I’m not pleased with our choices for President, either, but I’m not an idealist willing to throw away my vote in some symbolic protest that accomplishes nothing.
This election I am voting against the worst candidate, because I live in the real world, and there are real consequences to elections.
I realize that my position is increasingly a minority position at this forum, and that’s fine. People can and should vote as they please. However, my vote will matter and yours won’t. That’s a fact.
You live in Texas. There is no possibility whatsoever that the GOP will lose Texas. So how is your vote any more significant than that of a Texan who votes third-party? The Republicans are getting the electoral votes either way. Why be a McCain whore if you don't have to?
