The Evil of Two Lessers

On the eve of this presidential election we should remember that we're not required to vote for either of the two under-qualified candidates. A vote is a terrible thing to waste, and shouldn't be thrown away on same as usual politicians who pretend to be different from their predecessors, by claiming to be mavericks, or agents of change. That's plain silly.

I had considered voting for the Libertarian candidate, Bob Barr, but I think I'll write in Ron Paul instead. He's the only mainstream candidate who told the truth about this economic mess, and even presented his plan, but unfortunately for all of us, the media ignored it. He was also the ONLY major candidate who called for an immediate withdrawal of our combat-engaged troops from around the world, and focus on issues at home.

Mr. Obama, on the other hand, wants to escalate the conflict in Afghanistan, and continue the expensive war on terror which continues to strip citizens of their rights, weigh down the economy, and creates more enemies than friends for the US.

Mr. McCain wants the same thing, even if it keeps us there for a hundred years.

Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right - Left - Right

Let's stop the goose-step toward dictatorship, and vote responsibly.
