hurt the most vulnerable while following a different agenda than I can support.

On tv we are seeing what happens when such logic is defied. Absolutely some people (who we may call courageous now, but in fact may just have been alone) are terribly hurt, and even killed. And this may even result in more people being hurt as a only a slightly different dictator may assume power. But the outcome is later, and you cannot resist the will of the people forever...

Even here, where our people used genocide to settle this land, the government told the people that they couldn't fend for themselves, that conditions would be worse, and many people died in the struggle. Yet what rose out of it was a more democratic way of life.

And, frankly, if the votes and policies of the current officials require a few of us have to not get our way of having the word Democrat on the door of the White House for 4 or 8 years, to help teach them that their agenda should be ours and not that of the conservatives, then maybe that is the price that has to be paid.

I am not an apologist for the democrats in office, nor do I work for them. I have specific issues that they damn well will address, including a jobs program and standing up for the most vulnerable. When they don't, no fear-mongering "they is gonna get you if you don't watch out" theory of voting for anyone is ever going to convince me to put an X in the box with the name of people who threw away 30 million underemployed people while funneling money to banks that paid themselves record bonuses in 2010, by an administration that cut funding to prevent people from freezing or burning to death in their homes.
