The best reasons for voting for McCain/Palin that I have heard came from the very liberal "Boston Legal" television program and the character played by ex-Star Trek Caption action, Bill Shatner.
Shatner's character, Denny Crane, in a conversation with his pal on the balcony said that the 2 main reasons he was voting for McCain was:
Salmon: McCain/Palin with save the salmon runs in Canada and Alaska
Women: He says women are easier to get in a Republican administration
When you can laugh about the more qualified team losing to a much more unqualified team due to the voting patterns of the American electorate, one has reached the pinnacle of "apoliticalness" (my word).
I look forward to watching TV and movies today, and simply forgetting about the election today now that I have voted this morning.
Now, you may wonder who I voted for given my complete lack of support for either political team?
Well, I exercised my right to vote and I voted for MYSELF on a write-in ballot. Now trust me, using a write-in ballot in my state (a very blue, blue state) is very tough to do.
First you have to be at least 5'8" to even reach the write-in area of the ballot machine. Next you have to know that you can even do write-ins given the fact that everyone in the voting area had no idea how to do it. I had to show the election workers how to do a write-in ballot.
Second, you have decide that doing a write-in for President is NOT wasting your vote as everyone will tell you when you even consider doing such a thing. It is NOT wasting your vote since every vote regardless of whom it is cast is important.
Third, doing a write-in ballot in my state brings all kinds of sneers and confusion from both the election workers and those that know you did a write-in.
So, there it is, I will get 1 vote for President, Congress, and State Senator. I do this when there is no one worth voting for and I have a complete lack of interest in the slate offered. It is not wasted, it is also not voting for the lessor of 2 evils.
Congratulations, BHO on being the first totally unqualified President of the USA. I am not diminishing your accomplishment of running a successful campaign, just simply you have no qualifications, in my humble opinion, that recommend you for that office.
Now once you take office and everything turns to shit, please be man enough to take responsibility and not try and pawn it off on previous administrations or events outside of your control. Winning means you have to be accountable; that's part of the spoils that go with the victory.
