I vote on principle most of the time. But this is too important.
Sounds like you are compromising. Compromising is what got us here in the first place. Our biggest problem by far is entitlements and the deficit. It doesn't matter who gets elected neither candidate will change it. They aren't even discussing it.
Sadly I don't have any answers.
Good catch. Heck, I don’t even have to compromise, I live in New York. My vote doesn’t matter anyway. But it’s really the only way I look at it right now. I respect the opinion of those who cannot vote for McCain out of principle, I just cannot see that scenario as anything but a vote for Obama.
I am no fan of McCain, but considering the options... OK, it’s coming down to this for me. Do you think we stand a chance of influencing him when he is in office? I know the Obamanation would not listen to a thing conservative have to say, but maybe McCain would.
