1. That is like choosing what will make you more dead, poison or getting hit by a bus

3. She's a hawk but she's not conservative
Her voting record is nearly identical to Obama's.

5. That sort of begs the question - what's worse -being a hawk or being conservative?
I would say in this climate being a hawk is a bit more destructive than being a conservative.

7. Hawks limit their damage to the military and the national debt
while conservatives fuck up everything they touch.

Conservatives are worse, hands down. They're the reason we're in this mess. They are incapable of extricating us from it.

11. I agree that Conservatives are more far reaching
But if the Hawks get their way and we invade Iran or Syria, that would be devastating for this nation - as bad as the conservatoids are on the economy - that would be worse I think.

It's like having pnumonia that effects your whole body versus having cancer of the brain - well either one is bad, but cancer of the brain is worse - even though it doesn't effect the whole body.

9. blame
Obama supporters have blamed the Clintons for NAFTA, Welfare Reform, the death of Affirmitive Action, etc. I don't see Obama calling to bring back or reverse any of these programs.

13. I don't, either.
In fact, I find both candidates to be flawed.

It's going to be another year that I vote against a horror instead of for someone.

4. Doesn't That Depend on the Definition of Conservative itself?
Today's conservative movement is more of a cultural-political-religious movement. "Conservative" used to mean something quite different before fascists high-jacked it.

6. Yes. It either means more like a Republican or
like a Democrat.

I'm not sure which.

8. I'd Say more like a Republican
unless you are reffering to the DLC... then the same applies.

10. That's what I used to think.
But small government, privacy rights, fiscal responsibility, minimal taxation, the rule of law, conservation... Dems are far better in these areas, aren't they?

12. This is True... very True
"conservative" just doesn't mean anything in regards to the "right wing" or Republican Party. I think we should use this....
