Y'all need to [...] justify the assertion that "If you candidate loses,
you threw your vote away", as if, the only way for one's vote to
"count" is to vote for the guy who's going to win.

Nobody said any such thing.

Ray did.

You may have misunderstood (Ray's been unemployed for a while, so even his English is poor. You understand... ;)

I'm /pretty sure/ that Ray did not say and does not believe "if your candidate loses, then you threw your vote away." Likewise, I'd bet a dollar and a fine cigar that Ray would deny even intending for his words to be misconstrued to mean "the only way for your vote to 'count' is to vote for the guy who's going to win."

That said, if you were to tell me that that's what you got out of Ray's posts, I would believe you. But that's a whole 'nother thing. <G>
