I've said that our ballots should have a choice that says, "None of the above."
Because none of the candidates listed on the ballot is acceptable to them, many will not vote at all.
We will be choosing a person to be our President for the next 4 years. The President by himself/herself is not very powerful as far as enacting new laws. He/she can only approve or reject what is presented by Congress. The President does set national and international policy and can request Congress to pass laws and appropriate funds in accordance with those policies, but cannot force anything.
One thing the President can do is appoint judges to federal courts and to the Supreme Court. These judges by their decisions have quite an effect on us. In my opinion, that is one of the most important considerations in voting for a person as President. How will he/she affect us by the judges that he/she appoints? For that reason I think it is important that we all vote to affect the outcome of the election. To vote for someone who has no possible chance of winning is, in my opinion, a wasted vote. Whether we like it or not we are locked into a two-party system.
John McCain may not be everything I want in a President but he is, in my opinion, superior to whomever the Democratic Party may offer. John McCain may be a little more liberal than what I want but he is far more conservative than the Democrat alternative.
My Dad was a Democrat. My father-in-law was a Democrat. I was always told that the Democrats were for the working people or the common people. In my opinion, the Democratic party has lost touch with reality and is controlled by Socialists, Unions, Greenies, Hollywood, Gays, Abortionists, Feminists, etc. and does not reflect the values of decent God-fearing Americans.
I even saw a poll somewhere that asked if a Christian could support the Democratic party. I don't know, but I have to wonder how a Christian could, in good conscience, support the Democratic agenda and platform.
