I'll run from him faster than a scalded ape if he continues this trail.

so ur running to obama who you knw will tax us to death anyways???

 

[BigPapaVol]

I would not vote for Obama even if it meant submitting myself to torture.

 

[Vol Mania 21]

so are you not going to vote?

 

[BigPapaVol]

I'll vote and still likely vote McCain because it is a vote against Obama, but I will vote third party if he continues this tack.

Bob Barr?

 

[Vol Mania 21]

so a wasted vote if its third party. i knw where you are coming from, but the third candidate situation is a joke unless it's a true contender

I actually feel better about the McCain option than I did either option in 2004 - probably better than I felt about 2000 as well.

definitely better than either in '04, until now, but probably not 2000.

Voting for someone you line up with ideologically is less of a joke than voting against someone or for the "lesser of two evils," IMO

The GOP hasn't had any one to vote for since 1984...

Instead of raising the income limit for social security, McCain should be talking about partial privatization of it, that's the only way the program is going to remain solvent.

I really don't think I am going to vote for either of these guys. I have tried to like both, but just can't. What do you guys reccommend?

Third party!

Don't waste your vote on trash!

k:

 

[MG1968]

go to the polls, vote in your local elections, vote for the Congressman/Senator of your choice, and leave the Presidential ballot unchecked.

 

[OrangeEmpire]

Vote.... just not for the trash!

3rd parties can't be true contenders if everybody that wants to vote for them decides not to because they think they will lose. it is a self-fullfilling prophecy. If you rounded up all of the people on the right that were so miffed at the fact that McCain is the nominee that they would consider voting 3rd party, they would out number McCainiacs. But, sense most of these people that are ticked off believe 3rd parties don't have a chance (and don't realize that they are actually in the majority), they buy in to the fiasco that is our current election system and maintain the status quo.

Neither candidate is gonna touch that.

I'm pretty sure the opposite is true. A vote for someone you want is what our country is about, not pigeonholing yourself into this BS 2 party system.

I am right there with you. I told myself I was never voting R again, but I really don't see how I can vote for Obama. Oh well...
