No thanks.. I am done voting for the lesser of two evils.
Real mature. obama thanks you.
The troops thank you.
Yep... I agree... 4 years of Hussein should bring about the rise of true conservatism again. McCain will destroy the United States quietly, and we’ll go like lambs. With Hussein, at least people will get mad and fight back...
Good luck with that !!! Ron ?
Here’s what I said to another Obama enabler on another thread; I believe it applies to most of them:
I like McCain about as much as I like a punch in the nose. But Obama is a different story. McCain is a liberal but Obama is a Marxist. It’s like choosing between JFK and Krushchev.
The refusal to vote for McCain is purely emotional. You’ve made it all about yourself and and your perfectionist view of who you should vote for, according to an idealized image of yourself. That tells us who has to get over what.
“No thanks.. I am done voting for the lesser of two evils.”
OK. How about the better of two angels?
But not, evidently, done getting the greater of the two.
The “lesser of two evils” meme (and its brother “...is still evil”) has always struck me as being over the top.
In my experience (watching elections since 1976 and participating since 1984), no Republican candidate (and, tell the truth and shame the devil, not many Democrats) has been “evil”.
I believe it was Reagan who said something like “just because I only agree with someone 3/4 of the time does not make him 1/4 my enemy.”
Someone else said “the perfect is the enemy of the acceptable.”
I voted for my first choice, FDT, in my state’s primary (before he quit...all to soon, to my mind). He was imperfect; he was acceptable. Others then running were likewise imperfect but acceptable.
I cannot vote in another primary; so, as in about half the presidential elections I have voted in, I will now have to vote not for the lesser of evils, but for the least imperfect.
No matter who it is, that one will be identified by the letter “R”.
I’ve dealt with this same problem in 1996 and 2008.
(Been participating since 1984; ‘84, ‘88, ‘92, 2000, and 2004 were all no-brainers to me.)
In each case, my thought was to vote for my principles in the primaries, but against my enemies in the generals.
(I do not use the word enemies lightly. I would rather support someone I agree with a third of the time than one I believe intends my country— as I know it— actual harm...one who doesn’t even mean well.)
Results? I did not contribute, by vote or silence, to BJC’s second term; I will not contribute, by vote or silence, to BHO’s first.
Same here.
