Only a moral person can distinguish between a better and a worse decision. So you’re faced with two possible choices:
1. Evil.
2. Evil squared.
You have three choices: 1, 2 or choose neither and default to whichever happens. What do you do?
‘The problem is about 20 cents of every dollar raised isn’t used to fund roads.”
In other words, congress should be passing the, “highway funding act” which says that ALL money apportioned to highway repair and maintenance cannot be deviated for other non automobile related purposes.
There you go. One bill, two sentences. Now make the rats vote on it.
Sorry, but I don’t believe in this binary decision scenario you set up here...
Supporting evil is supporting evil. You may feel this is justifiable or comfortable. I do not.
The “right” to vote is not a mandate to support evil. You have many “rights” which you do not necessarily exercise.
The lesser of two evils only serves to perpetuate the cycle.
I imagine Mitch and Johnny Boy were the lesser of two evils. How’s that working out for us?
It’s not about which party is more evil.
Anyone who votes for this is evil and should be voted out of office.
As has been repeatedly explained on this site, you always have more than two choices. You just have to be willing to stand up for principles and convince others to do the same. If you're voting GOP-E Republican as a lesser of two evils, you aren't helping to fix the problem.
No difference between the GOPe and the Democrats. In fact the GOPe is even worse because they pretend to be our friend.
That’s right, it’s not binary. Yet the fact is that if you don’t vote, you vote with the majority. So someone who didn’t vote for McCain or Romney, as flawed as they were, elected Obama by default.
I was responding to the person I posted to.
I felt that this highway bill was evil and that there is no lesser evil if anyone supports this bill.
The claim the the GOP is a lesser evil is no longer true.
Yes,I agree. At this point, conservatives need to choose sides. The war for control of America has begun and you are either for America as conceived by our forefathers or you are on the side of the Washington Cartel. Cruz has crossed Rubicon and I respect him for it.
“Yet the fact is that if you don’t vote, you vote with the majority. So someone who didn’t vote for McCain or Romney, as flawed as they were, elected Obama by default.”
Not meaning offense, but you need to review and understand how the Electoral College works.
We do not elect by popular national vote.
Each State has a vote that determines the Electoral votes received by a candidate. My state distributes its Electoral votes in a winner-takes-all decision. Unless my vote counted for +2 million votes, it would not have changed the outcome of the 2012 election of Obama - or the elections for your other mentioned RINOs.
That said, it is never a binary decision. Especially when the fish are biting. Or any of a thousand other alternatives.
Best.
Yep, I like Cruz too.
Nice dodge. Either way you vote with the majority when you don’t vote. Furthermore, there’s never going to be a perfect candidate, so you’re always going to have to choose.
Well, no. You may view it that way, but I certainly don’t.
I find it strange that you view not voting as voting. I do not.
I already made my choice.
Your wife and you are deciding where to go for dinner. You refuse to decide. She decides and by default you accept her decision. Therefore not voting defaults to majority rule. Capisce?
“Your wife and you are deciding where to go for dinner. You refuse to decide. She decides and by default you accept her decision. Therefore not voting defaults to majority rule. Capisce?”
You are creating a very funny read!
If I defer to my wife’s preference, wanting to please her, I’m fulfilling the Scripture. We are not voting.
Even if we accepted your truth claim about “going with the majority” on its face, I found your use of “math” to justify itearlier just silly.
The simple facts are that if someone votes, they voted.
If they do not vote, they did not exercise their right - for whatever reason. They willingly withdrew from the process. They did not vote with the majority.
Further, those (you) who did vote for RINOs bear full responsibility for their (you) elected RINOs and the destruction they (you) cause our country, and for supporting the RINO party that opens a winning path for Democrats by running those very RINOs.
The only ones who can rightly be critical are those who did not vote for those causing destruction.
“A pox on all your households!” as the saying goes.
It’s 2010. Known RINO Mark Kirk is running against Democrat Alexi Giannoulias. Did I make a mistake voting for Kirk?
