Ah ha! The ol’ “if it’s not red, it’s blue.” Everyone jumps to the conclussion that if someone doesn’t like a republican, they must automatically be a far left liberal democrat. Wrong assumption!
I’m an independent voter, leaning closest to libertarian than anything. My favorite candidate in the primaries was a republican, Ron Paul. I don’t like the dems’ tendency towards socialism. I don’t like the reps’ tendency towards theocracy, militarism, oil-dependency, and well, these days socialism. As someone in the “center” I feel disenfranchised by both parties. I sadly have to vote for the lesser of two evils. So no, I wouldn’t like her if she were a democrat. I wouldn’t even like her if she carried the label “libertarian”, because her stance would contradict the label. I don’t like her stance on any issue. She has a very thin track record, and what little is there does not demonstrate good judgment to me. She, and the poor judgment of the man that chose her, is clearly the greater of two evils, regardless of label.
It seems to me the opposite of your claim is true. She and McCain are getting a free-pass simply because of the label “republican”. If you are free-thinking and honest, can’t you at least admit she is a bad republican?[/quote]
I don’t think you know enough about her to make the claims you do. Today will be the first time she speaks. Watch her and see what you think about her.
I bet she wouldn’t lie like Hillary did about being shot at by snipers. I also bet she can prove her citizenship unlike Obama. I also bet she wouldn’t run around with racist slobs like that pastor guy or run around with criminals and bombers.
I am voting McCain. I liked Ron Paul’s ideas but he is nut and would never get elected and quite frankly, dosen’t want the job. He rather run his mouth for the attention.
Politics have always been the choice of lesser evils.
