What bothers me is the attitude many folks have that, "I will not vote for the 'lesser of two evils.' " This is pure B.S. No matter who is running, no one is "perfect," but one will certainly be a better choice than the other. In the last election, John McCain was a long ways from "perfect." Barack Hussein Obama was even further from being "perfect." Consequently, many folks who didn't like either one of them just stayed home and didn't vote at all. This is stupid. As bad as McCain was, he would still have been head and shoulders above Obama. At least John McCain loves his country and is patriotic, which is more than can be said about our current president.
As Americans, we live in the best country in the world. We have a privilege to go to the polls to vote for the candidates of our choice. We should not only feel very blessed to have this privilege, but we should also consider it our duty. Be sure to vote when given the opportunity, but be honest enough to just vote once. Be sure to vote, but for goodness sake, pick the one that is "less evil" than the other.

Not really- I haven't sold my soul to a cult like so many of you have- so that you have to vote for whoever/whatever your cult leaders tell you to...
I still have the ability to think for myself- and then make my choices from a broader spectrum...
I hate to be the one to break it to you, Oldtimer, but you are not one bit smarter than any of the rest of us.
