Reply #66: So predictable

Preaching to the choir 101.

You won't mind if I don't take your advice now, will you?

Oh, and there is no such thing as a purist. There are folks who vote for the candidate who best represents their views, but I would call them informed voters.

On the other hand, there are those who vote for anything with a (D) or an (R) next to their names in the belief that it is very important that their side wins, and who will conveniently "overlook" positions that they would otherwise jump all over in a candidate not on their "team."

That would almost seem like lockstep voting, wouldn't it?

Kind of like what everyone says the "bad' guys do.

Interesting, isn't it?

P.S. "I don't care who your favorite Democratic candidate is. If you sit this election out and McCain wins, you will have helped elect him, and you will owe an apology to everyone hurt by McCain's election" is boilerplate mainstream bullshit. If ANYONE hurts the nation it is folks who vote not on principle, but on party.
