Entry: Barrack over Baldwin Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/barrack_over_baldwin#25815 Post contents: Richard, I cannot go along with your idea, which I think is pretty nutty. All things being equal, in a "perfect world," where the dominant culture treated our ideas with a modicum of respect, such a plan might at least be debatable. As it is, for traditional conservatives and libertarians to vote for Obama this fall might, indeed, ensure an Obama victory and only make certain that our marginalization increases at a much greater pace. Obama is the scariest candidate since George McGovern (who really wasn't that scary). With Democrat control of Congress more or less assured and Republicans afraid of their own shadows, support of a messianic egalitarian like Obama will make things worse exponentially. We might all be in jail in a few years. I am not arguing, however, for McCain. I think, where possible, voting for Chuck Baldwin is entriely preferrable. At least neither Obama NOR McCain would get our votes. And in states like my own North Carolina, with its totalitarian voting regulations, I shall write in (again) the name of Jefferson Davis, on the theory that is is better to vote for a dead president who was good, than a bad one who is alive.
