Don't even get me started on Ron Paul "rlol" , anyone who votes for him will accomplish nothing more than helping the Dems win the presidency just like everyone did when they voted for Ross Perot and handed Bubba Clintoon the presidency as a result.
Staying home on election day is the WORST possible choice. Voting for Ron Paul may be an exercise in futility but it still ranks above not voting. I will vote for the best canidate (lesser of evils in this case) who has a chance to win. I will bring a "barf bag" to the polls with me when I cast my vote.

Perhaps he does NEED to be in the white house, but the the more important point here is CAN he win an election to defeat the liberals? The reality check says most likely a big fat NO.

More importantly is can you trust McCain more than Hussein Obama or Hillary Clinton?
Do you want to give either of them the opportunity to get the keys to your gun safe?
Again the answer is NO,

I will vote to defeat the democratic ticket, not because I have 100% faith that the republicains will do everything I would like, but because I know the democrats will do what I don't like 100% of the time.

I trust McCain less then Obama. Obama is an elitist socialist, but at least he admits it in his views. McCain can't stab us in back fast enough.

None of the politicians admit fully their intentions. The recent foot-in-mouth episode from Mad Max Waters is a good example.

If the current ceop of candidates were completely hbonest they would never be elected.

Actually, it's a Morton's Fork. A Hobson's choice is equivalent to "my way or the highway"; a Morton's Fork is "would you rather be hung or shot?".
Main Entry: Hob·son's choice
Pronunciation: \ˈhäb-sənz-\
Function: noun
Etymology: Thomas Hobson died 1631 English liveryman, who required every customer to take the horse nearest the door
Date: 1649
1 : an apparently free choice when there is no real alternative
2 : the necessity of accepting one of two or more equally objectionable alternatives

Thanks, but in my opinion there is no real alternative to McCain in the upcoming election. :biggrinjester:

Did anybody see Sean Hannity's interview of McCain last night?

Voting for McCain is better than voting for Barr but it's best to vote for Obama.

The title of this thread gives me a bit of of a chuckle. I don't think most of us trust any politician, even the ones we like.

Obama is staunchly anti-gun and he supports a federal law banning concealed carry throughout the country. It's interesting that someone who wants to be able to lawfully carry a handgun for self-defense would support Obama.

+1 on the barf bag. :cheers2:

As disgusted as I am with our whole electoral system I agree that staying home isn't the answer. I will indeed go vote for McCain but I won't like it one bit.

Why on God's green earth would I vote for the one guy who wants to take away my constitutional rights? I don't know if you have tuned out during the past 6 months or are just some anti who decided to flame this board but Mr Obama is a staunch anti-gun candidate who wants to make concealed carry illegal at the federal level. As far as Im concerned the only thing Obama is good for is wasting oxygen. :banghead: :nono:
