[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 207782, member: 4191"] Until someone can tell me what good it did them to vote for Ross Perot, then I won't consider voting for anyone other than McCain or Obama. I've heard the argument that you need to stick to your convictions and vote your principles so many times over the years when people are trying to drum up support for a lame third party candidate that ends up with less than 10% of the vote. In my mind it's futile thinking to the point of being laughable. If you're going to try to throw the vote to one of the front runners by voting for a person without a chance in hell of winning, wouldn't it be equally effective to throw the vote to one of the front runners by voting directly for them? We're stuck with one of the front runners for four years, like it or not. Voting for a sure loser under the hoax that we're setting ourselves up to be in a better position 4 or 8 years down the road in one of the future presidential elections? You might as well slit your throat and slowly bleed out for 4-8 years because the next 4-8 years are lost and can never be recovered. The odds you can stage a successful strategy and reap the rewards 4-8 years later by placing a vote for a certain loser candidate now are about the same as hoping to kill a bull elk at 1000 yards with a shotgun bead on your rifle barrel. We've got to work with the candidates that we've got now. Hillary Clinton is the only one that doesn't realize that it's either Obama or McCain. [/QUOTE]
