Who are you to tell me how to best utilize my vote? You may try to influence it,....

Of course I am. Are politicians, operatives, activists, and the media the only ones allowed to influence your vote? I don't think so. You are not an island unto yourself — your vote or non-vote affects the whole country.

The people who get elected and their party and their appointees are the ones will govern me, my family, my friends and neighbors, our government and our country; and if your vote or non-vote helps a Clintonesque person get that power, than it's everybody's business, mine included. You really can't fathom that, can you?

Did you even read my entire post? I never claimed to be an island to myself. In fact, I encouraged all responsible citizens who love freedom to try to influence the votes of others. The point is that if both the Democrat and Republican are Clintonesque, then I cannot bring myself to vote for either of them, and that in fact a Clintonesque Republican is far more dangerous than a Clintonesqe Democrat. Lacking an alternative constitutionalist or declarationist, I may vote for the Republican, but not always, depending on the circumstance. Who is electable is not my concern. Who deserves my vote is my concern.
