Craig doesn't even realize how much in common he has with North Koreans and his party love. Oh Craig you silly "progressive".

Don't see what your talking about

Think of it this way. The lesser of two evils by itself is evil, but when the choice is between a lesser and a greater evil the lesser evil is the good because it is better. It goes good better best. Any time people use ethics to determine moral value they always chose the lesser evil or the greater good because there is no such thing as perfect good or perfect evil in politics or much else that isn't theoretical.

I vote Democrat, because life is too short to be a douche.

But more seriously, despite the party's flaws, I vote (D) because the party is more closely aligned with helping the less fortunate. Being a white male, I've basically hit the genetic lottery, and can acknowledge the obvious advantages this provides me in life.

Remember folks, money isn't everything, and you only live once.

When they get rid of the electoral college ill vote. And ill vote for the best candidate regardless of party. Being socially liberal and fiscally conservative (on some issues) i usually dont have a candidate that suits me.

I'm a member of the Insert Political Party because, quite simply, I love to insert things; whether it be coins into vending machines or a coupon page into a newspaper.
If this world had more insertions, it would be a better place.

I'm going to take the high road and not mention OP's mom.

Why are you a [independent]? Both primary parties are bought and paid for. They are far more alike than different. System is completely broken and will not be fixed until both primary parties' members leave or die. 3 Sentences.

LOL! White guilt - making Caucasians do stupid things since 1963.

I'm a social liberal because it's the best of both worlds. Respect of the individuals and freedom from liberalism and acknowledge that not everyone is born equal into this world, and that society should do it best minimize this inequality.

And the party I'm a member of nearly doubled our members of the danish parliament at the election the 15th sept. And it looks like we're going to be part of our government, ending Danish Peoples Party's 10 years reign of fear mongering and xenophobia.
