1. Some say that not voting sends no message. This is usually followed by saying you should vote for Romney to send a message to Obama or for Johnson or another third party so you can send a message to Romney and Obama. I think not voting sends a great message. For example—I don’t acknowledge or encourage this corrupt and evil government or I don’t vote for the lesser of two evils because it is still evil.
2. Many conservatives get upset if you say you don’t vote and tell you that you should because it is your patriotic duty. However, if you say that you will vote for Obama then they change their tune and say that would be unpatriotic. What they really mean is that you should vote Republican.
