Lil Red Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 in everything i've read from the Church, it says you "may" vote for the lesser evil. not that you must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloysius Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I'm predicting a landslide for Jill Stein. I could be wrong though. It's either that, or a massive write-in landslide for Ralph Nader. I'm pretty sure one of those two things will happen. Be prepared. http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/nader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon. Going to the candidate's debate. Laugh about it, shout about it When you've got to choose Every way you look at this you lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG45 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I already voted via absentee ballot, but like Sixpence said, I'm discouraged. Neither is a win for most Americans, most of whom are in the middle. Romney is currently the mouthpiece of the far Right, not believing what he says, and as a result is acting like the wooden puppet he is. Obama represents the far Left. I honestly have no clue who is going to win. All I know is that almost everyone I've talked to has said the same thing, that both of them are lying poo bags.

Obama was on the far left when he was younger but as a President Obama has absolutely and unarguably not been a representative of the far left. Not even close.
