Once again Doug makes some very good points in his economic analysis and, for a change, the host actually does a pretty good job with his comments & questions. I’m starting to like this guy.

But Doug really stubbed his toe with this miscue: “You shouldn’t vote. . . Its’ rare anybody votes for anybody, you’re trying to choose the lesser of two evils.”

Doug falls down pretty hard here with that statement (maybe he’s coming down with the “biden mental syndrome”). He’s actually suggesting that people actually don’t vote enthusiastically for someone, or vote for a candidate they really like & support, and that they always play that tired old game of voting for the lesser of two evils.

If you ascribe to that theory, I’m sorry but you’re either ignorant or very naive, and here’s why. I can assure you that those who feast at the govt pig trough (at lease ½ of the entire country) will go to the polls and vote for every democratic candidate they can find on the ballot. And they’ll do it as if their life depends on it. These people are the ones who donate money to the donkey Party who promises to ensure them that their gravy train subsistence continues ad infinitum, and they do it with abandon. Does the reality of that situation suggest that they even consider voting for the lesser of two evils. Not.One.Bit.
