Poll question: Sometimes, you have to choose between the lesser of evils. |
|
Assuming the Republican mob gets another gangster sworn in as president on January 20, 2009, what option would you choose?

5. You're thinking in terms of the first Civil War. Where would the |
|
battle lines be in this one? Or do we just divide every neighborhood up into Reps and Dems and blast away at each other.
It just doesn't seem to be practical.

7. I was joking, of course... |
|
I couldn't shoot anyone simply for their political views. Heck, the conditions under which I'd use my guns for anything other than target shooting would have to be pretty extreme.

6. I think that would be the end of the country. |
|
I think if a Democrat is not elected to the WH in 2008, the whole thing's going to be done. It'll just fall apart.

8. I reject the premise of your survey. |
|
You NEVER have to choose between the lesser of evils. You can always choose not to choose any evils. In fact, I HATE this lesser-of-evils bullshit thinking, because it is directly responsible for the situation we are currently in. Acceptance of this idea has left us with a bunch of wishy-washy corporatist politicians who no longer represent the will of the people outside of an election year (aside from a few shining exceptions, thankfully, but for the most part).
I REFUSE to choose between shit sandwiches to bite any more.
I DEMAND competent and effective representation in government.
And for you, me, the Republic, and the future of the world, these criminals and traitors in office had better be removed, tried and punished, if convicted, without pardon.
Choose what's best, not what you're offered, and make it happen.

9. Okay, I'm sold. But you seem to have left out how we get there. |
|
REFUSE and DEMAND all you want. We've been fucked over for six years now and refusing or demanding has meant nothing to the fascists in charge now, or those who may be in charge in the future.
You said, "Choose what's best..." I'm all ears. Show us how given where we are today.

10. You're still asking for instructions. |
|
I'm not your leader. You might not even like me. Do you want to choose from my options now?
What do you choose now?
What are you willing to demand?
How far are you willing to go to get it?

12. It's A Rhetorical Situation, Not A Prediction. Sheesh, Lighten Up LOL |
|
The OP is just inquiring if rhetorically, we lost in 08, who is the person that you would prefer of all the evil bastards.
Nothing wrong with that premise, and it is quite a lighthearted and innocent poll. Why such anger?

13. I understood the OP without your explanation, thank you. |
|
I also explained my reaction in my post, though you apparently missed it. Great, if useless, critique, though.

14. I Know. I Read The Dramatic Reply. |
|
I'm just saying it was an innocent rhetorical OP and your reply seemed a bit over the top for it, is all.
No biggie really, I just didn't get why such a benign OP got you so righteously rageful is all.

15. I know. You didn't get it. |
|
I'm just saying that I could care less what you think about what I post, and when I feel like sharing my feelings with you, I'll address you directly.

16. Of Course I Got It. And I Responded Accordingly. |
|
And you should care less about what is posted. It's just a message board ya know?
And you did share your feelings with me, and I shared mine in return.
Your original post just came off as a bit dramatic for the tone of this thread is all. No need to get offended at a comment calling it such. It's all good.
