Vote Smart – Vote Your Conscience 2008
Vote 2008
I’m going to take a position that may be quite unpopular among the regular readership here. No jokes, just a final voting day rant to vent before we get to the business of today’s 2008 election coverage.
There is no official editorial position of Radioactive Liberty Conservative Humor & Satire, no lines in the sand being drawn. We’re all adults here and there is room to disagree and yet still respect each other as friends and fellow conservatives.
Who Should I Vote For?
I’ve consulted the alternative voter’s guide, and find nothing appealing. Nor do either of the mainstream candidates appeal to me.
I will not be voting for McCain. I will not be swayed by all the hyperventilating about just how awful Obama is. I see the parallels to the subretarded moonbats with their BusHitler stupidity. It’s there. Bush=Hitler and now Obama=Hitler. Bush has shredded the Constitution and now we’re hearing about how Obama hates the Constitution. Bush is stupid, Obama is stupid. Okay, I actually agree with the last one.
But I won’t be voting out of fear. I’m going to throw away my vote, whatever that means. I think Diesel actually summed that one up accurately. How is it throwing your vote away, unless the logic is that your vote is a throwaway vote if it is not cast for the winner, in which case, you need to vote for the person you think is going to win.
No. To me the only vote that is thrown away is one cast for a candidate that you only support because he is not as much of a steaming, putrid pile of excrement as the other guy. McCain has a long and storied track record of pissing on the backs of conservatives and telling them it’s raining. Am I the only one that remembers the gang of 14? My memory fails me. Who led that? I think it was McSomething. McAllister? McGregor? McCain.
How about the brilliant free speech suppressing McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform? What about all the times McCain has gone out of his way to tow the Democrat party line, in the hopes of being popular amongst the Mainstream Media. The very same media that has turned it’s back on him now that he’s running against the chosen one.
I cannot in good conscience vote for a man that I have such complete and utter contempt for. I have a visceral, seething disdain for everything this man has done in his career to undermine my ideals. For everything this disgusting pig politician has done to bury conservatism at every opportunity.
When I go in the voting booth, I’m not going to let that all be water under the bridge, based on the idea that his opponent is so supremely worse for the country. Both men have proclaimed a desire to take the country in a “new direction.” I don’t know what that sounds like to you, but to me it sounds like they both plan to drive us over the cliff of big government socialism.
Obama Vs McCain Issues Comparison
Say goodbye to and delusions of a balanced budget. The Democrats and the Republicans have no significant differences between them. All their supposed differences are nothing more than contrived controversy to dupe American citizens into thinking there is a difference at all. When it comes down to it, we don’t have a choice if we are going to limit our choices to John Jackson, who wants amnesty for illegal invaders, regulations on phony global warming scams, and nationalized health care, and Jack Johnson, who wants nationalized health care, regulations on phony global warming scams, and amnesty for illegal invaders. That’s our choice? No thanks.
If you keep making the choice election after election to vote for the pile of sh*t that is minimally less pungent than the other pile of sh*t, you find yourself holding your nose, attempting to suppress the gag reflex, while you shove an Everest sized mountain of sh*t sandwich down your throat. All the while telling yourself it’s not as bad as the other sh*t sandwich because it smells mildly less offensive. You’re still eating a sh*t sandwich either way, and you’ve somehow become convinced that this is a good thing.
In the end there are no delicious Bacon, bacon, bacon, and bacon™ sandwiches left to eat. Only acres and acres of sh*t. And we all inspect each turd, trying to justify that one is slightly less repulsive than the other.
No. I just can’t do it. I cannot be a party to the continual downward spiral of this nation, and our ritual of perpetually selecting the mediocre candidate. That is why I will not be voting for McCain on this election day, November 4, 2008.
I believe in the American people. I believe in the American spirit. The country will make it through. Don’t throw away your vote today. Vote your conscience, even if it is not the popular thing to do.

It has officially begun..not only has Fiar cast the first stone, but Dixville Notch NH has thrown their lot in with the Messiah in a 15-6 vote.
There is no truth to the rumor that Mickey Mouse, Terrell Owens, Travis Bickle, The Yeti, Ron Jeremy, Don Johnson, Chupacabra, one of the Ice Road Truckers, and Slim Goodbody were nine of the registered voters.

I don’t know if its a record but there are seven (if I counted correctly) mentions of sh*t or it’s equivalent in this post. For any of those out there who thought FIAR didn’t know s#it. You were sadly mistaken. This is a man who recognizes s#it when he see it and has the good sense to avoid stepping in it.
I fought with this issue for months and I’ll have to admit, I succumbed to voting for the Little Satan. I never even considered the Great Satan.
This decision makes me feel like I punched a baby in the face, justifying that it was better than letting a pit bull tear it to pieces.

FIAR- I understand and am sympathetic to your reasoning. However, living in California, I have seen first hand how liberal politicians who wield unchecked power will destroy a state. While the Republicans at the federal level completely s#it the bed when they had the chance, I believe a Democrat take over of the legislative, executive, and shortly, the judicial will have devastating consequences for this country. I, too, used to believe that it didn’t matter which party held power, the country would make it through. I even believed that up until the last six months. My thinking has changed and I think we are entering dangerous times.
I respect your decision, but I too must vote my conscience. I see no alternatives on the ballot that I can vote for with a clear conscience. It would be refreshing to not have to make a choice between the lessor of two evils.

richj- I grew-up in California. I remember the Golden Days of Conservative Orange County, the wonderful era of Gov Ronald Reagan, the weird times of Gov Jerry (spaceship earth) Brown, the slide toward socialism and inclusion of all people into the Nanny State, regardless of legal status.
I respect the choices of those who vote. But I can’t help feeling that (at least for me)a wrong thing done for a right reason still isn’t wrong.

Rich, as long as there are two choices, by definition, one will be worse than the other. There will always be a way to justify the fact that one is worse than the other.
Where do you draw the line? I have drawn the line at McCain. Perhaps you don’t draw the line until you are literally choosing between Stalin and Hitler, but I stop at McCain. I won’t support mediocrity. I agree with you on the effects of big government liberalism, and that is exactly why I cannot support McCain.
I also believe that I make my own destiny. I don’t blame others for my station in life. That is for pansy Liberals. My success and happiness is independent of who is President. That is the conservative way.
To do what it takes. To brush yourself off and try again. To learn from failure, rather than to be intimidated by it. To band together and do what it takes to improve yourself. That is what I believe in, and no politician can take that away.
I won’t support a candidate that has no difference of any substance from his opponent.

I agree wholeheartedly. I succeed or fail by my own hand, not by who sits in the White House. I will find a way regardless. Eventhough I believe I can salvage more policy agreements with McCain than I can Obama, it goes beyond that. I believe McCain, even when he is disasterously wrong, is honest about his views. That I can respect. Obama is not.
That said, I still have very low expectations for a McCain administration. I’m under no illusions here.
