Reply #108: No one else would have run against Edwards except Burr, is Not Voting A VIRTUE?? [View All]

[Blackhatjack]

A choice of candidates means you would have had to vote for Edwards OR Burr. There would not be another choice.

There is nothing admirable about voting for Burr, and I find it hard to believe a self-described liberal independent and/or a Democrat would make the choice to NOT VOTE rather than vote for the Democrat (Edwards).

Not voting for Edwards in that scenario would necessarily improve the chances that Burr would prevail. Is that admirable? About as much as not voting in the upcoming 2008 General Election.

It would be like cutting off her nose to spite her face. But hey, not everyone acts in their best interest.

And once again, I made no false assumptions. Go back and read what I posted. I asked a question. But if you want to go on trying to characterize my observation as a false assumption I will continue to point out your error. Flame on.
