Political Leaders…both rash and lucid

September 28th, 2005

I know a few people who have told me that they are going to vote for Nader, just to punish Bush. A vote for Nader is a vote against America, just as a vote for John Kerry is a vote against America. Let me explain the situation to you in a scenario that you might understand.
Think of America as your house.
Think of Al-Qaeda as a thief / murderer breaking into your house.
You have a handgun (thanks in no part to the liberals out there) to protect yourself with.
Think of the handgun and the bullet that you will fire as your vote in the upcoming election.
You have only one bullet so you must decide how you will use that bullet.
Now, as a supporter of Bush, you can choose to fire the bullet at the intruder with the intent to severely wound or kill him thus defending your home and family.
If you choose to vote third party, then you will choose to waste your vote which is tantamount to you aiming your handgun at the ceiling, pulling the trigger and wasting your bullet. It may make you feel better, but it is not going to protect your home or your family.
If you wish to vote for a liberal, who has a history of undermining both the military and defense / intelligence agencies of this country, you have now chosen to hand the loaded handgun over to the criminal and you are hoping for the best.
The hatred right now for George Bush is like the homeowner hating the handgun. Deciding to get back at the only thing that is protecting you right now, the only thing that has protected you, is a bit silly and shows a vast amount of immaturity as well as ignorance in the voting process.
I truly feel sorry for those who are casting their votes for a third party for they are casting their votes based on their feelings, not for the betterment of the nation.
