In reply to the discussion: An open letter to folks like myself who cannot in good conscience vote for Obama [View all]Kelvin Mace
(17,469 posts)As long as people keep making excuses for the behaviour and excoriating people who point it out, we are pretty much screwed.
And yes, I have voted for candidates all my life. As I have grown older and the system has drifted further to the right it has gotten much harder. Soon it will be impossible.
Again, this seems to boil down to you being angry that I am not voting for Obama for reasons you approve of. You seem to feel I am judging you, or at least that is what I am picking up.
For the record, I am not. The post was written specifically for the people who find themselves in the moral quandary I did. I am trying to help the situation, but this help (garnering more votes for Obama) seems unwelcome.
Anyone who sees judgment in my post is projecting.
If you go back and read my post, I specifically, deliberately said I DIN NOT WANT TO ARGUE the reasons I objected to Obama. Yet, this was unacceptable for some reason. Folks wanted a fight, and they wanted it NOW.
I don't see how this is helping get more votes for your guy.
