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.

That and $4.50 will get you a cup of latte, maybe.  With your superior attitude you may be able to sleep better for awhile but like the rest of us (unless you are considering moving to another country) you will have to endure the government that you didn’t have a role in choosing.  LOL.


You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

FH,

I am with you bud. 

We’ll see how this November abortion goes, but either way, the USA is screwed.  I too will be voting for none-of-the-above, and praying like hell for divine intervention in the meantime (say, McCain picks Newt Gingrich as a running mate, instead of Lieberman, Bloomberg or Kerry, and then dutifully has his overdue debilitating heart attack) but won’t hold my breath.

[what’s going on with the f’ed-up code on this page that posts on a carriage return??? ]

I can easily foresee the anger I will feel with the first of what is to be surely a long series of bone-headed anti-American moves by Obama. 

Otherwise, I can easily foresee the boiling rage I will feel with the first of what will undoubtedly be a long series of bone-headed and anti-American moves by McCain.

The difference will be that if it is McCain, I will have foreseen the damage on the horizon and voted to subject myself to the abominations of Mass Amnesty, rights for terrorists, Cap-and-Trade and whatever debilitating anti-US measures Soros commands him to do. 

Voting for McCain is pulling the pin on a grenade and not throwing it away.  It is farting in your own space suit.  It is diving head-first into a rock quarry emptied of water.

Oh yes, and it will so completely and utterly destroy the distinction between Republican and Democrat that there will be no chance of Conservatives having a voice in government for years to come, save the emergence of a Conservative Third Party.

If the place is going to go to hell, I want the Dems to own their own fiascos, not create them under the guise of the Manchurian-Candidate McCain’s false banner of Republican, and have the blame heaped on the hapless GOP.

Maybe it’s the simple difference between getting murdered and committing suicide.

Helluva choice, ain’t it?
