Why voting for a major party Presidential candidate doesn't make sense

PeaceChicken's blog at the Ohio Freedom Alliance* gave it a light touch, but it makes perfect sense: On 31 major issues identified by the Washington Post, Senators McCain and Obama agreed an average of 44.7% of the time. She specifies 25 votes where they voted the same, then offers a (black) humorous voting guide.

One of the reasons I promote secession is that there really is no hope that the American people can take back their government. The kleptocracy has controlling interest in both parties, and will ensure that only candidates acceptable to it are nominated or elected.

If you don't want to go along with them, then either leave the President slot blank (which is the only view a secessionist can justify), or vote for the third-party candidate that most closely matches your views.
