do the same.
I couldn’t care less whether this election has any impact on the GOP, or whether it does or does not “show” them anything. I don’t want the GOP to dicipher election results or read the tea leaves. I want a conservative third party to replace them.
I am calling this BS!
