116. I will never vote Paul, but

Mon Jan 2, 2012, 10:57 AM

I don't get your political purity test. Racism, sexism, and homophobia are abhorrent, but on the other hand, Obama claims the power to assassinate American citizens. Is racism really worse than a President putting a drone strike on your head? I'd rather be alive and marginalized by a racist than killed by a man who probably doesn't hate me just because of my race.

By your logic, you could never possibly vote for someone who assassinates Americans, including teens. What about Obama's homophobia?

Do you vote? How?
