Well stated.
While I am leaning towards voting for Hilliary I have severe misgivings. I
certainly honor and understand Carl and others right to vote for a third
party.
I have done so in the past. And will do so again.

Hi Frank,
I want to be sure I am understanding you correctly. ARE you saying that
folks on this list such as Carl, Miriam and myself have GOP leanings? ARE
you saying that just because we express concerns over voting for Clinton
that we secretly favor the GOP or Trump? Also, are you saying that voting
one's conscience in 2016 is a selfish act? Heck, I always thought that the
point of a democracy is for every citizen to vote his or her conscience. By
the way, Miriam and others have posted here oodles of articles critical of
Trump and many other Republicans.
I challenge you to make the case for how Miriam or any others of us on this
list who have reservations about Clinton are or may be closet Republicans.
While I agree with you that I don't want to see Trump become president, I
believe even more strongly that we have a very badly broken system and that
both parties are to blame. Perhaps the Republicans deserve more of the
blame, but the Democrats are not completely innocent. For more on the guilt
of democrats and liberals please do read "listen Liberal" by Thomas frank.
By the way, I seriously doubt that Thomas Frank is a closet Republican.
