I appreciate the mention, but I’m not sold on that.
I responded to another person whose view was similar to yours.

It’s not intellectually honest to say that you either must ALWAYS vote for an unsavory candidate under the lesser of evils scenario....nor is it honest to say you NEVER should vote for such a candidate.
Matter of degree comes into this equation. You know, Obama is SOOO bad that it may be worth having a moderate Republican instead. I’m not saying that’s necessarily correct or not, but it is a reasonable position. Having Thad Cochran win in Mississippi? That’s one I’d rather the Dems win. They’re ALL different. You have to go case by case.
And it’s certainly idiotic to say that those who voted McCain / Romney in the last general elections are at fault. They didn’t win. Had they won, I’m sure they would have done some stupid stuff that would have had a lot of folks second guessing.
This either or extreme is just a childish lack of understanding...and some on this forum, though not you two, are eaten up with this.
