Are you stupid, or overcome with emotions? Let's say there are three voters, D, R, and RJ. D for dem. R for repub, and RJ for Ron Jeremy.
If D votes Dem, R votes R, and I vote R, then McCain wins 2-1. That's two votes for McCain, one for Obama.
If D votes Dem, R votes R, and I vote for Obama, then Obama wins 2-1, that's two votes for Obama, one for McCain. In that case, my lack of support for McCain would have resulted in a win for Obama.
Now, if D votes D, R votes R, and I don't vote, that is a tie. One vote for Obama, and one for McCain.
You might think I am a jerk, immoral etc. I am not here to argue that, but, as a matter of simple fact, not voting for McCain is not the same thing as votings for Obama. Or, to put it another way, R's should prefer that I don't vote, as opposed to voting for Obama. That is saying the same thing.. that not voting for McCain is not the same thing as voting for Obama.
This is simple logic. Now that it has been explained to you, I assume you will not go around saying that "Any vote withheld from McCain IS a vote for Obama". If you do keep saying that, I will just assume that you are a moron.
Now, don't get me wrong. Go fight for McCain. Just don't say things that are factually untrue now that it has been shown to you that they are factually untrue.
If some 501 people had stayed home in Florida or voted third party, instead of voting for Bush, we would have had 8 years of President Gore.
A vote withheld from McCain IS a vote for Obama.
