I’ll vote for him, but I’m not going to be happy doing it.
I have registered Libertarian because of the non-choice choice…
Bill
I’m holding on the Libertarian option until Bob Barr gets their nod. Remember who else is running for that: Mike Gravel. Now there’s a Moonbat’s Moonbat. He makes Dennis Kucinich look conservative.
I’ve been a Libertarian for years, although I usually vote Republican in the nationals. I’m probably more okay with McCain (that name literally means “Child of Cain.” Hmmm....) than most of you guys, but..... all I can do at this point is wait and see. Sometimes he has struck me as a thoroughly loose cannon, but sometimes he has struck me as the only actual voice of reason in Congress, too. To be fair, being a voice of reason can be a handicap sometimes when dealing with unreasonable people.
Gang, one thing that he has been consistently conservative (yes, I’m saying that McCain’s been conservative on something!) on is abortion. He has said that he would nominate pro-life judges (or SCOTUS justices). Pro-life judges tend to be conservative in other areas, too (not necessarily that they are, but the tend to be). That is one thing I can vote for him on.
I will also wait and possibly change my mind, but right now the choice is between Senator Obama and Senator McCain.
Okay, that’s not a choice generating real ecstasy in my tattered old black heart, but it’s clear enough. We either get a pseudo-Republican who will likely—hopefully - appoint Conservative Judges, or we get a Marxist-populist radical in the image of Jimmy Carter but without the ‘morality nonsense’.
Unless there’s a third choice that can be elected, voting in order to avoid choosing the ‘lesser of two evils’ is a stupid move to pretend self-righteousness while allowing the greater evil to prevail.
