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.
You vote for evil, you get it. Doesn’t matter whose name is on it. Thats a simple fact. Evil is evil. Lesser or greater. Calling a guy that funds abortion personally, created the first legal gay marriage in America, taxed his people to death, is a gun grabber etc some viable option when you are trying to stop liberals from more abortion, gun grabbing, gay everything and hypertaxation is pure idiocy.
All the above isn’t arguable. If anyone wants to try, be my guest. It doesn’t change reality.
Good example!
The one I think about is Boehner. As long as it looked liked the Repubs would still have a majority in the House, I'd vote for the Democrat if I lived in Boehner's district, simply to get him out of the Speakership. But if looked like the Dems could take the House, then I'd vote for Boehner.
Same goes for Mitch McConnell.
Wouldn’t you say Bush was better than Obama?
I would. So where did his terms ultimately lead us?
Was the outcome something you voted for?
I’m tired of enabling lackluster performances so bad they usher in the worst leader imaginable.
My vote for Bush the second time around essentially turned into an endorsement for anyone but a member of the Republican party.
