Bullcrap. A non-vote for a Republican is a non-vote. If it were a "yes" for a dem, there would be another mark added to the dem column. There is not.
As always, an election is choosing the lesser of two evils.
And as always you will find Conservatives walking away from you in droves. The lesser evil is evil all the same, and will not be supported.
Yes, the Rs are getting us to Socialism/Communism the same way the Ds are, but at least it will be at a slower rate!
If the champion of Conservatism has embraced Socialism, then we need a new champion. You may keep your damnable betrayers. Don't count on me.
I stand corrected: a nonvote for a Republican is, in essense, a vote for the Democrat. Example:
There are five voters - Conserv1, Conserv2, Conserv3, Lib1, and Lib2. Under scenario 1, the three Cs decides to vote for the lesser of two evils - let’s say it’s John McCain. So the liberal candidate - let’s say Obama - loses. Under scenario 2, the three Cs decide they do not like McCain. So they stay home. Who wins?
So, as I said, a nonvote for the Republican is, in essence, a vote for the Democrat. That’s just a fact.
