So you dont like Trump either? Did you vote for Hillary then?

No because that would be inconsistent with everything I've just said. I wrote-in Evan McMullin.

I posted this on another board that I frequent. Since it applies here, I felt like I should repeat it:

I did not vote yesterday. I'm sure plenty here feel that is the worst thing a person could do, and I understand that. I used to feel that way too. But here's why I did not vote. First of all, I am a Christian and I hold to the convictions of my faith strongly. I have never believed that Roy Moore's antics (going back to the 10 Commandments issue) were rooted in his deep commitment to his faith or his convictions. I have always believed it was grand-standing for political gain. Doing that is essentially whoring out Christianity for your own needs, wants, or desires. Even before all of the alleged stuff with being a creep toward teen girls years ago, I did not feel good about voting for him.

Doug Jones, it is very simple. The man is running for office for a party that openly embraces murder of unborn children, and he himself supports it. I will not ever vote for a candidate that is tied to that.

So, I was left with choosing to vote between 2 candidates who both violated my faith-based convictions or writing in a candidate, which is waste of time. I believe that holding strongly to my convictions is more honorable than going to place a vote for someone who violates them. I understand that men have fought and died in battle over the centuries to preserve our way of life that includes freedom to vote that some nations do not have. I'm sure those same men did not also wish to fight and die so that their fellow countrymen years later would have to decide between candidates that both violate their consciences and convictions.

I will also add, that I will NEVER vote for someone who violates my convictions just to push a political party through. If the Republicans want my vote, stop putting terrible candidates out. That's my message.

There is no proof, obviously, but I actually think the allegations helped Moore. They were never going to seriously hurt him because there was no proof and even the rumors were shaky at best. But what it did was take the focus off the real issues that made him unelectable. Without the Sexual Harassment allegations, I honestly think it wouldn't have been as close as it was.

Do you carry those same tow the line convictions when you never over eat, gossip, judge you neighbors, drink to much, smoke, dip, chew, lust, curse, speed, lose your temper or o the other side
Put your needs aside to spread Gods word daily, serve the needs of others never skip church to bun, fish, nurse a hangover, go on vacation
I could go on and on but you get the point and yes, were all guilty of being "better Christians" when it's most convenient or gives us a self righteous platform, its human nature

Without the allegations, any republican candidate wipes the floor with Jones.

you idiots who write people in are as dumb as a bag of rocks.

How many of your "Write ins" won?? EVER?

Oh thats right..NONE!

I disagree, but again, no real sense in arguing over it since there is no way to prove it one way or another.

Then they should learn to stop putting out terrible candidates to win elections they need in order to put forth their agenda. That's really the bottom line as to why Alabama has a Democrat going to Washington.

Once again, you fail to understand the entire point of why we vote for a write-in candidate.

If the Republican Party and Trump want me to vote for their candidate so their agenda will be pushed through, then give me someone I can vote for. Period. You can laugh, call people stupid, call people names all you want. But you're doing nothing but making yourself look like a bitter, angry d-bag to everyone who disagrees with your point of view.

This is the worst kind of logic. I hear it the most since I'm a Libertarian and either write-in or vote directly for a third party in nearly every election. Let me explain to you why you're wrong.....

I voted for Ron Bishop yesterday in the Alabama election. I literally wrote, Ron Bishop (Libertarian), on my ballot. I know this because it was me that did it. Now, here's the hard part, that vote was actually for Ron Bishop and NOT whomever you did not want to win that won. This seems to be a hard concept for some to grasp. I think it has to do with the logical fallacy that there are really only two choices and a choice for anything other than those two perceived choices are actually a vote against which ever choice you have chosen.

I hope this has helped you. In the future, instead of belittling or attempting to guilt third party voters into voting for your candidate, might I suggest running candidates for office that don't suck balls? Roy Moore is the creepiest of creeps and twice removed religious zealot judge. He's a clown of the first order that I wouldn't elect to Dog Catcher in Jasper, Al.

Once again, you fail to understand the entire point of why we vote for a write-in candidate.

If the Republican Party and Trump want me to vote for their candidate so their agenda will be pushed through, then give me someone I can vote for. Period. You can laugh, call people stupid, call people names all you want. But you're doing nothing but making yourself look like a bitter, angry d-bag to everyone who disagrees with your point of view.

I think you would find out today that there are a lot more who agree with him than with you.

NO WRITE ins WIN..ever.

So youre not voting for someone to WIN an election, but to make yourself FEEL good emotionally over your perceived moral superiority that you..STOOD ON PRINCIPLE..though your candidate stood a snowballs chance in hell of winning.

Yea,..that makes perfect sense.
