Reply #91: I might hold my nose and vote for them...but [View All]

[Douglas Carpenter]

I agree that the current Republican leadership is something straight out of a Kafka novel. And when all is done and said--I will almost always vote to defeat the most awful candidate--unfortunately, in these trying times that may mean voting for almost any Dem. in a general election.

But, it is not ideologically dogmatic to oppose dangerously irresponsible militarism that threatens the future of humanity. Nor is it insistence on philosophic purity to be outraged with economic and trade policies which transfer wealth from the most powerless to the most powerful--wrecking the lives of ordinary Americans and plundering the third world--enriching the most privileged while driving the desperate into hopelessness.

It is simple intellectual honesty to oppose such madness--even when it is being promoted by some Democrats.

But, as I said, I will in final analysis vote to defeat the most awful-when that is the only option left.
