It's called a cop-out in these parts
“It’s called a cop-out in these parts.”
Call it what you will but sorry there weren’t many othr choices.
Cop out? How many on FR held their noses when they voted for McCain? How many vomited in their mouth when they voted for McCain? I bet 95% of the people that post on FR ‘Copped-Out’ then.
Hence the discussion now. We don’t want to be required to make that choice again. We want to vote for someone.
If I want to vote for someone I agree with 100% there is only one person. Myself. I would write in my own name every election. That would be silly and stupid.
I would not have voted for McCain without Palin. If we all would have not copped out and voter for McCain, Palin would have gotten about 25% of the vote.
What do you think her chances would have been then? Only an idiot thinks that would have helped her chances in 2012. The vote for McCain in 2008 was really a vote for Palin, or someone like her, in 2012.
