[Peace-discuss] Tim Johnson / killing people

[Jenifer Cartwright]

Well, the right-wingers are framing this as an election against Obama, and the MSM (of course) is going along w/ them... So no surprise that the nay-sayers on this list are falling into line behind them as well... I would also argue that choosing the lesser of evils can be seen as a vote against the greater of two evils, and that it's our responsibility to do that (hoping that we all agree on 1) this principle, and 2) which candidates we must therefore vote for... )
Can we agree that things have become worse (Citizens United) and can become even worse if the elections go to the Greater of Evils?? It continues to bother me that those All or Nothing Purists who are Taking A Stand and Voting Their Consciences have the luxury of doing that -- rent and utilities has been paid on their Ivory Towers, no problem, and they have zero empathy for those who are affected by losses to the greater of evils, so long as their consciences -- publicly flashed -- are squeaky clean.  --Jenifer

We might note, for the sake of clarity & mental balance, that it is 
impossible to vote AGAINST anyone, & that the demon Obama will not be 
on the ballot, so it is likewise impossible to vote for or against him,  
whatever one's doctrinal or ideological fervor.
