So I guess then the question is, are you better off with Obama than you were with Bush? (Both have done a poor job overall) And if you don't vote for a republican then do you vote for Obama because he is at least as good as Bush or do you stay home.
Your argument is not a winner either.
By the way mine was not an argument they were reasons with way too much content to put in a post.
Also, a true independent would have to be honest about how poor a job the hope and change merchant has done.
I am one and I can see it.
By the way I did not say "just any" republican. I said one of them.
