See? Here you are getting all worked up over politics. Is it worth it to you?
Sorry, after seeing how things went with Ron Paul, I don't have any faith in no matter who gets into office making a damned bit of difference. Just two peas in the same pod as far as I can tell. They are, again, just railroading us into voting for the lesser of two evils, which in this case is quite likely going to be a toss up as to which one is the lesser of the two.
If I can write in "RON PAUL" on the ballot, then that is what I will do. If I can't then I just flat out REFUSE to vote for someone I really don't want to have as president of the USA. I might very well just write NOTA on the ballot.
As for a "shootout at the OK corral" scenario, well, I'll just have to see what that bridge looks like before I choose to either cross it or burn it. Maybe they'll go in alphabetical order when they decide to round up all the firearms.
