I know this commentary will probably rub some Freepers the wrong way.
After all, it's a comment from a convicted felon.
And it's basically a "don't throw your vote away plea".
But I thought that I should post it, considering that this is the eve of an important election.
And to be fair, all "bolding" and "underlining" has been done by VOA.

It's pretty much what I've been trying to tell freepers who refuse to vote for Tim Hutchinson because he got a divorce. Yet they must know that his opponent is far, far worse.
If you can find a better candidate and get him on the ballot, good for you. If not, vote for the best of the ones that are available.
There are sins of commission and sins of omission. Not to vote when you can make a difference is a sin of omission.
Two of the people I respect most, Chuck Colson and Fr. Frank Pavone, agree on this one.

Maybe they are not voting because the distinctions between the two evils are becoming ever less. I'm voting Republican tomorrow, because I want to see what will happen with a Republican President, house and senate. I'm expecting alot out of them if that is the case.
And another reason is my desire to have the right situation in place for Tancredo when he landslides to the presidency in 2004 on a write in campaign.

So, if Stalin and Hitler were running for office and Stalin was less evil, one should vote for Stalin?
Colson's mentality really worked well with Christie Todd Whitman in New Jersey, didn't it?
It's no wonder our side keeps losing when people like Chuck Colson support this level of compromise.

But how long will you have to wait to find a candidate whose position is identical to yours on every issue? By that standard, would you even be able to vote for your spouse? Irrefutable logic bump.
Gotta love Colson.
