Don't vote for evil.

[Dissent]

When will these mental midgets realize the difference between ISOLATION and NON INTERVENTION? My guess is never...to dumb to realize the difference.

Lets try a little exercise:

Hitler: Evil
Stalin: Evil
Pol Pot: Evil
Obama: Wrong, not Evil
Bill Clinton: Long Island "3" chasing hordog, not evil
Nancy Pelosi: Typical leftist idiot, not evil.
Bush II: Big government Republican, not evil
Romney: Quasi-Rhino, not evil
Ron Paul: Isolationist libertarian nutter: not evil
Dennis Kucinich: Far left socialist idiot, not evil
Evil Knevel: Not really evil
Dr. Evil: Working on sharks with "lasers"

Cheney was/is as evil as they come these days.

Not even close to evil. Really, if you need to make up people who differ politically from you as evil, I suggest you step away from political debate, or at least look at your own viewpoints again.

People can be wrong without being evil.

If you don't put war profiteers in the evil column then you set a pretty high bar.

Exercising all by yourself with your own opinions, your own scale, and your own set of rules.

That isn't exercising, it's masturbation.

and defining down evil makes the term meaningless. If you equate differing political opinions being done through non violent government action as evil, then what do you call real evil?

Obama is not evil. Romney is not evil. They have no evil capes, or secret lair, or massive death machine apparatus to slaughter us all.

Get a grip please.

You are the one talking about capes and lairs and death machines and you tell ME to get a grip.

The title of this thread has the word "evil" in it. Also, I have heard the term "voting for the lesser of two evils" batted around here a lot. I have used it myself. You want to use another word? How about "corrupt"?

All votes for politicians are votes for the least corrupt among them.

Better?

Give me a specific example of a war profiteer.

Much better.

My gripe is with the lowering the bar on evil actions. We keep calling people who just disagree with us evil, it makes compromise impossible and weakens our defenses against actual evil.

All votes are for the lesser of evils. Some people running for office are just less evil than others. Government is evil and the reason for that is because the politicians who make it up are evil. There are no good politicians, there are only evil and less evil.

I disagree. Well... Kind of.

All votes are for the common good. Some people running for office are just less about the common good than others. Government is for the common good and the reason for that is because the politicians who make it up are for the common good. There are bad politicians, there are only more for the common good and less for the common good.

Both say the same thing, except the first one suggests that it's not possible to have a government worthy of being proud of. I don't believe that should ever be the case, although I'm not feeling a whole lot of pride now. I am working to change it to something that I can be.

Government is inherently evil. The founding fathers knew this and designed a government with checks. Over the two centuries the politicians have worked to declaw the rules and bypass the checks. You cannot design a governmnet where the men who aspire to run it can not become corrupted by it's power.

Yes. I agree. However taking power takes much longer than removing it. Many of the problems we have is because of what you describe. Which candidates were working to remove government power? Which ones were trying to circumvent it?

I admire your optimism though.

No choice. Either it will be done the politically correct way, or there will be war. Politically correct should always be tried first.

Being a war contractor> start a war> turn it into an open-ended occupation> make it as big and expensive as possible>start another war and occupation> make it as big and expensive as possible> set it all up to go on forever with no real oversight of no-bid contracts> Profit.

It is quite clear at this late date that we would have probably never gone to Iraq if not for him and lord did he and his friends (the only clear winners in this war) make an unholy pile of cash off of it.

Grow up Drama Queens. Neither Guy is Evil.

yes, but if infowars says it... it must be true.

why is this messed up thread in politics and not conspiracy theories.

i guess only legitimate news articles go into CT.

"Evil" spelled backwards is "live."

Ever think of that?

Grow up Drama Queens. Neither Guy is Evil.

No but some of their owner's are.

Like, Kochs, Adelson, Bush's Brain, Norquist.

They do not have our best interests at heart and they DO own Rmoney, LyinRyan and the GObP/pubpots.

Make no mistake, what the one percenters care about is money and we are their servant bitches.

Machiavellian manipulation of the political structure of a nation without the public risk of elected office has always been considered evil, unless they happen to be republican that is.

And "oooh" spelled backwards is "hooo." Some people might think that is a coincidence.

Drone bombing innocent civilians isn't "non violent government action."

Yeah. Anyone who looks favorably on Chavez is an America-hating douchebag.

You say this then jump on someone else because you hate Obama...I see no difference...try thinking for yourself instead of hating who the MSM and government tells you to hate...

Well, ain't you just a big ol' bucket of retard.

I don't hate Obama, moron. I disagree with what he's doing. It's damaging America, and the results back me up.

Maybe you should try thinking for yourself instead of hating who the MSM and government tells you to hate.

But I don't expect you will.

Cheney was/is as evil as they come these days.

Like "racist", "torture", and "liar", leftists are working hard to make the word "evil" utterly meaningless.

You don't like Cheney. Whoopty shit. But putting him in the same class as Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot is just fucking stupid.

Moron.

How many times have you personally used the phrase "This has legs! Bush is TOAST!!"

Just trying to accurately gauge the extent of your moonbattery.
