You can roll over in surrender and vote for a stone-cold demonstrated liberal Democrat registered as a Republican and wish that he won't act like what he is ...
... or you can vote for a plurality and gamble on the fact that the last two times a liberal Democrat was elected president on a plurality, he was steamrolled by the Republican Revolution and then impeached -- in other words, pluralities have a history of FAVORING conservatives. We know that here in Realville.
Reality is that you folks in Wishville lack the courage to fight Obama and believe Republicans in Congress would lack it, too -- yet you wish what that same Congress will "hold Romney's feet to the fire." That isn't Realville, that's Wishville.
Reality is that not voting or voting for a third party candidate will help the Obomination get re-elected.
That sentiment lacks any address in Realville. In Realville, any and every third party vote is entirely neutral withe regard to favoring either major party candidate; it is MATH. Any and every third party vote counts toward reducing the popular vote count of whichever candidate wins. THAT IS MATH. But because you live in Wishville, where wishes are like fishes and you can have them fried, you can demonize those who refuse to vote the way you want them to by pretending that "a third party vote helps Obama get re-elected."
Over here in Realville, we would suggest you take up with HW Bush your idea that third party votes favor the incumbent when he's come to be loathed by the folks who voted for him previously, as Obama is becoming loathed as of now.
Over here in Realville, we remember all the boogie-man threats of executive orders and civil war and "American can't survive" etc. that have been levied at conservative Republicans since the days of Bill Clinton as a means to bully them into voting for liberal Republicans.
Meanwhile, in Wishville, where you and Rush live, you actually buy into the imaginary concept of "voting against Obama!" Maybe you can vote "against" in Wishville ...
... but here in Realville, we understand that indeed, on any ballot ever, you are only given the choice of voting FOR something.
I'm voting for a plurality because I live in Realville. You're voting for a stone-cold liberal Republican because you're in Wishville.
As Rush would say, "It is what it is."
Well put!
Nicely put!
