Why bother? It’s not like our beliefs will be taken seriously anyway.

I’m an atheist, pro-gay marriage, anti-abortion, anti-death penalty voter for McCain.

I think it would be cool to finally put a black person in the White House. Just not this one.

Amen sister. On the SDMB we’re the minority that cherishes common sense. Not that it will matter.

De-lurking long enough to stand with the “Anybody But Obama” crowd.

Hmmmm. Let me see. Who would I rather have sitting across a hostile negotiating table from Vladimir (the Impaler) Putin? A calm, mild-mannered, silver-tongued Harvard law professor whose only experience in foreign relations is an uncompleted senate term, most of which has been spent on the campaign trail? Or a feisty, cantakerous old fart who stared a pack of ruthless torturers in the eyes (and didn’t blink) for five years to protect his buddies and his country from people like Putin, Chavez, Kim Jong-il, Ahmadinejad, etc. – and has been a devoted and capable public servant ever since?

I’m sorry, what was the question again?

McCain supporter.

I voted yesterday. I am now entitled to spend the next four years griping.
