Because I want the Dems to win. Look at what they are inherting! Let them run amock. We dont have a choice anyway.
It makes sense to me. Why try to battle an republican incumbent? Let the Dems screw things up. It will make it easier for us in four more years. (less than that really)
In the next four our rights and finances will be worse off and maybe people will start looking for real solutions... maybe.
I would like to tow the Paul line and vote for Baldwin. The folks in my RP community are shocked. Truth of the matter is, I dont care for Baldwin much and I dont want McCain to win. I dont like McCain (although I do like Palin) and FUCK the GOP. We were treated like retards with STD's throughout this political cycle.
You know, I would have carried the party line had we been treated fairly.. or at least acknowledged. Ive been treated better while recieving wedgies.
So thats it. Im decided. I will support RP until my last breath. Strategically, I think its smarter for me to throw my vote behind the Dem Douchebag so we can build our candidate to win in 2012.
don't do it, parke... you've got to vote for the right reasons, not with the same fear, confusion and anger that has led many, many elections to result in the 'status quo' feeling confident that the 'status quo' was still being selected and was safe to continue... let them know it's not safe, for themselves or others.
Because you know it's not safe now - you know that McCain or Obama winning isn't going to 'change' anything or 'keep things safe.' Like Ron Paul said at the rally, once you know these things, you have an important responsibility to do everything you can to make a difference.
Voting for Obama or McCain doesn't make a difference - I know you feel hopeless, and I know you're probably burnt out... take a week off politics to clear your head and heart and get your strength back up. You might not even need an entire week... try a few days of 'defragging.'
After your system is cleared up a bit, the first things you should read up on are the text transcripts of Obama's speech in Israel about Iran... and then read up on his plans for mandated civil service. So that you know voting for him is actually not the 'lesser of two evils', ironically enough! Crappy a candidate as McCain is (based on his view of the role of government, not him personally), Obama is seriously the more dangerous (based on his views of the role of government, not him personally), and definitely the one the establishment would love to see win so they could force things right in as quick as they did those bailouts.
Please review Obama's choices for his administration to get an idea of where things head with him and how much more quickly they reach there - even if for only a short time, as both Obama and McCain have inherited an unsustainable mess that is actually in the final stages of complete collapse on numerous levels.
You don't want to look future generations in the eyes knowing you helped the establishment, be it with good intentions or with bad intentions, or both, maintain their reign over everyone for 'just a little longer.' In times like these, it's even more important to adhere to the wisdom of the principles this nation was founded upon, and it's even more important to rise up and defend your rights, and as corny as this might sound at first, it's vital that everything you do politically reflect the truth, the love, the logic, the compassion, and the real changes you'd like to live by, in harmony with your government.
That you'd like the inhabitants of this nation to be able to witness in action one day. You know the common sense of Ron Paul - he's been right on just about everything - and even when he had to vote alone, he did it because it was right. And he did it for decades. Your decades start now, and you don't and won't be voting alone on this, but vote every time as if you are, because what if Ron Paul had given up and never been that one, lone voice of reason in congress the many times he was? Where would we be had he not set the example and then explained why he voted the way he did? Read his congressional speech about Rosa Parks... the role of government has been horribly mangled, and they used our best attributes (love, honor) to manipulate us into doing things through government that created a path to EVERYTHING being done through government.
The principles have got to make a comeback first and foremost - and the biggest comeback they have to make is within each of us, individually, so that we can avoid prolonging the destruction of not only this nation, but the world.
Vote with compassion for those in government(s) who are seeking guidance from the population... they know that something is wrong, too! Give them hope, give them substance, give them your honest vote.
