Look, the point is that neither of the big two parties is our friend. As a conservative and registered republican I was appalled by some of the decisions by our current government, none the least of which is the federal drug program for seniors we started. I never saw how we could be saying that Social Security was going bankrupt and was out of control but then turn right around and start a brand new entitlement.
It's all buying and selling votes. There is no true difference with some of the current leadership. The republican leadership is "moderate"-a nice way to say they want to buy your votes on the cheap whereas democrats want to pay your way for the entirety of your life-and will continue to sale out the conservative part of it's base so long as it knows WE have no where else to go with our votes. I may vote for McCain (I have gone back and forth on this) but it is hardly an endorsement. It would be more a vote against Obama and THAT is exactly what he and the "Moderate" republican leadership is counting on.
So what to do? I dunno. I my vote Liberatarian this go 'round. There is much I need to learn about their candidate. The long and the short is that you can vote against Obame or against McCain but please, please, please be sure of what you are voting FOR.
