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!

Mis informed populus spreads 'Campaign of Lies'

Excerpt: "As the presidential campaign moves into a final, heated stretch, untrue accusations and rumors have started to swirl at a pace so quick that they become regarded as fact before they can be disproved..."

I wanted to share with you an article that I read on MSNBC this morning. (Article Here)

As you all know, I try to verify all of my 'Facts' before I present them here and I also try to distinguish between what is fact and what is my (or someone elses) opinion! With the vast amount of information being promulgated by both sides and their supporters it is virtually impossible for me, a 1 man team, to wholly verify everything that I see, and I know that I too have put forth some half truths and probably some flat mis-truths, and for those, I apologise, and if you see one, PLEASE bring it to my attention, with reference of course.

This article that I read this morning brings to light what we have all known for years. That politicians will be politicians and say whatever it takes to get elected! And that goes for ALL SIDES! I don't care if you are a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, or some other obscure party. We are ALL 'Citizens' and thus we should all try to do our best to make an informed decision and VOTE based on that information! I have a list of 'Facts' to research about these candidates so long that it would take me until the next election to prove/discredit them all! And some of them are pretty stinging! I often will chose to put something out before it is completely verified dou to the relatively harmless magnatude of the claim should it be wrong. I also will often mark those items as not-quite-verified. Please, PLEASE, I implore you to do your own research! If you vote without the proper information you are dooming yourself to becoming a subject instead of a citizen. If you chose not to vote, you are already doomed! The only way that we can ensure the way of life that we have become accustomed to and feel that we deserve is to arm ourselve with knowledge and demand that our government listen to US! We are the Nation! We are the controllers of this government! Make sure that your voice is heard!

The bottom line is: VOTE!
