I consider not voting as the right and moral thing to do when the choices are "evil" and "lesser of two evils"... both being evil regardless of degree.

I absolutely concur. Ron Paul & Jesse Ventura are the only ones that share my beliefs on the constitution and current state of the government.


I defaced my '08 election ballet by writing in Ron Pauls name... I went and voted early just so I could make sure to get a paper ballot. It didnt count because I wrote his name in obviously.. But it is all I could do and still hold my honor.. I cannot justify voting for a puppet, regardless if someone says they are the lesser of two evils.

Jesse Venturas ' Vote of No Confidence' idea was the best.. ' Im here to vote, to make my voice head... But Im not here to vote for someone I dont believe will handle the job in a constitutional manner.'

Then you're willingly handing over the decision to someone else. No matter what face you put on that, it's still a fail. If all you'll ever accept is perfect you're living in the wrong place. You're rarely, if ever, going to get it. Sometimes, maybe even most of the time, the best you're going to get is the lesser of two evils, which is still better than the alternative.

Voting or not voting based on your principles is ALWAYS the right thing to do, don't let anyone tell you different.

I could just as easily say the "gotta vote for the lesser of two evils" crowd is exactly why we have this vague and ambiguous, double speak, two (one) party system we all love so much.

And who is the GOP offering up that's better?

Who knows at this point? I promise it won't be Trump. He's like Palin. He'll never even officially declare. Anyway, what use is it to whine and cry about it a year and a half before the election? If it's important to you go out and do something about it. Get involved. Don't just sit around boohooing about something that hasn't even happened yet. That's a sure way to lose.

Yep - but it's that good old brainwashing we get with the "if you don't vote, you can't complain" B.S. that's been warmed back up every election cycle. What a crock. If both candidates (parties?) suck, and don't at all represent me - I have to at least vote for one or I can't complain? Give me a break. So just pick a box - any box - and go wave your flag and be proud that you "exercised your right". No thanks.
