There have been a lot of threads since FDT's withdraw over what to do now. I'm not excited about any of our options, but definately do not want any of the democrat candidates sitting in the oval office this time next year. What I am considering is switching my party affiliation for the upcoming primaries in order to vote for the least electable democrat. Is this legal? How about ethical? The reason I ask is I am worried about Obama. I have seen way too many people who have no idea of his stance on the issues, but see him as a Kennedy type populist figure with a positive message. He avoids all challenging interviews and aside from debates (that most people pay no attention) he never really talks issues, just "change." His appeal is to the politically uneducated population that thrives on sound bites, which I am afraid is typical of the self described moderates. I am not too concerned about Hillary on the otherhand. She is an incredibly polarizing figure. She seems to be a Dean style breakdown waiting to happen and she hasn't even come up against people who disagree with her politics yet. Also, the effectiveness of the Clinton attack machine seems to be wearing thin. |
Not true. sadly, they are close, however. But I'll take my more-conservative-federal-court-nominees, administrators, and congressman over the liberal fudgepackers that would otherwise be emplaced if I voted third party.

All that would do was add one more vote to the column of people who support that candidates platform. This is not fucking rocket science or a horse race if you do not vote for the candidate who you most agree with you only hurt your own causes. The large text below is a quote form the Louisiana chairman to the GOP. snipped from another thread
If you keep supporting big centralized government socialists they will keep sending them, this country and the GOP desperately need to see that true conservatives will be supported. |
+1 Laws can rewritten, but the judges, SC justices, etc. will hang around a lot longer. ETA, I would consider a write-in or Paul protest vote to show the powers that be that we are not satisfied with a bunch of liberal-lite candidates, but are there really enough folks that would follow that line of reasoning to make a dent? |
At least 4 of the candidates in the Republican party would not ban guns. 2 are still in it. All of the democrats want to ban guns. |
Liberal Lite  Hell! All of the Republican candidates are a cunt hair away from being smelly hippies Zell Miller was liberal light.... I suppose, again, I will vote for the lesser of two evils.... |

Face it, it is just a smelly-assed-hippie election all around. There isn't one serious conservative among the front runners. Oh, and before the Ron Paul crowd shows up, I said front-runners, not also-rans. (I am going to vote for Ron Paul as a "fuck it" candidate)
