I hate to admit this (I mean REALLY hate it. Like it makes my mouth taste of bile to admit this), but if it comes down to Hillary vs. Rudy, I might just (dear God NO) vote Republican. I really hope it doesn't come to that. Sincerely. But the fact is, I've seen what Rudy can do and it's pretty amazing. And I can't stand Hillary.

[caspian_x]

This is my entire point. I think Rudy could bring a lot of unity to the political table, which is something country desperately needs right now. And when it comes down to it, Hillary is ridiculously polarizing and Obama is just too green for many.

So while it would make me just as sick and bad taste in my mouth to vote for a pro-choice candidate, I could do it on the grounds that the alternative is so very much worse.

I just wish Rudy was a Democrat so voting for him wouldn't make me feel like such a tool.

Well if voting cross party makes you feel like a tool, you could always simply switch affiliations. :o)

Now you're just trying to make my brain go all 'blooey. Not nice.

ONE OF US. ONE OF US.

We're really nicer than you think.

The thought has occurred to me to register as a Republican just so that I could have a vote in the primaries. As a Democrat, it's felt meaningless so far, living in Massachusetts and North Carolina.

Don't think the opposite hasn't occurred to me. That's the only way I'd vote for Hillary - the primaries.
