[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=takoma][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I share the disappointments of the last few posters that Obama has not carried through anywhere near as much as I'd like to have seen.  However, he has at least not actively worked to destroy the things I want our government to do, as the GOP candidates promise they will.  So unless some really unforeseen development occurs, I will vote for him.

Not so much "lesser of two evils" as "better blah than evil".
Great bumper sticker, no?[/quote]

"I'm curious: if you're planning on voting for Jimmy Carter rather than "Beelzeebub, The Lord of The Flies" in the coming election, could you explain your thinking? I'm planning on leaving the President field blank, and just casting a vote for the state and local races."[/quote]
Not quite sure how to answer that. I[size=24] did, in fact, vote for Carter for a second term, and would do so again,[/size] knowing about Reagan and the Contras and the sacking of the flight controllers (to name a few).

Perhaps "better blah than evil" is not the most exciting rationale for a vote, but it works for me.  Art of the possible and all that.

If you can't hold your nose and vote for blah, it will be hypocritical to complain about evil when it gets in.  My fundamental principle is that voting for blah does not mean I have to feel guilty when it turns out to be blah -- I just remind myself that patriotism takes many forms.[/quote]

[b]That statement basically disqualifies you from ever being listened to as a rational source of information.[/b][/quote]

Let me guess.  You were born in the mid-late 70s and named (or would name) your daughter Reagan.

You just "disqualified" a large portion of the US.  And we can assume you are rational why...???[/quote]
