your excuse for not wanting to vote for Barr, as you stated above, is lame and as long as people feel that way things will never change
what are you gonna do? keep sitting around until the democrats or republicans put up a good candidate? you'll be dead long before they ever will |
I don't support Barr at all. I think McCain is a bad choice... just not as bad as Obama. The hell Jonny was asking to avoid is my argument that a vote for an unelectable candidate is in effect a vote for the electable candidate you support the least. EG... I don't want Obama for sure but I'll settle for McCain. A vote for Barr means one less vote for McCain and though statistically insignificant in the single voter case can matter when some big nosed Texan hands an election to Bill Clinton. Jonny disagrees with my argument. He believes that if enough people disregarded my argument the unelectable candidate becomes electable and therefore is a wiser vote. I think there is merit to each argument but it depends on how close (or far apart) the candidates are in voter support... And that's that. No new fresh hell here... these are not the droids you're looking for.
Your last comments aren't arguments or really even comments... they're snotty attacks. I disagree with you and your comments.
