With all due respect, you have to ask yourself what is wrong with the 34 percent who FAVOR Obama?
With all due respect, you have to ask yourself what is wrong with the 34 percent who FAVOR Obama? .................................................. The military is not 100% for any party. Look at the the former presidents of our time, Truman, Kennedy, LBJ, Carter, and those who wanted to be like McGovern, and even some former Navy Lt who served in Vietnam along with a pencil pusher who went on an ambush patrol. I have 2 friends who were in the USAF and they are DU types, so 34% doesn’t surprise me.
What a perfect analogy. PERFECT!!!
I might suggest that there is a higher homo percentage in the female vet catagory. Being Homo trumps everything, and perhaps it is the primary reason for their joining, and therefore they vote for Obama.
You mean like the Rasmussen surveys, which have shown Obama at or above 49% approval for more than a week?
As a voting block, how is the Veteran turn-out? I would think that Vets Vote!!! I’m a vet and I vote every election.
Enjoy your 3rd Party!
Enjoy finding out that Romney has zero intention of rolling over to conservatives once he gets in the White House and plays political hardball to keep conservative Republicans "in their place," and enjoy discovering that by letting fear bully you into voting for a statist Republican, YOU contributed to delivering a total progressive statist stronghold on BOTH SIDES OF THE POLITICAL AISLE.
I don't think you sound deranged, actually. I think you sound desperate, like someone who hasn't really thought things out very far.
Truly, are you aware of the things Romney has actually done while in office? Or do you think I'm just making them up?
Are you okay with Republicans pushing state-run health care? YES OR NO???
Are you okay with Republicans pushing the full embrace of the global warming environmentalist tyranny? YES OR NO?
Are you okay with Republicans pushing taxpayer-funded on-demand abortion? YES OR NO?
Are you okay with Republicans pushing the legitimacy of appointing activist liberal judges? YES OR NO?
Are you okay with Republicans pushing legislation that will force people to accept, and punish them if they peacefully reject, open homosexuality in their society, from their kids' schools and Scouting groups all the way up to the U.S. military? YES OR NO?
Seriously, you owe it to your country and to yourself to truly ponder those questions rather than knee-jerking "ABO!" in answer. I assume your answer is "No!" to all five of them.
If so, you must next ask yourself: Why are you willing to vote for Romney if you're against all five of those things?
And you need to really, carefully examine and analyze that answer.
The "derangement" spin you like to put on my take is a self-defense mechanism to justify your doing something you know goes against all common sense: voting FOR arsenic because you want so desperately to get rid of cynanide. And I'm telling you don't vote for either one, vote so that whichever one wins is as diluted and weak as possible. Forcing a plurality win, the lower the the percentage the better, is THE ONLY WAY to weaken either poisonous victor.
If you think my thinking thus is "void of content," you are desperately lying to yourself, and again, need to ask yourself WHY.
With all due respect, you have to ask yourself what is wrong with the 34 percent who FAVOR Obama?

And the 1% who vote 3rd Party and the 1% who refuse to vote because their candidate did not get the nomination.
In years past, 3rd Party was, I think, truly for the "purists" who couldn't tolerate deviation from one or two issues. This time around, however, the Republican candidate deviates -- and has an established record to demonstrate it -- to the far left on FIVE MAJOR ISSUES (state-run health care, environmentalist ecotyranny, tax-funded abortion on demand, the homosexual agenda, and activist liberal judges) against which Republicans traditionally have presented the only opposition. Romney would neutralize that crucial opposition and his "win" would very likely be a death blow to conservatism.
Turn a blind eye to that if you want, but understand that the risk is HUGE when you turn such a blind eye.
In this election, you can vote for cyanide (Obama) or arsenic (Romney) or you can vote 3rd party for the express purpose of diluting whichever poison wins. Remember Clinton's 43% plurality win in '92 and how his watered-down "victory" made him so vulnerable and made conservatives so strong that the Republican Revolution followed two years later.
This is a situation where voting 3rd party is the smartest way to vote -- it's neutral as to influencing whether Obama or Romney wins, but has the power to make that win so watered down and diluted -- a 34% plurality win would be nice, where 66% voted against him -- that the victor enters office as a weakened pariah, and that would be a good thing whether it was Obama or Romney.
You and I have been around here long enough to predict with 99.99% certainty that if Romney wins and conservatives in Congress and out here in America attempted to "hold his feet to the fire," they'd discover pretty quickly that the response in Romney's well-organized power elite would be: "Look, the only reason Republicans even have the White House is because we moderates won, so sit down and shut up, conservatives."
And as Romney plays underhanded political hardball, many elected conservatives would be mysteriously silent, and as they saw the true ruthless authoritarian Romney reveal himself as iron-willed "progressive," all the ABO Chicken Littles who voted for him would be wailing, "But we had no choice!"
And it would be a lie: they DID and DO have a choice, and that is to vote so that whichever guys wins has as weak and tepid a victory as possible and goes into office vulnerable, defensive, and easier to dominate.
Do you believe Gallup ?
At some point, I'm going to be very comfortable with the idea of stripping these useless s.o.b.'s of their citizenship and requiring them to "get on the bus" to Europe or some other socialist realm of their choice.
It's time we split the sheets, before they become a majority. We have the veterans, we have the firearms, and it's time we got firm with these people. It's time we affirmed as a society, that military service, honest work, and patriotism are greater, more important values than being able to get good bagels at 2 a.m. and writing whiny letters to the editor of The New York Times.
Page jerks around so much when they're (slowly) posting up, I can't even read posts -- and it goes on for quite a while.
joe, I don't know why you posted yours twice, or how the exuberant imagery of Manchild supports what you posted -- and 4liberty, I can't even guess what yours was! Not even after checking the image file's properties.
So give us a break, guys.
You 'n me both, Brother FReeper. At the time, I was still on the GOP plantation and voted Republican anyway -- indeed, for the past nearly 40 years I"ve been voting, I have NEVER once voted for a Democrat and ONLY for a handful of libertarians ONLY in very local elections; I have voted straight party ticket faithfully and doggedly. I'm finally accepting the truth that that approach for the past 10 years has been fulfilling Einstein's definition of insanity. If I want to see change, I have to change how I vote.
Frankly, I THANK YOU for being fed up enough, and to have had the courage, to vote for Perot back then, though back then I would have angrily berated you. Your vote and the votes of patriots like you are THE ONLY THINGS that created the important plurality that helped enable the Republican Revolution, which helped America. FRiend, that Republican Revolution wouldn't have happened if HW had been re-elected, nor would it have happened if Clinton had won on a majority.
If HW had won, count on it: the Democrat to have followed him would have been as bad if not worse than Clinton, and Congress would have remained firmly left-bound.
