People Who Claim They Won't Vote if _________ is the Republican Nominee
I guess they're just too principled-- too much above it all-- to dig out the old nose-clothespin and cast a vote for the lesser of two evils.
I can understand if they're not thrilled with their options. (I mean, I really understand.) I can understand if they're disappointed because "their guy" (or woman) is no longer in the running. I can understand if they're disgusted with the political process in general-- wondering why for heaven's sake we couldn't find a truly outstanding, inspirational candidate, this (or the last) time around. (I mean, really. Is this the best we could do? This is not the cream of our crop. The cream doesn't want to deal with the muck of the battle for the presidency.)
But you know what? I don't care if our party's eventual presidential candidate isn't perfect. If someone really cares about the direction our country's going-- and anyone who lives here ought to-- he needs to get off his (or her) oh-so-principled behind and vote anyway. He needs to lower his exceptionally high, unimpeachable Standards for the twenty minutes it takes to cast a vote, just like the rest of us will have to do.
*sigh*
What is wrong with people?
