Here's the truth. If you wanted to make a difference, you had plenty of time. Time has now run out.
You had plenty of time to make your case against Obama. You failed. You could not give us a viable alternative.
So now it's Obama vs. mittens. You can rail against that all you want, but the bottom line is that you have created that choice because you failed to create a viable alternative.
If you want to vote against the lesser of two evils, that means that you are voting FOR the greater of two evils.
Justify it any way that makes you feel better about yourself - but the bottom line now is that you have two choices. You may not like either of them, but there are only two.
TWO.
If you don't want to vote for Obama, then at this point you support the Conservative
AND YOU are my enemy.
I am not so close-minded in my personal life. But this is different. I am a Progressive, which means that I am an Idealist who is also a Pragmatist. Idealism without Pragmatism is just Fantasy.
