Wow! I know I'm still pretty new here, but I am deeply impressed that many on the RPaulforums know the future! See above.
I appreciate your and my struggles to vote "right." Each comes down to his/her own core values.
I voted third party, but not for Baldwin who is not on the ballot in my state and would not be counted as a write-in. I would not have voted for him anyway after I heard his and R Nader's debate. Nader is indeed the brain, in this case, imo.
My conscience would not let me even consider Baldwin, regardless of Paul's endorsement. The reason is that Baldwin is all for freedom, but ignores many people in the nation when he constantly speaks of and to "evangelical Christians," in the same way McSame spoke of and to and for "veterans." I'm against neither in any way, and call myself "Christian," but not "a" Christian. I could not warp myself into the Baldwin camp because he chooses the freedoms he hopes to grant, and those he wants to curtail. He wants to be sure that every fertilized human egg becomes a baby. That leaves out Mom's conscience, values, ability to get an education possibly. . . . It also leaves to overburdened charities the care of many addicted infants and many HIV+ ones whose chances for adoption are greatly lessened because of these or other challenges.
If many black Americans vote for Obama, does that mean they are voting for racism? If I vote for the candidate who gives the best respect and shakes to the infirm elderly, am I voting for age-ism?
