It's no mare "immature" to vote or not vote for someone based on lying. This is similar to lying. It's called "ignorance".

Okay that's a first for me. So, if someone is ignorant, they are a liar. Hmmmm. I had no idea that if someone does not understand something, that makes them a liar. I will try to remember that next time.

...(But, you and the other previous posters are certainly IMMATURE because not ONE of you had TIME to read the article, check it out, NOR read my comments before posting your own).

Well, now you are just plain wrong. I read your post completely. All you did in the post was give us information on why you will not vote for Romney because he does not supposedly understand ham radio's position.

So, don't preach to me, until you have educated yourselves.

I had no idea that a one short sentence is preaching. I would say that your lengthy post was preaching to us.

Don't get me wrong. I understand the benefits and position that ham radio has in this country and I may actually add this to the reasons I would, or would not, vote for someone.

But I will also consider taxes, whether the candidate will continue to grow big government, will continue with the pro-active war on terror, will secure our borders, what type of SCOTUS judges will they elect, etc.

But, that is just me.

That's not what I said. Why don't you try actually READING what I said.

Because of this, I will assume "You get it". I never said it was the ONLY reason I wasn't voting for him. You assumed that I think. It's A reason, but it's also an IMPORTANT reason, but again, let me reiterate and state, IT's NOT about ham radio, it's about 1) his ignorance, and 2) his refusal to admit his mistake and 3) his refusal to apologize.

It's PRINCIPLES again, and this is something many people just aren't getting. When you lie to someone and then expect them to vote for you -- then you're just an idiot. When you are IGNORANT and treat someone badly because you're ignorant, that's AKIN to lying to someone. Principles.

Apparently ham operators rock and anyone who feels differently or is not familiar with the fact that ham operators rock, is an ignorant troll that lies.

Apparently there’s a reason a certain social stereotype exists about ham radio enthusiasts.
