Can We Have A Worse Choice
How is it in this great country of ours, out of 300 million people, the best we can come up with for president is Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain? It is no longer picking the lesser of two evils, but rather picking the evil of two lessers.
I for one, will not vote for either of them, and I’ve heard all of the “your throwing your vote away” rehtoric enough to make me puke, and it still will not change my mind.
I can’t vote for Obama based upon what and who he is. How could I vote for someone who believes a tea party with Mahmoud in Iran is a good idea? Or that the killing of a viable child post-pardum is a reasonable medical procedure? I can not and will not vote for a Marxist (which pretty much eliminates the entire Democrat party).
John McCain isn’t exactly better. How could I vote in good conscience for an individual who wrote legislation that violates the first admendment? (Which is exactly what McCain Fiengold does.) Or how about voting for a man who wants to allow millions of Illegal Aliens amnesty?
The answer is simply I cannot support either candidate from either major party. I no longer can vote for a candidate because the other guy might be worse. In my opinion Obama and McCain are both equally bad for this nation, and I refuse to give in to those who say I am throwing my vote away.
Why is doing research, wieghing options, and finding a candidate that meets a majority of my beliefs, values, and opinions throwing my vote away? After all, most people won’t do half of that, and cast thier vote based on what letter comes after the persons name. Just because the candidate I vote for won’t likely win, doesn’t make my vote a waste. I will be able to sleep at night knowing I voted my conscience, my values, and my beliefs. Not the evil of two lessers.
