So…who is the LoneRanger going to vote for?

This pre-election season has been a very taxing one for me. I’ve looked over the candidates high and low and have had to watch one right after another fall out until I’m left with 3 choices I don’t like.

When it became apparent that McCain would represent the Republican party I was practically outraged. I don’t like him. I sided with many other conservatives who vowed to vote for Hillary or Obama just to spite McCain and let him know that he didn’t represent me or my values and would not have my support.

But then it dawned on me: I’d rather have someone leading us who I can agree with 50% of the time than someone I agree with 10% of the time. McCain may not be my choice, but at this point he’s the least of the three evils and depending on his choice for VP, may turn out to produce a decent showing come November.

McCain may not have a stellar voting record when it comes to firearms, etc. and his ideas regarding Gitmo, etc. bug me but he’ll be so much easier to mop up after than what Hillary or Obama will hose us with.

Take home message: If I had to vote today, McCain would get my vote. Not because he’s great but because sometimes taking one on the chin is better than getting knocked out.
