I couldn’t care less about “points”. I’m as disgusted as anyone with our choices for this upcoming presidential election. But the fact remains that either Obama or McCain is going to be our next president and the Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Services. The election is now only three months away. I won’t do anything that would help Obama win. And that means I won’t “not vote”, “write in”, or vote third party. That helps Obama, and THAT is a fact too. I’ll vote for McCain because it’s the only real choice for anyone who gives a damn about this country and our military men and women.
When you hear about Democrats that are so upset with Obama that they are threatening to not vote, write-in, or vote third party, doesn’t that make you happy? Well, the same is true when the shoe is on the Republican foot.
Bravo! Your post was extremely well put. Every last one of us who occupy the Right side of the political spectrum, from libertarian Right, to center Right, all the way to the far, far Right, have got to get what you said into our stubborn heads. There really is only once choice for anyone who gives a damn about this country; about our military; about the gains we've made in the war against radical Islam; in short, about everything conservatives and others to the Right side of the political spectrum claim to hold dear.
