Lesser of two evils.

Anyone who claims they voted for Obama because he was the lesser of two evils, and a lot of people seem to be doing that these days, but voted for him and other Democrats in the past couple of elections is either being disingenuous or a hypocrite.

By the standards being banded around in these criticisms, if a person voted for a Obama or a Democrat, that person has either been "suckered" or "duped."

Well, no one can weasel out of ownership of their vote using the claim that it was a vote for "the lesser of two evils."

It's still your vote, and you have to accept responsibility for the make up of Congress and for electing the President.

What's even more bizarre is the utter outrage from people who claim to have known what they were getting while charging others who have no such complaints with having been duped.

Ever consider that people who don't feel bitterly disappointed by the President and the Democratic Party also knew what they were getting? That they don't feel duped or suckered? That they can handle the fact that they will not agree with every position or action by elected Democrats?
