Voting FOR and voting AGAINST
A lot of folks here are saying They would NEVER vote for so-and-so if they are the nominee. I know how you feel.
My candidate dropped out. I'm not way thrilled with what we have left, but one of them will be the Dem nominee.

You don't have to vote FOR the nominee... You could vote AGAINST John McCain.

I know... WTF's the difference? Well, there IS one.

If you go to polls to vote FOR someone you really hate, you slither in there thinking 'DAMN! I don't wanna do this.' You will be sick at heart & maybe you will be sick to your stomach as well. At any rate you will feel crappy about it.

If you go to the polls to vote AGAINST someone you totally despise, you stomp in there thinking 'I will NOT let this miserable bastard, John McCain, become the next President no matter WHAT I have to do to stop it.' You will feel a whole lot better in that case. You will also be helping our country, and this country, at this time, needs all the help we can give.

So please, give a thought to voting AGAINST John McCain.
Thank you! :hi:

1. Everytime I vote I get a twofer
Edited on Thu Mar-06-08 10:50 AM by BOSSHOG
I vote FOR all the democrats and I vote AGAINST all the republicans and that's exactly what I'll do in November.

For Christ's sake if anyone is thinking of NOT voting for a Dem in November just take a moment and think about the makeup of the Supreme Court. Hold your nose and vote FOR the dem.

2. Since i actually likle both our candidates this doesn't really affect me
But I suspect that if you really don't like Hillary or Obama, your disdain for McCain might not be enough to justify pulling the lever for them.

3. I hope Dems will be stronger than that.
At least maybe reading the OP will make some folks think about it.
