>I will take a picture of Obama with me in the voting booth. That might enable me to pull the lever for Romney, my last choice among repubs.
I think this is the ultimate choice we have to make. You may not decide to vote for Romney (thus not canceling someone else’s vote for Obama) BUT PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD VOTE FOR YOUR LOCAL REPUBLICANS. Even if you let Obama win, gridlock the country for 4 years.
I don’t trust Romney either, but if he is all we have I WILL vote for him. NOT VOTING FOR ROMNEY IS A VOTE FOR OBAMA. That is what I WILL NEVER DO!
How are we supposed to know not to go there if you won't tell us what it is?
Que?
You have my deepest respect, my brother.
Thank you.
You’re telling Freepers not to go to a “certain site”, but you won’t name the site.
If you don’t want to mention it in the clear, whisper it in a FReepmail.
I find it amusing how people always say this to the people who are, actually, paying the most attention of anyone out there.
Write in Palin for POTUS 2012!
Well, no, I’m not telling anyone not to go; I’m advising of a threat and suggesting they keep it in mind.
I’ll Freepmail you. Most people seem to know it already, and they don’t need free advertising from me.
Actually, it's not. There are plenty of Californians wondering why they wait so long to vote.
Indiana, North Carolina, West Virginia, Oregon, Arkansas, Kentucky, Texas, California, New Mexico, S Dakota, Nebraska, Montana, and Utah all beg to differ with you.
That's somewhere around 600 delegates, all of which is again proof that the primary system stinks.
I would favor a system wherein each congressional district elected a respected, elector, him or herself presidential caliber, and then all the electors would gather in a "presidential conference" and they would then caucus and vote to determine the party's nominee from their midst or from some stellar nominee not in their midst upon whom they agree.
This is similar to the method the Founders envisioned the presidential election taking place. (It is visible in the Constitution.)
Time to quote your own tagline to you:
"By the way, Ted, voting for Romney is voting stupid."
This is a huge point. If Romney's in the White House, it allows him to define "conservative", or more precisely, to redefine it according to the pleasure of the GOP-E, the way Bush 41 did, and to redefine us as crankers, soreheads, and most of all, losers -- us, the heirs and grateful sustainers of our ancestors' vision -- and break us to choreboy in the house our fathers built.
Nice. Just to be clear, I wasn’t be sarcastic at all. Even in a state like Texas, I would never expect a city as large as Houston to vote Republican.
I’m glad to hear this Jim. And hopefully, you’ll reconsider, hold your nose, and pull the lever for Romney. Our first goal must be to send O packing, IMO.
I just made a contribution, but by all that’s holy, I’m going back and DOUBLING IT! Stay well. We need you.
And we need each other...
Um ... you mean that saying something is stupid is the equivalent of hate and rage? Is that what you’re saying?
I'm sick of having my primary vote be purely symbolic.
The primary system is badly broken, we need to fix it.
Got it... thanks for the warning!
Don’t mention it!
