Mr. Lesser of Two Evils (M'LOTE) was put out his miserable pathetic existence this morning after a long difficult illness that saw his strength decline significantly over the last few months. M'LOTE would visit DU from time to time. Sometimes it was because of the frustration related to a compromise that the President undertook in the face of a transient hostile opposition. Sometime it was accompanied by a malicious troll.
Early this morning Mitt Romney entered the room of M'LOTE who had been in a long time coma for some months and pressed a pillow extinguishing the last ounces of life from his waning putrid existence. Romney then flayed, beheaded, and quartered the corpse and sent it to 4 separate industrial crematoriums with subsequent releases of video tapes revealing what Romney is really about.
Romney made it impossible for any thinking, logical, compassionate person with intellectual integrity to ever again suggest with a straight face that there is any comparison between the basic governing philosophy between the two parties and these two candidates.
In the past it might have been offered with the highest of intentions (or something else) but from now on it cannot ever be offered in any form at DU except as comic relief.
Now should you see M'LOTE pop his head in from time to time, don't take it seriously. It isn't him. He is gone and dead to all DUers. If you see something that looks like M'LOTE you should treat it as some kind of comedic performance art, kind of like a Tony Clifton appearance after Andy Kaufman was long gone.

And as long as "compromise" is redefined as "total capitulation after token opposition".
Romney and Republicans have always been awful, but that does not remove a single knife from my back.

(2,088 posts)Lets say "A" is the "evil of Obama" and "B" is the "evil of Romney". "Obama is the lesser of two evils" would mean "A < B".
Your logic is: Since "B = infinity" it follows that "A < zero". This is false.
OR, what you are implying is: Since "B = infinity" it follows that the symbol "<" can no longer be defined. Also false.
The proofs are constructed trivially using counter examples.

(20,219 posts)At least here at DU I can be fairly free of it, now that the mittster has given us such a cartoonishly exaggerated illumination of the repuke philosophy.
And it ain't pretty.
I'm glad you specified DU, because there are still too many non-political people who remain uninformed and then complain loudly that it doesn't matter because they "all lie". Again, False Equalence thinking, and it drives me nuts.

I do not mourn his demise, because his little ego trips back in 2000, 2004 and 2010 cost a lot of good people their lives. He let W. In, which caused thousands aboraod, and here, to die. His 2004 crap allowed Kerry to get swiftboated, and he is the reason why in 2010, we got in all these fascist Tea Party twerps who have acted as a do nothing congress.
So, if I may, I call for a Grave Dance party:
