I'll be voting for McCain this November. As a registered Independent, he best represents my views, as out of all the candidates, he's the one whose the most likely to be able to work with both parties. I also see him being the one to best protect the constitution; I see both Clinton and Obama rolling right over the constitution.
Initially, I supported Ron Paul, but unfortunately, he's no longer in it.

He still might go independent. I'm waiting for the credits to roll on this one. If push comes to shove, though, I'll be voting McCain as well. When push comes to shove, the dems just rate too highly on my 'goddamnit' meter.

I liked Ron Paul's ideas. I really did.

McCain. Really, I don't like any of the big three, but advocating that government should just butt out of everyone's lives and stick to law enforcement and national defense just doesn't seem to be politically viable these days.
Yeah, I just filed my tax return, and yeah, I'm pissed.

Wait, what? What else does the government need to do other than law enforcement and defense? I thought it was a better move to have the government be less intrusive to the people. I don't understand where you're coming from, Angel.

I was saying that advocating that stance (libertarian) doesn't seem to be politically viable these days, even if I believe it is the right course of action.
"Viable" meaning that most people who seem to think that get tossed off the table of potential very quickly.
So I'm saying that I'm voting for McCain as the lesser of three evils in this situation.

I'm a supporter of Ralph Nader.
McCain, Obama, and Hillary are all corporate shills. Not to mention, the same on some of the most major issues effecting our country and the world (such as our policy on Israel).
