No games sparky. Show how it is, in detail, that Obama gets tallied for any vote not cast directly for him.

No excuses. Because if he does, that’s election fraud. Now either show the proof of your ‘belief’ or sit silently.

And we all know that obama would never resort to that! lol

THAT is the point and spouting BS about some fantasy that Obama magically gets those votes makes the spouter look and sound like a liberal whether he is or not.

Are you pretending to be stupid or are you really that ignorant? No one says that a vote magically appears on Bozos side of you don't vote for Romney, but it takes away a vote from Romney which means Bozo needs one less vote than he would have in order to win. This was true when Perot split the vote and it is true today. THAT is what people mean when they say voting for anyone except Romney is a vote for Bozo, and it is a true statement. Voting for Johnson means one less vote Bozo has to have in order to win, therefore you are, in effect, giving your vote to Bozo.

I’ve had Romney flacks call me up and quarrel over my phone in a similar way. I wonder how they think they are winning points for their respective masters?

I get calls 1-2x/ week, tell them I’m voting for Romney, and call them “LOSERS!”.

The guy keeps repeating, “We’ll put that down as an ‘undecided’. Thank you, sir.”

LOL! What a bunch of schmucks!

Okay, I still think your vote for the Libertarian candidate will help ensure Obama another four years to carry out all the reasons you cited NOT to vote for him. Your argument went in one of her ears and out the other and all you did was piss her off.

I got an interesting call yesterday! Rigged! A recording, asking who I was going to vote for. From DC. It required simple “Yes/No” answers.
“First question, answer yes or no; Do you intend to vote for Romney?”
I attempted to answer “Yes,” but the space left for the answer was suddenly filled with a series of beeps, like someone dialing the phone. When the beeps stopped, one word, “Obama?” Betcha my “Yes” during the beeps was recorded for Obama. At the very least, there was no way you could vote for Romney!

Curious about the race of the caller. Do you know, or have an "opinion"?

She just sucked a year out of your life. I never argue with liberals.

If you said you’re voting for Gary Johnson to keep that Obamabot clown on the phone, it was a brilliant tactical move.

If you live in solid blue state, and you actually vote for Johnson, you’re telling the national GOP to get their act together and nominate somebody in touch with right-minded Americans, and that actually makes good sense.

But if you live in a battleground state, and you do vote for Johnson, that’s an action that has actual consequences, and they ain’t good.

My brother voted for Perot in 1992. He felt great when he came out of the voting booth.

He felt like crap for the next eight years.

She sounded like a broken record! Clearly, she had no good arguments.

All of the "that's just your opinion" reminded me a scene from Atlas Shrugged.

James Taggert: " There are no absolutes—as Dr. Pritchett has proved irrefutably. Nothing is absolute. Everything is a matter of opinion. How do you know that that bridge hasn't collapsed? You only think it hasn't. How do you know that there's any bridge at all?"

But then that's just my opinion.

Dan, at first blush, you may think it's damning, but you don't know enough Libtards (not Libtardarians, mind you) to really know what was going on.

This woman went into robocall mode. You could have started speaking Spanish and you'd have gotten the same response.

She has a script, she's given latitude time-wise -- listening to you do a check-off list (a mostly good one, mind you) merely delays having to make the next call.

In campaign calling, you get into that third hour and dread sets in, because people interrupted from watching The Voice or smoking a doobie or whatever, go straight into douchebag mode. Since you weren't being a douche, she was content enough to glaze over and let you run with it.

And on to the next call.

I wouldn’t say that I was “patient” - it’s more that I enjoyed the conversation.

I had one call from BHO. I asked them why I should support Obama, and got the “I feel he is...” response.

Just like with me - they prefer feelings over facts.

It’s bad enough that the federal government doesn’t enforce the “do not call list.” What’s even worse is why the credit card companies continue to bill people and give the money to “Rachel” when it’s obviously a scam. I would think that the credit card companies would be opposed to credit card fraud, not in favor of it.

Thanks. The transcript is how I remember it, because I did not record it. The actual call may not have sounded quite so interesting - but that is how it was to the best of my memory.

Anyone who actually watches PBS knows that many of their programs are sponsored by businesses, because they always announce it right before the show begins. That teacher of your was evil, which is a lot worse than being stupid.
