Entry: What Would Machiavelli Do? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/what_would_machiavelli_do1#18968 Post contents: I for one find this debate to be silly. Such quixotic thought might make for interesting conversation in the vacuum world of academia, but is illogical and impractical in the real world. When I was a child my father taught me an invaluable lesson that has served my well both personally and professionally. When faced with a difficult decision, I was instructed to grab the yellow pad and make a list of the pros and cons. He was teaching me to think logically rather than emotionally. While not the ideal candidate, John McCain is clearly a better alternative than either liberal Democrat candidate. A no vote or vote for a third party candidate who has no chance of wining, while pleasing to one's emotions, is a cop out. Sent at: 2008 08 21
