Comments on: Elect a Democrat? Five Reasons This Video Confirms Why I won’t Vote Democrat (nor Republican) http://adamp.com/politics/elect-a-democrat-five-reasons-this-video-confirms-why-i-wont-vote-democrat-nor-republican/ Apple, Bicycles, Boston, Dot and Web Media Sun, 08 Aug 2010 22:10:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Adam Pieniazek http://adamp.com/politics/elect-a-democrat-five-reasons-this-video-confirms-why-i-wont-vote-democrat-nor-republican/#comment-11160 Adam Pieniazek Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:15:31 +0000 http://adamp.wp42.com/politics/elect-a-democrat-five-reasons-this-video-confirms-why-i-wont-vote-democrat-nor-republican/#comment-11160 I understand your logic colleen but must urge you, gently, to not vote for an evil! I voted for Kerry in '04 (my first presidential election as a voter) under the lesser of two evils argument and came away thoroughly disappointed in the process but especially my reasoning. This year, I'll be voting for who I think would best lead this country, not for who is less evil. It's idealistic, yes, but at least I won't be voting for an evil! I now see voting for McCain or Obama as disregarding your individual say in our system and just letting the tyranny of the mainstream continue. The way to get rid of the evils in our system is not to vote for McCain or Obama but to vote for 3rd parties. If every McCain supporter voted for Bob Barr or Ron Paul and every Obama supporter voted for Ralph Nader we'd have debates surrounding the issues instead of politics and would send a true message that we won't continue to support corrupt politicians. In good conscience I can't continue to support the mainstream politicians who repeatedly lead us on a roller-coaster ride to nowhere.

I'm down with all you say but, I will go with the lesser of the two evils to try to get rid of the HUGE evil that has engulfed us. Vote for some idealist who can’t possibly win.
