DCOK said: I'd love to vote for Gary Johnson (I'd prefer to write-in Ron Paul over anything) if my state allowed it (I think Oklahoma is the only state this election without a write-in or third party option). So, instead of voting for the two headed monster (Obamney), I'll be abstaining on November 6th. |
This is the only time, once every 4 years you get to pick a candidate for your country. I stand by and say, I don't like either, and it's too diffuicult for me to get involved, and really REALLY sort through what the hell is going on here, I'll just sit back and say "none of the above" like in the movie "Brusters Millions". It was a joke in the movie, and it's a joke in real life (not to vote that is). Take the next 12 days or so, to really get educated about what is going on, then make an informed decision. I'd say vote for Obama, but worse than not voting for Obama, is not voting at all. Watch MSNBC in the evenings. Watch Chris Matthews "Hardball", or The Rachel Maddow SHow, or in the mornings "Up with Chris Hayes" or in the evenings "The Ed SHow". All these programs are excellent sources of information about the candidates and why you should be voting for someone.
Whatever you do don't watch Fox news or anything on any Fox channels. It is complete propaganda for the republican party. If you don't like MSNBC watch ABC, or regular NBC, or CBS. Just pick some news channel that you like and get informed. I say not fox, as they purposely bias their news towards the republicans. And what you need right now are facts, truth, not lies, or distortions of the truth.
Please promise me you will vote, for the candidate your believe is the right choice. You can't pick neither, as one of them will be picked, it's just a matter of will you be counted among the people who tried, or the people who did nothing.
