Seemingly every four years we hear about people wasting their votes. Right now this very issue is raising it’s ugly head among many of my fellow bloggers. Mostly what is being said is that a vote for anyone other than McCain is a vote for Obama.
Folks this is not algebra, and there isn’t any way that you can turn negatives into positives. This is a matter of honesty, as well as honor. Voting is a duty in my opinion. If you don’t vote, then you give up any right to complain about what the government is doing whatsoever. Some people understand that, and others? Well, it is just beyond their ken apparently.
Voting is an expression of our Constitution and what this nation actually stands for and is about. I don’t care on this level who you vote for as long as you vote your conscience. Failing to do so makes you a lemming, not a citizen. Voting your conscience is being what you are, an American.It is not wasting a vote contrary to what political pundits will say.
When John McCain passes more laws abridging your right to voice your opinion don’t say that I didn’t warn you. When Barack Obama takes away your right to effectively defend yourself, don’t say that I didn’t warn you. When you don’t vote your conscience and get something that you didn’t bargain for? Don’t say that I didn’t warn you.
