Bob Barr might be a conservative, but PERSONALLY he he a SLEAZE. The more McCain opens his mouth - the more DEPRESSED I get, If it wasn't the POST 9/11 world I'm living in, I'd give the LP (or the Consitution Party) may vote, but since I'm a REALIST, do I want to vote for someone who'll help elect a socialist who'll harm the ECONOMY with TAX hikes (bob Barr), or vote for a guy I agree with on 2 things (tax cuts, and the WOT) and pray that he'll be no worse then Bush 41.
Yes, I believe voting for BobBarr (or Chuck Baldwin)will help elect Obama - and couple that with Harry Reid and Nancy as leaders -- we will be in deep manure. I'm still trying to see who McCain will get for VP, that will be my deciding point if I should quit the GOP or not. I grew up in the GOP - and I want to stay there, but I want small government -- Barak will not do it -- NEITHER will McCain. (McCain will grow it slower thou.)
Voting for Barr will not elect Obama. It will be a landslide for Obama thus voting for Barr will not change the result one way or the other. Voting for McCain is like tilting at windmills.
I understand your thoughts. I used to think the same thing about voting third party.
You have to do what you believe is right. I have no problem with that.
I disagree that it is the best way to go, but I understand how you came to the decision. You can only vote your conscience and you only have to answer to yourself. If you made the decision you believe is the right one and the best one, you’ve done the right thing.
As far as personal sleaze goes, I could point out that McCain is no prize in that area. But there is no need to get into that unless you want to.
You see your way clear to vote third party and I can’t see my way to vote for another liberal just because he’s a Republican. That’s OK. That’s why we have elections.
