I would take this argument a good deal more seriously, I suspect, from someone who actually knew the simple difference between "bear" and "bare."
More to the point, however: horse apples. ;) Even baseline, grammar school-level logic should serve to (re-)(re-)(re-)(RE-)illustrate the inherent silliness of said assertion. To wit: if (by your logic) any ballot not cast on behalf of Juan McCain is, de facto, one to the benefit of Cankles and/or The Obamessiah... then what, pray tell, is a ballot not cast on behalf of either Obama or Hillary?
Logic 101: if "A" equals "B," then "B" (likewise) must equal "A"... or else your theory is, quite simply... welllllllll...
That's a lot of verbosity to miss the simple plain fact that it depends who the voter is. It's a pretty safe assumption that a Freeper vote is a potential Republican vote. If someone who otherwise would have voted Republican stays home sulking or writes in Mickey Mouse, that is a GOP vote that's been lost. That is how a vote not cast for McCain BY A GOPer is helpful to the DEM party. Every two sulkers equals one vote for Hillary/Obama.
