101. Refusing to vote for corruption is not apathetic.
Apathy is the condition of those who know their vote is going to someone who isn't really worthy of it, but give them the vote anyway because "there's no other choice," or "they are the lesser of two evils." Refusing to vote for "evil," refusing to toe the line, is not apathy, but resistance.

If the only way to support someone who can win is to support corruption,
then the vote means nothing anyway. There is no gain in furthering corruption.

The point, for me, is to vote people who support any one of the 4 positions I mentioned OUT of office, not INTO office:

any human being who supports the war in Iraq in any way,

who supports the Bush administration agenda in anyway,

who supports the PNAC in any way,

who supports the DLC "third way" in any form.
