Third Party Chess
How to Know If Your Non-Bush Vote Will Endanger Gun Rights

by Sean Oberle

 

This election, in trying to peel votes from RKBA-friendly third parties, the Republicans have upped the ante with “it’s the Supreme Court, stupid,” saying that an Al Gore presidency could spell disaster if he packs the court with judges unfriendly to gun rights.

The Republicans are correct. Moreover, this is an extremely tight race. Out tens of millions of votes, it could be decided by a few thousand ballots (see prediction at bottom). In fact, I’d loathe an Al Gore victory. The thought of it makes my stomach churn. I pray Bush wins. Does that mean I’m voting Bush?

Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe I’ll vote for Libertarian Harry Browne. I’ll decide on Election Day. How can I not be firmly in the Bush camp out of fear?

It’s the Electoral College, stupid. Here’s how it effects your third-party decision:

If you live in a “safe” Gore state (he’s ahead more than 10 points), there’s nothing you can do about your state’s electoral votes going to Prince Al. Decide now to vote your conscience; it’ll be good for you soul.

If you live in a “safe” Bush state (up more than 10 points), your third-party choice won’t take your state’s electoral votes away from Dubya. Decide now to vote your conscience.

If you live in a battleground state (race within 5 points), you very well may be one of those few thousand deciding votes. Your conscience will feel better if you vote strategically. Vote Bush. Heed well “it’s the Supreme Court, Stupid.”

If you live in a state, as I do, somewhere in between (6-10 point race), wait until Election Day to decide. A lot can change in a week. Dubya might need ya.

***

My prediction: Bush will win the Electoral College 290-248. He’ll also win the popular vote by at least by 500,000, perhaps breaking 2 million. But the race will be decided by just a few thousand votes in one or two states – thus my prediction will fall if gun rights activist fail to vote for him in battleground states. 

Don’t let make me look bad. My reputation is in your hands.

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
The supposed quietude of a good mans allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside...Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them... — Thomas Paine, I Writings of Thomas Paine at 56 (1894).
