Does this mean that I live in the dark grey area?

Dear Saucy Cynicism:

I will start the revolution with you. Where do I sign up?


I am mostly happy to be voting for Obama, mainly just because of the fact that he is not an over-the-top, power-and-money-hungry, ancient republican. I truly feel that with Oldie McLameAss and Sarah Pee in charge, we can assure ourselves another four(+?) years of hell on earth. Electing B.O. would guarantee we'd at least be moved out of the firey pits where we are currently burning and into purgatory... waiting out judgement to either screw it up YET AGAIN, or perhaps finally make some progress in this country.

B.O. is in no way my ideal candidate. My ideal candidate would value all as equal, not just give everyone their deserved rights. (There are other reasons, mostly having to do with religion, but that's a whole other blog post.) I do think having a black man, and a woman running this year offers the people of this country a lot of hope for potential progress. But their race and gender in no way automatically make them the best possible candidates. However, right now, I'll take what I can get if it means getting the Bush family out of the white house!

So for the time being, I will continue to consider myself a democrat in the sense that I lean to the left, sometimes very far, sometimes not so far, but mostly that way, and like you said, until this two party system ceases to exist, I will continue to align myself with, and support the lesser of two evils.
