It must end for any real [i]change[/i]. If all the people who said, "Yeah, I don't really like this guy, but I am going to hold my nose and pull the lever because this other guy who has my interests in mind cannot win," would actually vote on principle, we might get somewhere. We might send a message to Washington that no, we are not happy with the lame duck congress who freely gives their powers over to the executive, we are not happy with the fiscal irresponsibility and politicization of our economic livelihood, or wars of aggression, or trampling on our liberties, or our foreign policy of interventionism that kills hundreds of thousands of innocents. Both of the major parties are responsible for these things, and both of the major candidates support these things, each to a slightly different degree, so why the hell do we keep electing them? As it stands, we do nothing but reward them for screwing us over. Some might say that a vote for Nader (or any other 3rd party cndidate) is a vote for McCain, but if I see no real difference between the candidates on the underlying issues that truly matter IMO (foreign policy, monetary policy)... I would [i]prefer Obama win[/i], but voting for the lesser of 2 evils is still evil and I have done enough of that with my vote in 2004. Neither he nor McCain deserve my vote, to me that would be a waste. I'd rather abstain. So my choice is Nader, and while I do disagree with him on many issues domestic, on the above issues he represents me closest, and for that he gets my vote unless by some chance Ron Paul gets back into it. :) Edit: btw, you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who supports and is crazy enough to try and defend Palin on this board me thinks. ;) [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/1866]Ramasax[/url] on 09-30-2008 18:57)[/small] Loading...
