Why I Will Vote This Election

1 Comment | Posted by matthew on May 6th, 2008 in America, Choices, Election

Because I don’t take politics too seriously.
I sympathize with Ms. Green: there is nobody I really like out there right now.
I am a moral absolutist, an incurable optimist, and purist, and an artist. I deal in complex absolutes and relish it.
Politics is not about absolutes though. Politics is the business compromise.

At the same time, power is not necessarily directly correlated with size. A large organization can run fluidly and freely given good leadership and skilled and [...]

The words of Jeremiah Wright, the wrong words he’s spoken and made a central part of his message for the 20 years Barak Hussein Obama has considered him a spiritual leader, to some, they are truth.
