So are you saying that I'm supposed to throw my desire to have a true Consitutional-based and bound nation through our national leadership in the trash for the sake of voting for something or someone I don't believe in?

Unlike a lot of voters, I vote with my heart, not with my head. Meaning, I don't analyze any extraneous factors other than which candidate's stance on the issues are most compatible with mine.



Because voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. That's like asking why don't you eat the food containing 50% arsenic over the food containing 100% cyanide. Poison is poison.

And I'll be slammed if I allow my vote to further the cause of tyranny and fascism in the United States, because I will be responsible in aiding and abetting the enemies of liberty. Consequently, Constitutionally speaking, that makes me an enemy of the state by default.



Show me where Ron Paul (not some random ghostwriter) actually said this.

I don't think that Ron Paul is a candidate who really is all that interested in the Constitution. I have noticed that he tries to hide his racism by using the Constitution as the basis for his ideas.

The man opposes federal hate crime laws because he feels they infringe on someone having "thoughts." How much sense does that make? Hate crime laws don't make it a crime to have "thoughts." Hate crime laws make it a crime to ACT on those thoughts.

He also opposed making MLK day a holiday. That was not something written by a ghostwriter.

He is against affirmative action as well. Not a good thing because too many people fail to realize that there is a reason affirmative action was needed in the first place.

He opposed the celebration of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, being the only one in Congress to do so. Again, that was not something written by a ghostwriter. It came from his own mouth, along with the words "forced integration." In this instance he once again tried to hide his racism by saying that he was against celebrating it because it forced integration and essentially did not allow people to make decisions for themselves. It could be argued that the man is terribly naive, but the fact remains that he opposed celebrating it. Why would he do so?

And please explain how Obama supports tyranny and fascism? That's a new one on me. I don't think the majority of Americans would support him if that really happened to be the case.

Finally, while you criticize voters who use their head instead of their heart, many times going by your heart will get you in trouble. It is far more wise to really use your head in making such a decision. That means you are actually thinking about the issues and what the candidates are saying.
