Should I, Too, Vote For The Lesser of Two Evils?
by

There is a great piece from a Republican who was for McCain until McCain picked Sarah Palin, he gave permission a CapitolHillBlue to copy it around the Internet, Unfortunately, I am about to do something that I (not to mention my long-dead Great Grandfather, my Grandfather and my dearly departed Dad) would have never contemplated doing, even in their wildest of dreams... I'm seriously considering voting for a Democrat for President for the first time in my life. For many years, I've been a staunch conservative Republican, usually voting a "straight ticket" for all Republican candidates in every election up and down the line. I've also made it a point to do so via absentee ballot from a number of far-flung places on the planet while serving honorably in our country's armed forces. And, yes, as much as I now very much regret doing so, I even voted for our current President back in 2000. However, as many of you who are regular readers of Capitol Hill Blue are well aware, my political leanings these days are far more in line with the Libertarians than the Republicans. But, one thing remains certain...I am absolutely NOT a Liberal! What's more, and as many of you may also know, up to this point in the current election cycle, I've been adamant in my intention to send BOTH the Republicans AND the Democrats (the "Republicrats" as I call them) a strong personal message that the horrifically closed electoral "duopoly" they have collectively spawned in our country needs to be totally reformed. That was...of course...until Mr. McCain chose a totally far right-wing, Pentecostal, moose-hunting "air head" to be his running mate. After doing my best to listen with an open mind to a number of her speeches, I have now arrived at the sobering conclusion that, any way you cut it, Governor Sarah (Golleeee!) Palin can only be described as downright ignorant, and therefore, clearly DANGEROUS! That is, it has become painfully clear to me that her entire life's focus and experiences are so horrifically narrow that she simply wouldn't have a clue about what to do in a REAL national emergency of major proportions. . . . CONTINUED AT CapitolHillBlue * An angry feminist could copy him something like this, "While eating a hamburger, I began thinking of the senseless bloodbath Sarah Palin while so-called hunting Moose from a helicopter. Suddenly my hamburger tasted like Moose, and I think I don't like the taste of Moose-Burger. Maybe if I shaped the patties to be fish shaped they would taste better. I hate to think of all the "Moose" Palin might shoot all over the Latin and Muslim world if she ever got to be President. Maybe even some "Moose-lover" who dared to tell her to her face that Capital Punishment was against what Christ taught. PS this is me, RichardKanePA, paraphrasing a hypothetical feminist I am a male vegie, who thinks abortion policy should be somewhat similar to US policy toward smoking. The following links is my efforts to form "Pro-Lifers Against Sarah Palin's extremism". If I ended it, because of Palin I am ashamed to have protested abortion, it would have been reprinted all over the internet, but that isn't true so if everyone wants such a post they will have to post a hypothetical person to the Internet. |
