    If you are voting for either of the two major party candidates for President of the United States because you feel that your choice is the lesser of two evils, perhaps you should just not vote at all.

    Let those of us who actually believe in who/what we are voting for decide the outcome.

    Why would you vote for evil anyway?

    This goes for those who are 'holding their nose' to vote as well. Why would you vote for someone/something who stinks?

    You are just backwardly voting for obama. Why would you vote for the worse president in the history of this nation?

    Lincoln was far worse. This is just drama to scare people back into two party voting. We have people calling Romney a right wing con and people saying Obama is the worst. The fact is that Congress has given us this economy.

    I'd say blame Obama for drones, spying, etc, but you guys wanna vote in a guy who agree with that.

    Contrary to popular belief, a vote for Gary Johnson does not count for Barrack Obama. It does however count as a vote for Gary Johnson.

    I know...shocking, right?

    The one based off of Romneycare that I don't love? The one they intend to repeal and REPLACE allegedly? The one that Republican appointed, Republican affiliated Chief Justice Roberts approved?

    That one?

    How has it hurt your family?

    How has the largest tax increase in american history hurt business owners? It hasnt been implimented yet. And Romney is a politician and governor in a liberal state when that healthcare law was passed. And since i am a constitutionalist. And you are sonething other than............


    I support states rights and i commend romney for being able to lean across the aisle to get (*)(*)(*)(*) done.

    In a republican house and (god willing) senate he wont have to lean across the aisle for liberals anymore.

    By the way you are exposing yourself, you are actually defending obamacare alleging that it is not a damaging piece of legislation.

    No wonder you are backwardly voting for obama.

    My out of pocket expenses have already increased because of it. My deductible has increased by 200 dollars and my yearly rate has gone up 600 dollars for the exact same benefits.

    I will be voting for the lesser of two evils and I WILL be voting. Why should I leave the future of this country in the hands of self-satisified partisans who think they know it all and want a good vs evil scenario that appeals to the little kid in all of us. Why don't those blinkered Party members just back off and let the true adults make the decision?

    I agree and have said the same thing for years. The "lesser of two evils" is nothing more than the two parties coming together to keep 3rd parties out. It works well.

    Bill Clinton won the Presidency in 1992 with only 43% of the votes due to Ross Perot siphoning off 18.9% of the votes for himself.

    If you can justify voting for the greater of two goods.....then whats wrong with the lesser of two evils?

    Vote for who you want in the primary.....Vote for something better in the General.

    You need me explain to you why voting for good is good and voting for evil is bad? If you continue to vote for the lesser of two evils then the party will just continue to ignore your voice.

    If you can explain whats wrong with voting for something better? Or how voting for 49% evil is so much better than 51% evil....

    The Tea Party runs the Republican Party.....and the Republican Party has improved.....achieved by voting for something better....
