For many people Obama is not a "lesser evil." For the privileged, he can be.

81. Indeed.

If you can't think of a reason I don't know what to say to you. I have no desire to retract what I said because there are plenty of reasons to support Obama without viewing him as a "lesser evil." I can think of a multitude of reasons. My mom, she's had some medical problems recently. She went to get her prescriptions. Hundreds of dollars. Wal-Mart pharmacy told her she didn't "qualify" for the Medicare discount. She called Medicare. Medicare told her to go back to Wal-Mart immediately. Within an hour she had back most of her money. The Wal-Mart pharmacists were fuming. I think they were trying to pull one over on her and scam since they knew as a corporation they'd be OK. "We just made a mistake!" This is a woman who makes $600 a month. Extreme poverty. Me and my brother help her out monetarily but it's still bottom of the bottom. Try living on that every month when your rent is $500.

She's a highly religious fundamentalist, doesn't believe in evolution, doesn't believe in climate change, has horrific views of homosexuals (even with one son who is gay), and yet, she still supports Obama. Think about that one. Of course, she'd be called stupid, unsophisticated, idiotic, and whatnot. All things that are not true, but what can I do. People can hold shitty views and still be sharp as a stick.

The Democrats provide a shield. I have to agree with Fumesucker the Democrats are only slowing the decline of America. It's enough for me. It's enough for a lot of people as we try to salvage what we do have.

I want to apologize for the long reply, I can type fast, and I had a lot to say, I hope I do not come off as berating. I don't intend to do so. I'm fine with being derisive, though.
