Yep, would be interesting indeed if the home of conservative discourse became a place where the first amendment died. No matter what you say, objectively, staying home, or voting write in, is a vote for obama.

Period, there is no logical disputation of that very unpleasant fact. Romney was my last choice, just before obama.

Vitriol only emphasizes the lack of logic in the position, IMO.

There are several objectives that can be met by voting. First you can try to put your boy over on the public by giving him more votes than the other guy. Or, alternatively, you can vote for someone else just to make sure the other guy doesn't get over 50%.

That can happen when your guy is going to come in second, with certainty, so you want to minimize the aggregate impact ~ that third-party candidate can be very useful in showing that neither of the front runners were metaphysically wonderful.

Then, maybe you want to give voice to the problems that ensue when the ruling elite cut out the guys on the bottom entirely.

Politics is a hard business. Be glad you can vote. Make sure your vote counts for something.

Mathematically and materially FALSE. A non-vote or a third-party vote favors neither Romney nor Obama. No matter what you feel -- and that is all it is, is emotional feeling, that is the truth.

There's only one way you can vote for Obama, and that is to mark his name on your ballot. PERIOD.

There is also only one way you can vote for government tyranny, and ABOers are on the verge of doing it.

You mean vitriol like No Dems had where he threatened FR with a frivolous lawsuit?
FR is private property, the owner can tell you to get lost if he doesn’t like what you said.
Try and push homosexual marriage, or other liberal clap trap.
Go ahead, scream about your First Amendment rights while doing it.
