Keely will not be voting Democrat or Republican since she opposes the exploitation of a tragedy for political gain.<br> <br> Two quick points:<br> <br> 1) Democrats knew about this tragedy of a 50 year old hitting on a teenage boys and said nothing for a long time in order to get the media exposure closer to the election time. You don't think they JUST discovered this coincidentally days before the national election?<br> <br> 2) Democrats are running ads like this to win elections:<br> <br> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr3ZA4qeZ0M<br> <br> (If this isn't exploiting tragedy, what is?)<br> <br> So people have three choices this election:<br> <br> 1) Vote for a party that exploits youth<br> 2) Vote for a party that exploits abused youth for
political gain<br> 3) Vote for neither political party and vote for a third party or independent.<br> <br> Which is the MORAL thing to do?
