I don't care if Barak Obama in a peanut, he gets my vote. Period.

Personally I blame the voters who voted for the idiots. You just
confirmed
that theory.

Voting is an exercise in choice of lesser evil. Usually, its the
voter's
pocketbook that takes precedence in that choice. Another alternative
not
mentioned is Ron Paul.
If I thought Ron Paul had any chance of winning he would be my first
choice. I don't vote my pocket book, I don't have to. I vote to the
pocketbooks of others who will burn down if McCaine is elected with
that complete ninkompoop Palin. Russians fly in her air space. I
thought I heard everything.

Sad, but true. We may vote for another candidate that has a decent
chance to win, defeating the one that seems the least in our favor. Vice
voting for a candidate that is best qualified for our own personal
reasons and is much less likely to win. That's really, really sad for
many reasons. Going back to what I said, an exercise in choice between
lesser evils.


Couple of statements I noted:

Jesse Ventura said voting for the lessor of evils, you're still voting for
evil.

Rush Limbaugh said that if your team did not make it to the Super Bowl,
then you root for the team you want to win.

I prefer the latter. Bob Barr, Ron Paul and Ralph Nader are not in the
game.


If Rush is comparing N.L. vs A.L. with our 2 party system, he isn't
considering some may just want the N.L or A.L. team to lose, not caring if
the opponent wins.
If Jesse is talking generally about our 2 party system, accurate statement.

If we continually get the thought pressed in our brains a 3rd party
candidate has no chance to win, even if that is our preference, we may vote
for the spoiler in the 2 party system candidates.

I see a pattern here in my past replies... S.S.D.D.
