On politics...

[ravan]

In the general election, I'd vote for a wishy washy Democrat like Jimmy Carter over any Republican out there. As long as the Neo-Cons and Religious Reich control the Republican party (and a chunk of the Libertarian party), no Republican, or pseudo-Republican (Barr) will get my vote.

I don't vote for people who advocate my death, subjugation, or disenfranchisement. That is what any anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-pluralism (anti-non-christian) candidate wants. Don't try to tell me that "Oh, it's not that bad" - it is. These people advocate a "Christian" religious theocracy, and "biblical" penalties like stoning and such for homosexuality, unmarried sex, abortion and non-Christian/heretical worship. Oh, the slick, smooth politicians won't say it outside of their carefully screened, fanatically loyal (brainwashed) cells, but their talking head surrogates do.

The shittiest Democrat is still leagues ahead of the best of the current Republican party.

Thank you!

Now if only those, "If my candidate doesn't get the nomination, I'll vote for McCain instead of the other guy" assholes would get the fucking hint, I'd be a happy camper.

Exactly. And I know some conservative/libertarian types and they are batshit crazy and seem fundamentally lacking in compassion for anything but profiteering.

Hey, I'm with you.

I'm also with Susan Sarandon, if McCain wins, I'm leaving the country.

Alright, was already intending on applying for a teaching position in the UK, but it will change how long I am gone...

shit, 8 years is a long time to be away from home.

Bear in mind that Gollum-In-Drag hasn't conceded to Obama, and there's still time before the Democratic Convention for him to have a Tragic Accident or "commit suicide".
