Re: 2014 Primary Results

Sorry, have not been solid on the board in a couple of days.

As for the 'scare tactic' it is a fact. Take a look at the presidential race in 1992. Ross Perot pulled 18.9% of the popular vote. Bush got 37.5% and Clinton received 43.0%. Now, while it may not have made enough of a difference in an electoral based race, it sure as heck would have made a difference in a head-to-head Senatorial race. Had even 7% of those that voted for the Perot voted or those that didn't vote at all cast a vote for Bush he would have had the popular vote. So, in a 2-candidate race, if you don't vote for the lesser of the evils and help offset a vote for the one you DON'T want to see in office, then you are not helping the cause at all and actually hurting it. Sometimes you have to be an adult and do things that may not be 100% popular with your beliefs.

My vote is worth something and it won't be cast anymore for the lesser of two evils. Cornyn is not very far removed from McCain and I consider them the be two peas in a pod.
A non-vote for Cornyn is in essence a vote for Alameel.
