As I have expressed my extreme dislike for McCain (voting for him is like voting for Hitler over Stalin because, well, I'm not Jewish and after all he only killed 5 million compared to Stalin's 20), I have been told that to vote for anyone but a Republican is "wasting" my vote. On the contrary, voting for any one of the three liberal globalist and hoping that it magically turns into something better is throwing away my vote.
I only get one vote, and with that vote I get to express my desires for the nation. With that one vote, I have an opportunity to change the direction of the country toward positive change.
The old adage here applies: only a fool repeats the same folly and expects a different result. We have been duped into voting for the lesser of two evils for two decades now, and we have a huge national debt, involvement in two apparently unending wars while considering starting a third, a free falling dollar, and government intrusion of our liberties. Federal spending is absolutely out of control, and the government bail outs through "tax breaks" and stimulus packages are only making the financial situation worse while also sending the dollar even lower. Do we honestly think that Clinton, Obama, or McCain are going to bring about any improvement in these things?
I am still hoping that by some miracle have an opportunity to see Ron Paul on the ballot come November. Barring that, I will be carefully evaluating the Libertarian and Constitution Party candidates. I refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils and will instead vote for the man or woman who best represents my views. To do anything less would be to waste my vote.
