I don't recommend anyone to stay home election day, no matter who is the GOP candidate. Support your GOP guy up til then, if he doesn't make it, keep it GOP and not allow Hill, Edwards, or Osamabama to take the controls. Just imagine that they will have access to our nuke arsenal...or they may give it away.

I feel pretty much the same way, and voting gives you bi***ing rights (imho).

I am, however, disgusted by the GOP candidates and the one I *wanted* to vote for dropped out last week. Now I'm left with voting for the lesser of many evils or "uncommitted" next Tuesday.

I will not, however, vote for McCain. Ever. He is unstable and would stab you in the back while shaking your hand.

Now that is downright silly. It may be true if a person does not vote because he just doesn't bother to vote any election, then gripes about what is going on.

However, to go out and vote for someone whom you believe is unacceptable, is supposed to then give you a right to gripe, is absurd.

Do you see that if you then b*tch, you will be told "well, you voted for him".

Thats what happens when you hold your nose and abandon principle over and over.

Sometimes it is hard, and a risk to stand up and say "no more". It took me years to learn to stand up for what I felt was right in some personal matters.

When I finally did, I got results. No more falling back on "I gotta right to B*tch" philosophy. When I decided not to cross over that line in the sand, I found out that for once, I got my way
