Not Voting for McCain
By now, nearly everyone with the internet, television, radio, newspaper, or even some basic human contact has heard the news that presidential nominee Senator John McCain actually defended fellow presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama at his own rally in Lakeville, Minnesota. If you follow that link, you’ll see this in the article:
“’I have to tell you, he is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States,’ McCain said to boos and groans from supporters.”
Boos and groans from his own supporters. It is times like these where we see the true people supporting Senator McCain’s run for the presidency. It is not because they think McCain will be an excellent president and is the most able man for the job. It is no longer because they think McCain will stand for what is true and decent in America (not that these people were ever looking for the truth).
These people are behind Senator McCain because he is against Barack the Liberal. The people that booed Senator McCain when he said Senator Obama is a decent person are only behind him because he is a Republican. They are voting for Senator McCain because he is not Democrat. They are voting for Senator McCain because he is the vessel of abuse they are looking for. They are supporting Senator McCain because they expect him to say that Senator Obama is the Antichrist, and to agree with them or even acknowledge they might not be so bad is forbidden.
These people do not use what scientists call logic. They think logic is something only for liberals1,2, instead voting for the president that uses any of the following phrases in the same sentence3:
Liberal(s), Obama, Muslim(s), Evil, Hypocrisy/hypocrite(s), Fascist/fascism, Communist/communism, Elite, Bias, Hate Speech, Deceit, Delusional
I would love to say you have to pass an IQ test to vote (or at minimum a sobriety test), but that will not likely come to be for a long time. Until then we must allow the votes that have taken an old saying to its extreme.
“I don’t vote for people, I vote against them.”
1 A question to ponder: Are black holes capable of thought? If not, what are these people using to think?
2 If you don’t believe me, check out the Conservapedia page for “Liberal” (which I refuse to link here on moral grounds). It’s right between “Liberals” (Three cheers for redundancy!) and “Myths”
3 Fun challenge: Try to use as many of these words in a sentence as you can. It doesn’t have to be a grammatically correct sentence, as that would put around 32% of potential participants at a disadvantage

I still don’t believe an IQ test would be beneficial. Sure it would be nice to think that every voter was making an informed decision. To turn away some voters due to IQ would hurt the democratic ideals of government.
