Makes no difference. “Blame’ is not relevant.
why is honesty so hard? What does it gain conservatives to lie about things? It’s not like telling the truth and stating things factually is a bad thing. Once, we valued that. Now suddenly it’s wrong?
What other ‘truths’ will we soon feel acceptable to twist? And what then separates us from the tactics of those we despise?
Seems like picking nits, but is it really?
I suppose it really depends what state you live in. If you live in Texas or California, vote for whomever you please it won’t change the outcome in your state.
But remember, in 2000 Bush won Florida by what, 600 votes? (I think it was about that), out of the hundreds of thousands of votes cast there.
I think Ralph Nader got about 19000 votes in Florida.
Clearly the Nader voters cost Gore Florida and the Presidency.
601 of them did, anyway.
We all lived through the Florida fiasco and we can tell our grandchildren about it. And of course I’m glad at how it turned out (and it was actually a lot of fun for me at the time. I worked with a lot of political people, diehards for both parties, real Jersey hacks, and my office with Rush Limbaugh playing was ground zero for the endless discussions and old stories that were had. It started out awful, ended up OK, and I have great memories of all the drama.)
But the moral of the story is every vote does count, at least if you live in a swing state.
So I urge anyone here who falls into any state where there is even the slightest chance that one of the other doesn’t have it in the bag to vote for the only person who will be able to get enough votes to unseat Obama, and that is Romney.
so nice phone conversation, but beyond that, you're part of the problem....
Do these people, who insist on voting for a guy who is going to lose, live in swing states?
There’s NO WAY Johnson is going to win.
I don’t agree with Gary Johnson on every issue. But I really, really disagree with the huge growth of the federal government that happened when Bush was President. Also, Obamacare was modeled after Romneycare. I actually would have preferred Ron Paul - it’s too bad he didn’t win the Republican nomination.
Thanks!
I realize that there’s no way that I can prove that this really happened.
Exactly so.
Good for you! I also love having conversations with those environmrntalists who are always asking me to sign petitions.
On the other hand, I really, really with that "Rachel from card member services" would quit calling me.
Yes, I’m Dan. I love debating politics. I’m always happy to talk to political callers - of any political affiliation.
I remember sparring with this one guy on an open discussion site. His responses to everything that was posted were so pat and vapid that I accused him of being a a response-bot - an automated program that auto-generated replies. Then I teased him with every subsequent reply by suggesting how that was precisely what a computer program would say.
Drove him crazy.
(I can’t prove that this really happened either ;-)
That’s just your opinion...
Thanks!
Reality is Obama or Romney is going to POTUS next year.
You can choose to participate in deciding who will be POTUS or you can vote present. There is nothing noble about sitting this one out. Too much is at stake.
Team Kenya does not care who conservatives vote for as long as it is not Romney. They also don’t care why and will happily drive the bus over all of us if they win.
I prefer to stick to the facts. I don’t want to stoop to their level.
What exactly does that have to do with inaccurately stating a proven falsehood as fact?
“That’s all well and good, but the fact is that a vote for Gary Johnson is NOT a vote AGAINST Obama.”
It’s a vote FOR Johnson. You ever hear about actually voting FOR someone?
you know, what is really funny is that not too long ago, this webpage was all about how bad romney is and how we cannot support him. and now, morons like you are trying to browbeat people into voting for him. funny how things work out
