(10,622 posts)That he is supporting the lesser of the evils available (Obama).
I supported LBJ's Great Society, I also criticized and was bludgeoned by cops for not supporting a senseless war.
So I guess my support was mixed, not gladly, but better than the other warmongering murdering assholes.
Much like with Obama.
I imagine I will be assaulted eventually for demonstrating against the Afghanistan clusterfuck, not exactly a good sign of the moral fitness of the lesser of some really evil shit.
Thanks for bringing me back to those days, I remember how much fun it was helping Abby to "levitate" the pentagon.
The bad memories were centered around the convention, I was badly injured there and will do so again even as an old man!
Now as with then, I will vote against my best interests because to vote otherwise would be to vote even more against my own best interests. Obama has my support only as a matter of degree of evil, but he has it nonetheless.
