Why I Can't Vote for Obama | National Catholic Reporter

Why I Can't Vote for Obama | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: The reason religious liberty is a canard is that it ignores the institutional expertise of the Institute of Medicine as well as ignoring the fact that this has been settled law for almost a dozen years.  It is not a small fib to call this an open issue - it is not.  I agree that Obama has not done enough for under-water borrowers (of which I am one), but his scope of action has been limited by bad advice from his economic A team, which included Larry Summers, and by an obstructionist Congress.  If those are your only issues, you need to rethink your vote.  If non-voting is only a protest and you hope he wins anyway than you should simply vote for him.  Writing any candidate in is not advisable, by the way, since you do not vote for a president but for a slate of electors.  If there is not slate to vote for, you may as well leave that line blank.  I don't see how Jill Stein or Gary Johnson fits your moral perspective any differently, nor will a vote for the Constitutionalists, so your only vote is really for the Obama electors.
