When Barack Obama is voted in by the slimmest of margins (if he wins this election it will be by a sliver), and your vote could have made the difference between living in a battered but intact United States of America or the extinct USA, how much of a shower will you need then?  How will you explain this poor decision to your children?  I respect where you are coming from, and I'm all for standing on one's principles, but sometimes our principles conflict and we must choose the decision that best represents our beliefs as a whole.  A vote for anyone other than John McCain is a vote against the foundations of Liberty because it is a vote FOR Barack Obama and that, my friend, makes me want to get up and take a shower &lt;I&gt;right now&lt;/I&gt;.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2997252015936727750/9204913312055042422/comments/default/1745059338986871354'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2997252015936727750/9204913312055042422/comments/default/1745059338986871354'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oldageandtreachery.blogspot.com/2008/10/hanging-around-message-to-my.html?showComment=1223320500000#c1745059338986871354' title=''/><author><name>oldageandtreachery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08209529055449964594</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07473017894736400006'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://oldageandtreachery.blogspot.com/2008/10/hanging-around-message-to-my.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2997252015936727750.post-9204913312055042422' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2997252015936727750/posts/default/9204913312055042422' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2997252015936727750.post-2572882938590210418</id><published>2008-10-06T09:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-06T09:49:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>My conscience won't allow me to vote for John McCa...</title><content type='html'>My conscience won't allow me to vote for John McCain's bailout (or McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, McCain-Clinton, etc.)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Public support for John McCain is public support of his policy proposals.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I'll be casting my vote for Bob Barr and won't feel the need to take a shower afterwards.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2997252015936727750/9204913312055042422/comments/default/2572882938590210418'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2997252015936727750/9204913312055042422/comments/default/2572882938590210418'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oldageandtreachery.blogspot.com/2008/10/hanging-around-message-to-my.html?showComment=1223311740000#c2572882938590210418' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://oldageandtreachery.blogspot.com/2008/10/hanging-around-message-to-my.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2997252015936727750.post-9204913312055042422' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2997252015936727750/posts/default/9204913312055042422' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
