I will not risk this country suffering under his presidency for another four years regardless. I love to see a strong showing for Johnson and I fully support his efforts, but in that booth it will be removal of Obama that is of utmost importance.

The decision to vote for a candidate whose principles and values, as well as the candidate's party platform most closely aligns with ones own is a valid rational decision. <br /><br />I'll leave it at that.Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-70057332055390515452012-09-05T11:28:57.891-04:002012-09-05T11:28:57.891-04:00You're taking the "Evil" in "le...You're taking the "Evil" in "lesser of two evils" literally.<br /><br />Neither Barack Obama nor Mitt Romney are evil.
