Thread: Presidential election poll

It's just not worth my time, because of your inability to comprehend the most basic of concepts.

The only faction of the Tea party that is still left is the extreme social conservatives, and that is NOT what we need. We need liberty and justice for all. Extreme social conservatism is the opposite of that.

It's going to be so much fun in your household when he gets older and starts arguing with you about how libertarian ideals are the only solution to our problems. Your head will explode. LOL.

Anybody remember when Pat Buchanan and the Reform Party got Federal funding ?

Also, in 2008 Barack Obama was the first candidate to ever turn down Federal funding for the general election.

For this 2012 election, both Obama and Romney have turned it down, the first time both major party candidates have done so.

I'm so fucking sick of this ridiculous argument made every 4 years by people afraid to vote FOR a candidate actually qualified, rather than AGAINST some supposed lessor of 2 evils. If not now, when? You're doing nothing but perpetuating the status quo. If 4, 8 or even 20 years ago, we'd started voting for non Dems & Reps, we'd actually be electing them by now. Is it a vote of conscience or a horse race? Are you wagering and therefore have a financial interest in voting for the winner?
Dems & Reps have been running the show our entire lives, they are solely responsible for the mess this country is in.
This time it's far too important to keep doing the same stupid shit that got us into this situation.

my family tree is full of dumbass rednecks and arrogant upper middle class pricks and not one of them has ever been stupid enough to go libertarian. my kid will know more than they did and more than i do before he finishes high school. i expect him to be honest with himself about relationships between people and power.

and since libertarians are as intellectually dishonest and self-serving a bunch as there is, i don't see it happening. but even if it does, my head won't explode. i've watched an entire population live in cognitive dissonance most of my life. i trust he will find his own way. i didn't have a kid to brainwash him into being a younger version of me.

I almost always vote 3rd party for the reasons you site.
This is a unique election.
Obama MUST lose.
It's not about my ideology prevailing this time.
It's about Obama's NOT prevailing.

Good to see you back in top posting form. Romney is gonna lose. You know it, and the desperation is coming through in your posts.
