I don't buy the lesser of two evils argument for just that reason, though I didn't say it either ;-). Choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil. <BR/><BR/>Deb,<BR/>I came out from under my rock long enough this week to hear that Bush is trying to blame the democrats for not pushing forth his desire to drill for oil...even I know that rings hollow. <BR/><BR/>Lady Lydia,<BR/>Thank you for your comments, as you see by my later post, you got me thinking! That was the whole point of this, so I thank you! Love your blog by the way.<BR/><BR/>Thank you all for helping on my quest for knowledge and my desire to use my vote appropriately, even if it is a 'no vote' which it may come to.<BR/><BR/>God bless,<BR/>~LilyLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06936698520817156276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252185812109535946.post-26968256301766824792008-06-21T00:14:00.000-04:002008-06-21T00:14:00.000-04:00Lily,I feel you; I haven't voted either for the sa...Lily,<BR/><BR/>I feel you; I haven't voted either for the same reasons. You mean to tell me that, in a country of 280 million people that McCain & Obama are the BEST we can do for presidential candidates?! As Warner Wolfe would say, COME ON!!!<BR/><BR/>You know what's interesting is that BBC shortwave had an INTERESTING program on our duopoly, our two party system. You know what they said in the program? That there is NOT a meaningful difference between the Republicans & Democrats! Furthermore, there couldn't be, since both parties would try to appeal to as many people as possible; to do that, they said, both parties would have to meet in the middle. 'Nuff said...<BR/><BR/>I've heard many say that, when they vote, that they'll choose the LESSER of two evils. Now that right there says it all! But, what never gets mentioned is this: by choosing the lesser of two evils, you're still CHOOSING evil...<BR/><BR/>MarkyMarkMarkyMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252185812109535946.post-50769321868406057762008-06-12T11:22:00.000-04:002008-06-12T11:22:00.000-04:00China is drilling for oil off of our coast and Rus...China is drilling for oil off of our coast and Russia is exploring for oil. Our country is doing neither. Its very frustrating. I say drill in Anwar, the Dakotas and Montana. Those are all places that have been tagged as being oil rich. It might not help in the short term but it will eventually help us. <BR/><BR/>McCain wants to drill off shore. Great!! Now if we can convince him to drill in those other areas and to ignore the enviromentalists extremists.debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520916893372615911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252185812109535946.post-72835971551105478782008-06-09T10:05:00.000-04:002008-06-09T10:05:00.000-04:00You are so right.

They sure don't stir up any passion for righteousness or patriotism. They are like lukewarm water. You expect a cold drink and someone gives you something lukewarm. Makes you want to spit. These candidates are so boring. There are other people running though and you can write them in. Alan Keyes is still running, as well as someone in the Constitutional Party, and Ron Paul. We need a second party. The two parties we have are just the same, so we need a two party system. We were sure fooled when we were made to think we had two parties...and they pretend to be rivals...but inside they are the same. I hope the Lord turns the people's hearts away from this one party and causes them to vote for a righteous leader, even if it is a write in. Even if you don't want to vote for these people, at least write something in, and it will give them a message. Write your son's name or your son in law or someone good. Just write in something and send a message that the choices they dumped on us are not acceptable.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.com
