or... I can refuse to cast another vote for yet another "lesser evil" candidate that won't stop the slow but steady erosion of our civil liberties, won't prevent the coming depression/recession, and most of all won't reverse our decline towards a totalitarian police-state, and instead vote for the candidate who best reflects my principles. Principles, Lazs. They mean something to some of us.
but at least you will have "voted your concience" You are upset that I am not encouraging others to waste their vote... that I am "intruding" on your ron paul love fest threads.. If you don't want a fight then don't stick your face out there in the threads about mccain.
I will sleep soundly knowing that I voted my conscience. I'm not upset at you, disappointed is more like it. I haven't mentioned Ron Paul in this thread, but since you brought him up, then yeah, he's my guy.
ron paul can do nothing more for this country but to bow out at this point. He is a republican for a reason.. He thinks like I do.. they are the lesser of two evils.
that remains to be seen.
At this point.. all he can do is siphon off votes from republicans.. I have faith that he will not let that happen.. he seems too good a man.
cry me a river, he could've been your candidate. (and yes, there's still the prospect of a brokered convention, so I'm not ruling anything out...) just think, you could have spent the last 6 months helping to convince others of Paul's qualities, instead of tearing him down at every opportunity. it doesn't bother me anymore, I'm just mildly disappointed... I just hope your guy doesn't do so much damage to the constitution that a real Republican won't be able to save it in 2012.
