You are one of the few posters on here that I respect.
We all vote for who we think, or what we think, is best.
It’s ABO for me. I respect those who follow a different belief. But I’d always vote the R I don’t know rather than the D. Figure our Country at least as a chance with the R and no shot with the D.
Thank you Twink. I appreciate it.
I think your take on it is logical. I understand the reasoning behind ABO. Heck, I’ve voted that way much of my life. Today we exist in an era when I’m not convinced that works any longer. Both sides are so bad.
A lot of folks are hoping that we take the House and Senate this year. I believe there is a chance this may take place, because as I understand it the Dems have more Senators standing for re-election than the Republicans do, and some of them are not solidly re-electable.
Okay, what happens if we do take both the Senate and Congress. If we still have Obama in the White House, we can oppose his treachery. If we have Romney in there, that doesn’t play. Republicans are very reluctant to oppose their president.
IMO, Romney would be able to propose some very lousy legislation and the Republicans would pass it.
I don’t like thinking of it in these terms, but this is the reality we are faced with.
The dynamics are such this year, that I don’t see a valid reason to vote for either candidate. Either way, we’re screwed.
Do I want to see Obama re-elected? Frankly, no. Do I want to see Romney elected? Frankly, no.
Food for thought...
It was my hope that we would loft a real Conservative this year, we would take the Senate, the House, and the White House. Imagine what we could have done with that.
That dream died when Romney won the primaries. It was really the death of a chance for our nation this next four years. It may be the death of it for a full eight years.
