It’s always someone else’s fault.
Right.
Your inference that I am not principled and you are is churlish and without any foundation in fact at all.
Further, I never claimed you were unprincipled. I merely pointed out that the factual conclusion that one’s refusal to vote for McCain will, in fact, make it much easier for Obambi to get elected.
You may disagree with that conclusion. Fine. But that statement of a factual conclusion is quite different than your self-defensive and self-aggrandizing whine that I am “blaming a man with principles.”
As I said, just one time I would really like to hear someone refusing to vote for one candidate acknowledging that their refusal helps the other guy get elected. And that they not only know that, they are okay with that because the reasons for their refusal are principles.
That I could respect.
But instead all the Refusniks will say is “It’s not my fault,” “I wash my hands of the whole process because it didn’t go my way,” “On Game Day, I quit.”
Forgive me if I’ve been a little short here, but, frankly, this Refusnik refrain has been sung in every election, yet the lesson is never learned by some.
Even if one’s refusal is based on “principle,” that’s irrelevant to the fact that one’s act has certain effects on the election and, therefore, on the nation.
If you don’t want to vote for McCain, knock yourself out. But at least acknowledge you are not helping in any way to stop Obambi from getting elected.
You are looking for someone to place the blame upon. I have been a part of the Conservative political movement for forty years. I did what I could when I could to further Conservative political beliefs. The fact that the organization I once belonged to is now ridden with a cancerous internal disease is NOT of my doing. That is what I continually fought against.
If Obama becomes President the blame is much wider and much higher up the tree than I have ever been. The fact that the Republican Party leaders have chosen to default on their Oath of Office is not of my doing. Should you be looking in the mirror?
I noticed that you haven’t made any entries on your profile page. Would you care to tell us what country, province or state and city you reside in?
“As I said, just one time I would really like to hear someone refusing to vote for one candidate acknowledging that their refusal helps the other guy get elected.”
I’ll admit it. You also need to admit that not voting for Obama, like most of us here, helps McCain. And that’s more help than he deserves.
