Not doing extensive research on each candidate on the ballot before voting makes you part of the problem.
I have decided to stop voting in any election. It is the only form of non-violent protest that I have time for. We can no longer trust anything any candidate says. I have heard many arguments as to how it is my duty as a citizen to cast a vote but I see those people as the ones who are not yet awake. I no longer agree with the direction we have taken so I am not going to aid in the navigation. Let the car crash so we can choose a new path. Choosing between a douche and a turd is not a choice I am willing to make anymore.
I think Santa Claus will be getting my vote this year.
Ultimately, yes. Were either McCain or Romney my first (or second, third, fourth...) choice? Of course not.
Does that justify not participating, and letting an outright socialist who wants to fundamentally reform America to be elected (or re-elected)? Of course not.
He gave me a bb gun for Christmas in 1974, I wonder if he's still pro-gun these days.

That's what happens when you try to appropriate British terms.
Why not just stick with "whine"?
And the "right" will succeed by.....?
Agreed
The best thing that can happen if the republicans can win the senate this year is to act as an additional check valve to Obama's agenda. To think anything to advance gun rights, reduce the federal deficit/debt, repeal Obamacare, or anything like that with the GOP in control of 2/3 of the equation is laughable and maybe more people are reaching that conclusion.
