    What I don't get is the overlap between those who love a good carpet bombing and those who get all squeamish at the thought of targeted hits. Is it really just that they feel cheated of the wank quotient of watching things blow up on TV?

    Better question is, when you support a President that we all know signs those executive kill lists, how does it make you feel that you compromised the life of another human being without due process, just because you're incapable of voting for someone that supports civil liberties and the fucking Constitution.

    Check the letter next to their name. If it's an (R) then killing brown people is a moral obligation from God. If it's a (D) then it's "wrong."

    What's your alternative? A dictatorship? Anarchy? I'd love to hear it, except I'm sure it doesn't exist.

    that's not the compromise I mean. It is the voter who has to compromise in selecting from imperfect candidates.
