Who's protesting? 
I've just grown weary of voting  for the "lesser of two evils" or casting my vote for one, so the other "bad" guy doesn't get in.
Been there, done that....recently, as a matter of fact. Stare

I understand your frustration Mark, But like the saying goes " you play the cards you were dealt". The problem is we can't fold, we've got to much in the pot!!!!

I don't want to argue, I'm just asking.
 
I'm totally dissatisfied with Sen. McCain as a Presidential candidate, Bill.
I appreciate the mans prior military service, but I think he's tax and spend, BIG government politician, as recently evidenced by his support of The Bail Out.

Oh I won't argue with ya on this my brother. I say vote your conscience. If your gut says Barr go with Barr. I'll probably be right there with you on that one. Fact is beyond the 2nd amendment issue, it's really a matter of how one will hurt us as opposed to the other.

Well, hmmmm.......
 
I'm beginning to like him more than I used to....of course, Obama would be a CATASTROPHE.  Think of your Gun Rights....think of Supreme Court picks......[how about Charles Schumer for the Supreme Court?  Mario Cuomo?  Hillary Clinton?  Dozens of Kennedys that I was blissfully unaware of..........? ]

So, my "rights" will be more secure under a McCain presidency, Ed?

Why not just vote for Obama and admit it?  Because a vote for Bob Barr is a vote for Obama.  Any vote not for McCain is a vote for Obama.

No........ A vote for Bob Barr is a vote for Bob Barr. If I vote for Bob Barr and the vote tallies in Obamas count. That's vote fraud, which will likely happen anyway.

What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?

No one said McCain was perfect, but he is the lesser of two evils.  Gentlemen, most of us here are conservative, and being conservative is voting for what is best for the country, not what is best for ME, or MY FEELINGS, But for CORE beliefs and values.  Thats what seperates us for Democrats, they don't have a Core.

Four or five competitive parties would be a nice dream. It'd probably make things a little less evil than the two major party system we have right now.

I believe we need to vote for the one we believe will at least THINK about what we are concerned about.  Obama we know will not, With McCain you can limit his power with keeping on our Senators and Representatives. We really need to stay in our Representatives and Senators faces. Hey, my Senators and Representative know my phone number. I rattle their cages all the time.
