The Conservative Party in the U.K. is farcical. There’s very little “conservative” about them, aside from their name.
I read the British press quite a bit; the United Kingdom Independence Party seems to get bandied about, on the Telegraph and the Daily Mail.
As for myself (I vote permanent absentee through Washington state), I’m voting downticket. For President, I’m writing-in for Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep for VP.
Obama? Romney? Meh. Flip sides of the same coin. And please, don’t start up with the “Obama’s gonna gas all conservatives if he gets re-elected!” or “Obama’s gonna throw conservatives in concentration camps!” Please. Step away from the Alex Jones and Jeff Rense websites. I heard the same twaddle during the Clinton years, and guess what.......he didn’t. I even remember the other side singing the same siren song of crap when W was POTUS.
Obama will be out, either in 2013 (hopefully) or 2017. And yes, the USA will survive even his colossal incompetence. There are no laws that cannot be undone, no constitutional amendments that cannot be repealed.
I get the feeling that if Obama gets re-elected this fall, a lot of folks are going to be needing some serious psychiatric help shortly thereafter.
Oddly enough, I’ll wager that Romney, if he is elected, will employ jihad against conservatives in the Republican Party.
You ought to consider voting for Obama. Otherwise Romney might make it.
