[Psalm 144]

Brace for this. You will hear it a lot:
_____________________________________________

Conservative: “I can’t stand Baal. He is a demon, and I have higher standards than that. Further, it is my duty to resist hell itself, and to defeat it where I can. We all have that duty.”

Party Peon: “A vote against Baal is a vote for Abaddon!!!”

Stunned Conservative. “Uh . . . No. I do not vote for demons. I am not voting for either of them.”

Party Peon: “YES YOU ARE! A VOTE AGAINST BAAL IS A VOTE FOR ABADDON! VOTE FOR BAAL BECAUSE HE IS BETTER THAN ABADDON! IF YOU DO NOT VOTE FOR BAAL IT IS BECAUSE YOU REALLY LIKE ABADDON AND WANT TO SEE HIM IN CHARGE!”

Stunned Conservative: “Dude, they are BOTH DEMONS! Either of them will make this place hell on earth! I don’t want either one in charge. I -HATE- demons and will not choose either one!”

Party Peon: “YES YOU HAVE YOU TRAITOR! YOU’RE VOTING FOR ABADDON IF YOU WON’T VOTE FOR BAAL! I WOULD VOTE FOR LUCIFER HIMSELF TO DEFEAT ABADDON, AS NOTHING EVER EVER EVER EVER COULD POSSIBLY BE WORSE THAN ABADDON!”

Stunned Conservative: “Dolt. Abaddon, Baal and Lucifer are all on the same team. They are each diabolical and I will not aid, assist or support any of them. They are DEMONS.”

Party Peon: “You are a bigot.”

I think your demon analogy has merit. And it scares the crap out of me at the same time. Because I think it’s too close to the truth for comfort.

I’ve decided that we are all committing a slow national suicide anyway. Why poison ourselves when we can do it with a gun to the mouth?

Voting Obama after much deliberation. Bring on the civil war.

No, you're just deluded. You make up a fantasy (the above scenario), describe the real world in terms of your fantasy, then make a choice in the real world with real world consequences (adding a vote for Obama by withholding a vote from his opponent and facilitating what Obama actually DOES do out of fear for what his opponent may NOT do), and then appeal to your fantasy as justification.

Aw, c'mon. Baal is a cream-puff; especially after he took over the body of Adria.
