Just to be fair and balanced, since we have "Reasons to vote for Obama/Mcain" threads, I decided to add this one. So is anyone seriously considering either staying away from the polls altogether, a third party candidate or voting "none of the above"?

Neither one is willing to abolish birthright citizenship, which would go a long way with the "anchor baby" tactic illegal aliens employ to get themselves a foothold in the United States.

Neither one is serious about protecting our borders.
Neither one is serious about overhauling and simplifying our tax system.

Because the lord messiah Barack Obama most merciful sees babies as a "punishment" and has no problem with women murdering their chidren.
Because McCain's pro-life record is not heartfelt, he previously had a problem with good conservative pro-life Supreme Court Justices which he quickly flipped on once he became the nominee, and he may choose a pro-abortion Vice President.

Because a third party candidate has a snow-ball's chance in hell of winning the election, a vote must be cast for the lesser of two evills. Neither one is serious about closing our border with Mexico. Neither one is serious about fixing the problems with SS. It's hold the nose and vote for McCain.

Understood but the flip side is that if we never vote for third party candidates they'll never seem viable and we'll keep getting mediocrity (at best) from the two major parties.

As noble as many beloved Christian leaders make it sound, a vote for a third party is simply an irresponsible vote that will hand any election to the Democrats. Historically I think you will find most third party candidates siphon votes from the Republican candidate, because Dems and Indies usually always vote Demand it is the Republicans who usually go for the third parties. This isn't always the rule, but it is always true that a third party vote is an irresponsible waste of a vote. That is simply the Way Things Are in our current political system.

Given the nature of the candidates offered by the two main parties one may make the claim it's a waste of a vote, but irresponsible? No... What is irresponsible in my opinion is the idea I must vote for the Republican because the ungodly Democrat will win if I don't... I don't believe John McCain really cares about the unborn... Alan Keyes called his bluff long ago and I can't vote him for the simple fact he believes it's ok for the child of a rape to be put to death... Disgusting, unjust and plainly against the justice of God...

Against Obama:
Lack of foreign policy / military / intelligence experience.
Pro-choice
No record to speak of on favoring or opposing judicial appointments - don't know who, or what, he would nominate.
More than a little arrogant.
Would be of the same Party as Congressional majority, could be a good thing but more likely no real checks-and-balances.
Against McCain:
Old, with a history of cancer. Let's see who he selects for VP.
You can't trust his word. He broke his oath before God - whatever that was worth to him - and dumped his faithful, infirm wife for a younger, richer model. he also changes his viewpoint on important issues depending on who is listening at the moment, e.g., he's 'pro-life' and believes inthe rights of the unborn from conception, but also - depending on who he's talking to - favors exceptions.
Rumored to have a volcanic temper, which being the underacheiving son and grandson of admirals, clearly a legacy affirmative-action receipient, might well have placed a chip on that shoulder.

If McCain chooses either Lieberman or Ridge I won't vote for him and I can't vote for NObama.
If he picks Lieberman then it shows he doesn't really care about the Conservative vote and is expecting them to automatically vote for him.
If he picks Tom Ridge then it shows that he isn't serious about his promise to be a pro-life president.
