CatherineM Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 I got my absentee ballot sent off. I also got to vote on an amendment against Obamacare and vote against two judges who are judicial activists.

When all candidates hold a position in favor of an intrinsic evil, the conscientious voter faces a dilemma. The voter may decide to take the extraordinary step of not voting for any candidate or, after careful deliberation, may decide to vote for the candidate deemed less likely to advance such a morally flawed position and more likely to pursue other authentic human goods."

Lil Red Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 in everything i've read from the Church, it says you "may" vote for the lesser evil. not that you must.
Aloysius Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 I'm predicting a landslide for Jill Stein. I could be wrong though. It's either that, or a massive write-in landslide for Ralph Nader. I'm pretty sure one of those two things will happen. Be prepared. http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/nader

Nihil Obstat Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon. Going to the candidate's debate. Laugh about it, shout about it When you've got to choose Every way you look at this you lose.

dUSt Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 [quote name='Hasan' timestamp='1350670318' post='2494895'] Obama has a 70.4% chance of winning. [/quote] You are an overly sensitve little girl.

BG45 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 I already voted via absentee ballot, but like Sixpence said, I'm discouraged. Neither is a win for most Americans, most of whom are in the middle. Romney is currently the mouthpiece of the far Right, not believing what he says, and as a result is acting like the wooden puppet he is. Obama represents the far Left. I honestly have no clue who is going to win. All I know is that almost everyone I've talked to has said the same thing, that both of them are lying poo bags.

Obama was on the far left when he was younger but as a President Obama has absolutely and unarguably not been a representative of the far left. Not even close.
