The economy has always been the number one concern in every presidential election.
With the rise of the extreme Republican Party right wing where there is the very real possibility that women will lose their civil right to choose and even the possible talibanization of America if the likes of Akin, Mourdoch, Mandel, Deb Long and the R-R ticket are elected into office, will a woman take that risk and vote the R-R ticket because they are making promises that under their administration the economy will (miraculously) recover? Or will the R-R ticket railroad America?
I have two questions about your [Glowpun's] post:
1. Why do you feel it necessary to employ such hyperbolizations as I have highlighted?
The problem is, people aren't "abandoning their values" to vote for these troglodytes-- they're voting for them because they share those values. They're voting for Republicans who talk about "legitimate rape" because that's the kind of government they want.

Sure. The only reason to vote for Romney/Ryan is because they obviously support rape. All conservatives do, or so I'm told. :roll:

Hardly, I'm voting for the Republicans because I don't want Obama anywhere near the White House anymore. He's proven he sucks. I think Romney sucks too. I think every single person running for the office, regardless of the party, sucks.
Therefore, as with every other election in the past 30ish years, I'm voting for the lesser of the two evils because all we have a choice of is evil.
As a Conservative, my values have never been for sale. I will ALWAYS vote for the Social Conservative candidate; because THAT is what is going to fix this country. To hell with the economic issues, they will straighten themselves out once we get society back on the straight and narrow.
Because of this I will not be voting for EITHER major party candidate next Tuesday. I'll be writing in my own name.
OK, so you are voting for evil. Is that logical?
You could join in with me in voting for purity. I will stand in line, probably about two hours, and cast a blank ballet. Now imagine if half the electorate did the same thing, don't you think that the two major parties would take note and change their "evil" ways?

There's no option not to vote for evil, except not voting at all. If you cast a blank ballot, they throw it away and it doesn't count at all. While I wish we had a "none of the above" option on the ballot, it will never happen because it would win 99% of the time.
Actually, it does count, it just doesn't count for any one person. Political parties examine the voting results at ever polling station. If they were to see that 1000 people voted, but that the candidates only got 500 votes, they would realize that the other 500 people were interested enough to vote, but just not for any candidate.
The only wasted vote is a straight party vote.
