Such is the definition of bullshit! You're telling me if I vote for, or against, someone because I disagree with, or fear, their religious tenets, that makes me a hypocrite? Get the fuck out of here, it's called democracy, it's called freedom, don't force me to call sexobon to give you a ten minute speech on the men and women who have given all, to protect my right to use any fucking basis I want in making selection.
Let's see... no, he's half Jew... no, heard he's a faggot... Woman, oh please... not you negro.
Appalling? Yes. Disgusting? Yes. Illegal? No. Hypocritical? Nope, not at all, because the constitutional point of law that nobody can be barred from running, has absolutely no bearing on how or why individuals vote. Wanting the ballot to be open to all, but not wanting certain people elected, is not hypocrisy, it's democracy.
Do you suggest I submit my choices along with my reasons for them, to the ballot approval board, Senator McCarthy?
