(14,180 posts)voting for the lesser of two evils is a CIVIC DUTY and this is one of those times.
I say this as one who briefly flirted with the idea of voting third party or sitting out the general election to register my disapproval of Obama's governance.
Then I watched the Repuke debate on Thursday and I was scared straight in a hurry.
If you find yourself still feeling reservations about voting for Obama, I ask only that you watch a Repuke debate before you lock yourself into your position.
It is simply imperative that none of the current crop of Repukes get anywhere near the White House if we wish to maintain this experiment in a democratic republic.
I lived through Reagan and through Bush 1 and 2 and I never felt as scared as I did this past Thursday. I am not speaking lightly.
