"Voting is not a horse race. You're not going there to pick a winner
so you can brag to your friends. Voting is where you vote your heart and your conscience. ... if you don't vote your heart and conscience, you have wasted your vote." -- Jesse Ventura"Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." -- John Quincy Adams
Are these guys saying don't vote the lessor of two evils if you don't believe that either major party candidate is right for the job? I recently took a online test, BarackObamaTest.com and found that I disagreed with Senator Obama on 42 of 47 questions. This means that I disagreed with the Obama position 89% of the time. More than likely he would not be the person that I would vote for under any circumstance. However, what about John McCain? I looked and there is no similar test for him out there. But I would guess my score would be only 40-50% for McCain where I disagreed with him.
OnTheIssues.com rates McCain as a conservative, but he is a left leaning moderate based in his actions and votes in the senate. At best he is a RINO - Republican in Name Only. After all his position on immigration is onerous, his disloyal compromise in the gang of 14 on the matter of the judiciary nomination is loathsome and his stubborn support of Embryonic Stem Cell Research is puzzling and very troubling.
So based on the above quotes, right now I would be thinking of voting for either Chuck Baldwin or Alan Keyes, both third party candidates, but neither of which has much of a chance winning. Both of these men represent positions where we would disagree maybe 10% on any "test." However, with either of those two I would be voting on principle and it would give me sweet reflection that I did the right thing.
I’M VOTING INTELLIGENCE NOT COLOR
ReplyDeleteLet’s see my choice is John McCain or that smart black man Barack Obama?
McCain who does not know how to use a computer but is willing to learn if we elect him – I’ll just vote for that smart black man.
My Choices are: John McCain who says the economic downturn is psychological? - Na! I'll vote for the smart black man.
McCain who says you are better off under George Bush? - Nope I'll vote for the smart black man.
Mc Cain who wants to continue killing more people looking for weapons of mass destruction that do not exist? - Gee! I'll vote for the smart black man.
McCain who believes that we should stay the course but is not willing to support the people he puts in harms way. - I'll take a chance on the smart black man.
Should I vote for a man that does not know that 9-11 was caused by Osama Bin Laden not Sedam Hussein? - Easy! I'll vote for the smart black man.
Vote for the man who does not know if the Sunnis or Sheits are our enemies? - No way I'll vote for the smart black man.
Vote for the man who helped put our government on the China, Saudi Arabia credit card? - Not a chance I'll vote for the smart black man.
Vote for the man with the worst temper in the Senate to have his finger on the nuclear button? - No way - I'll vote for the smart black man.
Hey K -
ReplyDeleteThanks for your Komment.
A person does not need to be computer literate to be a leader. Because someone can use an email does not qualify him to be President of the United States. Especially if this his ONLY qualification, which apparently is the case with the black man Barack Hussein Obama.
How could you vote for a man who supports the eugenicist Planned Parenthood – whose Founder’s, Margaret Sanger, goal was to kill an overwhelming number of black babies at a rate double the percentage of black population? PP continues to kill black babies at a faster rate than Caucasians or Hispanics.
How could you vote for the person rated the most radically liberal in the Senate – who spent more time campaigning for President during his first term in the Senate than he actually worked as a Senator?
How could you vote for a man with no experience to be the President except his ability to eloquently read a teleprompter and maybe send emails?
How could you vote for a man who would increase the national debt via his many socialist welfare programs?
How could you vote for a man who would compromise our national security and weaken our national defense?
How could you vote for a man who associated with known domestic terrorists such as William Ayers or black liberation preacher and America-hater Jeremiah Wright or who was greatly influence by Communist Frank Marshall Davis during his youth while living in Hawaii?
How could you or anyone vote for a man who believes in infanticide and no-holds-barred abortions? Who promised the Planned Parenthood Federation of America that his first act would be to insure passage of the so-called Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) which would wash away all restriction on abortion including lifting the ban on partial birth abortions and allowing babies to be killed even after they are born after an botched abortion (infanticide)?
How could you vote for a man who does not wholehearted support the institution of marriage as being the exclusively a one-man, one-woman relationship and who does not support amendments such as California’s Proposition 8, which would protect marriage as being only between one-man and one-woman?
Hi gregjaye:
ReplyDeleteIn my bible the fifth commandment clearly states, “Thou shall not kill”.
I am a catholic and I do not belive in abortion, but I also feel strongly that you shall not MURDER.
John McCain, George Bush, Dick Chaney, and Condoleezza Rice are responsible for the murder of over 94,330 innocent people while they looked for nonexistent weapons of mass destruction. Of that total 4,164 were Americans. They are also responsible for the wounding of over 30,734.
