    @ Palantir

    It is extremely silly of you to not vote for someone because you do not like others who will vote for that person. i've had to point this out to too many people lately and I'm getting tired of it. It is not Obama's fault that some who support him have ideas or speak in ways that Obama does not embody. Whomever you vote for, Obama, McCain, a Green, whomever, it is guaranteed some maniac you do not agree with will also be voting that way. It is guaranteed. Thusly to not vote for someone because someone else you don't like will be voting for them means you cannot vote for anyone. Basically what I'm saying is that you've not thought about what Democracy truly entails what-so-ever. You do not understand that there is no 100% agreement, there is only the best of all possible options.
