Your Fred Thompson dropped out of the race...if it comes down to McCain and Clinton I'm not voting, fuck it.

Yes, Fred is out of it, and I am just sick about it. As for McCain, if you have read this blog for any length of time you know I have ripped him a new one over many issues. I just suppose at this point I think he is not as bad as Hillary, and I would vote for a purple dog before I would vote for either Hillary OR Obama.

Actually, that so-called "Libertarian" candidate is a perfect example of the schism that has occurred between the mostly city-based politically correct group who is more inserested in pandering to the masses and the rest of them who are more interested with sticking to original ideals. They are no different in this respect from the Republicans.

I'll write my own name in crayon at the bottom of the ballot before I vote for either.
