"voting for the lesser of two evils . . . is like feeding a junkie." You know, that is one of the stupidist things I've ever read on this forum.

The POINT of Jesus not coming as an earthly king was to show that there would BE NO perfection on this earth until His Second Coming. Therefore, unless you are in a dictatorship (as He was), ANY AND EVERY election is a choice of the "lesser of two evils" because no people, and thus no parties, will ever be perfect.

So I guess you would have opposed George Washington---the original "big government guy" who CREATED a cabinet when none was outlined in the Constitution (and, I should add, did not believe in personal liberaty because he was a slaver); or opposed Jefferson (because he was a bigger slaver) because he believed in controlling all business (by slapping an embargo on Europe); or John Marshall because he thought the Federal Government should have the authority to take measures "necessary and prudent" to conduct business; or James Monroe because he believed in "compromise" . . .

Well, you get the point. When you get to politics the name of the game is COMPROMISE to get your way. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose. The only governments that do not practice compromise are dictatorships. I prefer ours.

Coming from someone who fails to grasp the proper superlative form of the word "stupid", I'll take that as a compliment.
