Who are you voting for from who get's the nomination?

Very smart. A non-vote for a conservative (even a conservative who doesn’t share your whacko religious views) is a vote for a dirty commie scum democrat who wants to destroy your religion and your constitution.

A lack of a vote is a lack of a vote. That is all. I'm not voting for anyone; that's the point.

What you're talking about is the "lesser of two evils" concept in voting. I've had to apply that principle for my entire adult life when voting, and I'm done with it.

My denomination put together a small booklet on voting a few years ago that you can purchase (it's only a couple bucks) if you're interested, but I'll quote a small section on this topic. As a warning, I don't expect many, if any, to agree with this, but as someone committed to voting only for candidates that are credible professing Christians who desire God's glory above all else, I believe this is important.

Approach #1: The Lesser of Two Evils

What happens when a Christian candidate with explicitly Christian principles is nowhere to be found on the ballot? Should we simply read through the platforms of the two major party candidates and vote for the so-called lesser of two evils? According to most Christians today, this is precisely what we should do. There are, however, several major problems with this approach.

It is a proven failure. Despite its best efforts to appear pragmatic, this approach has proved an utter failure, particularly in the United States. As a nineteenth-century Presbyterian minister once observed, "American Conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition...It is worthless because it is the 'conservatism' of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle."

At best, voting for the lesser of two evils merely places society on a slower road to perdition. Such gradual declension, however, often proves to be more dangerous in the long run, since it occurs at a less disturbing, less noticeable pace. The triumph of lesser evil is of great use to Satan, because it allows moral decline to press onward, cleverly disguised as moderation.

Consider the effect of this philosophy on American politics. For the most part, today's conservatives are less biblical, less moral, and less dignified than yesterday's liberals. We have inadvertently created a market for wily politicians, who know full well that as long as they can appear slightly less evil than their opponents at election time, they are sure to garner the support of most evangelical voters, notwithstanding their numerous unbiblical policies and immoral habits. This approach is clearly not helping our cause.

It leads to absurdity. If Christians are required to support the lesser of two evils, then they would technically be required to vote for Stalin over Hitler (or vice versa), which is patently absurd. Incidentally, if the current trend of moral backsliding continues, the prospect of seeing a Hitler or a Stalin on our ballot may not be so far-fetched!

It hinders real change. This approach typically opposes third-party Christian candidates on the supposition that they have no chance of winning. Godly men with scriptural principles are thereby discouraged from running for office, since they cannot even count on their fellow evangelicals to vote for them. This effectively guarantees the political dominance of evil candidates and perpetuates the status quo of moral declension. What could be more evil than that?
