Honest mistake, all is forgiven.
Thank you.............
Honest mistake, all is forgiven.
No vote is a wasted vote. Votes are about more than just voting in someone, its also about making a point. Wish more people would realize that instead of just ALWAYS voting along party lines.
Very idealistic but it still elects Hussein Obama.........Myself I don't belong to a political party so I try and vote for someone whose politics are closes to mine and that is usually a republican............Did vote for JFK and LBJ as well as Senator "Scoop" Jackson as well as Congress man Norm Dicks all democrats........
Yeah, right now it is considered "idealistic". But that is because most people won't vote based on anything but the "lesser of two evils". I don't believe in voting that way because evil is still evil.
I don't view a candidate, or any person, that is not a perfect representation of my personal ideals to be evil, but that's just me.
In this case the term "lesser of two evils" is simply someone that you think will be a bad POTUS/Senator but is still better than the other person. It's not meant to say that they actually are "evil" in the normal sense of the word.
The way I see it, one is just a less perfect representation of my ideals and priorities than the other.
I think I'll vote 3rd party or leave the Presidential election slot blank........ You can do that right?
The difference being that the product you buy won't take away/restrict rights or add new laws to keep rights away or add new laws just because they can.
Many services chosen unwisely will have serious consequences. But please tell me more about the president's abilities to establish laws. I was under the impression that was up to Congress.
He has his say when he signs a law...or veto's it. But besides that we also vote for those in Congress and the Senate.
Yeppers, for whoever we think best represents our ideals and priorities. And a president's veto can be overridden by Congress.
And if neither of the candidates represent our views even 50%?
And yes Congress can veto a presidents veto power. But I have to wonder just how often that is done.....
I checked and apparently in our entire history there has only been 106 times that Congress has overridden a veto. Out of 1484 regular vetoes.

You don't know what job Oberon has. He could be an economist. Don't assume he's some spiteful laborer who just hates the rich. There are plenty of middle-class and even upper-class people who think that the rich should have a bigger burden and who don't contribute enough to society.
For me, there hasn't been an election where one of the candidates didn't represent more than 50% of my views.
I have to wonder just how often we demand it of them?
And how often were representatives voted out of office because of their votes?
It is certainly that way for me this election and happened with me last election.
Going to depend a good bit on Romney's VP, and on how the campaign plays out.
At this point, I'm going to be voting Romney.
If he nominates a VP I just can't get behind, or the campaign just sours me even more on him, then I'll likely either vote 3rd party or write in John Huntsman so I can at least say I voted for who I'd want to be President.
Really? Really? Really? Our you joking? DOn't you know how evil Obama is?
Judging by the results of the poll spaming just might of happened favoring Hussein Obama
How does one spam polls? If the administrators have them set up so that 'guests' can vote, then it is their fault isn't it? Seems for most software, that is simple setting to change. Not sure why any forum such as this would want 'guests' to vote anyway.
LOL Navy....as usual you simply ignore the facts. Do the math. 37 of 46 Obama votes are accounted for thats 82%. Only 26 of 34 of Romney votes or 75%.Judging by the results of the poll spaming just might of happened favoring Hussein Obama
They allow guests to vote in order to help draw them in.
