I vote for whoever I feel is the best candidate, even if that candidate has no chance of winning. I'd rather show my support for an "also ran" than support the traiters that the party establishment keeps trying to give us.
I'm sick and tired of the Republican Party thinking that I'm dumb enough to just vote for whoever they tell me to. They seem to think that I don't remember history, and will ignore someone's established voting record just based on their recomendation.
Remember when they tried to portray McCain as our knight in shining armor, and the savior of the conservative party? I remember.
Remember when they did the same for Romney? I remember.
The Republican Party has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory more times than I can count, so much so that I truly think it's deliberate, and they continue to try to pull the wool over my eyes. Meanwhile, they actively oppose any good candidates we might have, while giving us moderates and RINOs instead. Worst of all, they keep trying to convince me it's for my own good.
How many times have you heard someone say they would have rather voted for a 3rd party, but didn't want to throw their vote away? If everyone who felt that way had the courage to vote for the better candidate, rather than support the one they think has the best chance of winning, I think the numbers would be surprising. More importantly, it would send a message to the Republican Party that we will no longer blindly accept their status quo.
I'm to the point where I'd rather see everything burnt to the ground rather than continue supporting these wolves in sheep's clothing. At least then we would have a chance to rebuild, whereas now we only continue to vote ourselves into bondage.
Ceasefire Oregon thanks you!
