Purpose: The main purpose of this Digg is to get Ron Paul's current message out to those that have not heard it, and remind those that are confused exactly what it is, especially during the bailout crisis. This is posted in Political News at Digg. I hope you can take the time to Digg it with your vote, resulting in more people learning:



http://digg.com/politics/You_Will_Lose_If_You_Vote_for_the_Lesser_of_Two_Ev ils



freeople.com — A vote for the lesser of two evils will not make any significant difference for America. You will lose. America will lose. Whether you're concerned about people's rights, the law, the economy, or even war, under pressure, both the Democratic and Republican candidates will continue the failed policies of their respective parties. You have options.



Overall Message: The overall point of Ron Paul's support of Chuck Baldwin, and indeed his effort to endorse third party votes, is to send a message. To send a message that we are still free to vote and will do so. The best way to do that is to stand behind a third party candidate, and that is exactly what Ron Paul has done.

The reality is that no third party can win yet. The point is to unite in the leadership of showing America they don't have to vote for the Democratic or Republican parties, that there are other choices.

While it would be best for the overall cause if we could all stand behind a single candidate, especially the one that Ron Paul endorsed, voting for who you feel best represents you is still the better principle.

That is the point of the message - not so much a direct support of Chuck Baldwin's entire platform, but a support of Ron Paul's endorsement and cause.

"Notwithstanding a miracle, the reality is that a vote to win will not make any significant difference for America. Whether you are concerned about people's rights, the law, the economy, or even war, there is one essential truth to realize; both the Democratic and Republican candidates will continue the policies of their respective parties that nominated them - the same policies which have led us to where we are today."

Did you read the article?

"The point is not to win the election, the point is for the message to win. The point is to lead America by good example. The point is to show America that we are still free to vote and the people will not be led like sheep to the voting booths. The point is to show that we are still free."

The freedom of the flocks to pick the shepherds is not one that I value.

"The system is corrupt, beyond redemption, and is not worthy of my support!"

Wouldn't it be better to vote, than not at all?

Wouldn't it be better to vote, than not at all? No. "Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed." I do not consent. :) And neither do the vast MAJORITY of "We the People". ;)

I tend to agree with Ron Paul, that even though you may be right, we still have to work within the existing system.

Not voting makes no sense at all, especially since it is the easiest thing you can do. The point of voting differently is to buck the system.

25?

I wonder if it's getting buried? And how do you know? I know how to see Diggs, but is there a way to see Burys?

Is there a way to change the title of the thread? I tried and it didn't work.

The title of the article has been changed, so I'd like to make it match.
