What I’d like is for people to be honest about what they are doing and why they are doing it.
You believe you are doing the right thing. So be it. I believe that a vote cast for any person who believes and has legislated in ways and for things that are the polar opposite of everything I value, and what once made America a beacon of greatness, is the very mistake that led us to our present situation.
I believe that until we start voting ‘for’ what we value rather than ‘against’ the other guy’, we will continue to devolve as a nation and a people.
I believe that it is the sheerest of insanity to think that voting against your values is in any way the path to a solution.
I believe that we brought this mess on ourselves and there is no way we are going to get out of it by making the same mistakes over and over. Those being voting in people we disagree with out of fear of the other guy.
If you believe I am mistaken about any of this, please explain why. But we ARE going to suffer the consequences of our actions either way. We can start now on a path of correction or simply repeat the process in 4 years with a combination of all new excuses and rehashed/failed ones. That’s our choice. I choose to stop feeding the problem.
I understand. I also appreciate you not being condescending about it. There is a lot of animosity on FR of late. Herman Cain was my candidate and after he dropped out I didn’t like anyone else..
