Lesser of 2 Evils


    In case you haven't noticed yet, this blog's primary purpose is to encourage an informed public (hopefully) to the end result of getting this Country back to what it was meant to be! All too often these days we hear some variation of the phrase: 'really it's just a question of the lesser of two evils'; or 'voting independent is just the same as a vote for [insert current 'other guy' here]'. Really? Is that really what we have come to? Giving in to the 'lesser of 2 evils'? If it's evil, why would we want it?
    When neither candidate is someone that you really care to support, there is almost always a third choice! I know what you are thinking, 'but there's no chance that an independent can actually win!' Well, if the independent is actually a decent choice, why wouldn't you vote for them? What happened to 'may the best man win'? Why are we so content to settle? Vote your conscious, and let the chips fall where they may. Who knows, if we all vote for someone we truly believe in, that independent may actually have a chance! Even if they don't win, a large enough chunk of people voting independent will at the least shake up the system a little bit and maybe just grab some attention and remind whoever it is that does get elected that they can and will be voted out if they don't pay attention to their boss!
    How much do you actually know about the candidates? Are you planning to vote for one simply because you don't like the other? Are you sure that what you are getting with that vote is actually any better or even any different? Now, don't get me wrong here; I believe that our current administration is purposely and intentionally doing everything within its power (and many things that it does not have the power to do) to destroy this nation! However, I'm afraid that simply voting Obama out of office is simply not enough! Especially not if we replace him with someone who really isn't very different! Just because someone SAYS that they are the answer or opposite of the problem, but can we believe what they say? So, what happens when we get Obama out and we use Romney to replace him? Are you just going to go back to sleep believing that somehow everything is now better? We need to WAKE UP AMERICA!!!! Do some research into who you are planning on voting for and figure out exactly what they DO stand for, and what exactly they plan to do once in office! Romney may be the 'lesser of 2 evils', however he is NOT what this country needs! In fact, if getting him elected is simply going to put the slowly waking sleeping giant back to sleep, then I'd almost rather Obama get re-elected! We, as Americans need to get MAD! Get LOUD! Stand up and VOTE! But don't throw your vote away, cast your vote for someone you actually believe in! Voting independent is NOT throwing your vote away. It is NOT 'voting for the other guy'. It IS a vote AGAINST BOTH of the evils!
    I believe that what we truly need to focus on this election is unseating as many 'incumbents' as possible; then send all the new guys letters stating that the only reason that they got the job was because we were SICK and TIRED of the 'Entrenched BS Politics' of their predecessors and that we REQUIRE of them to listen to their constituents (their BOSSES ie: US!) and that if they don't start seriously working on getting this country back on track, back to the basics of the constitution, and back to being a LIMITED Government that STAYS OUT of our personal and business daily lives that WE WILL REPLACE THEM the next go around and continue to do so until WE have OUR government and Country back!
