GOP's Brown wins Mass. Senate seat in epic upset

You can't be serious. Me? Vote...for Obama? What universe is this?



Don't blame me if you insist on putting up an unacceptable candidate.

Sarah Palin is a decent lady, but she's not fit to be President, and I'm utterly at odds with her social conservatism. I will not vote for Sarah Palin, and neither will a lot of independents.


Well you know what they say, a vote for anyone else or a non vote is a vote for Obama so no matter how mych you hate Palin to keep Obama out you have to vote for her if she is the candidate.......
 
She's very socially conservative and I'm very socially liberal.

I will not vote for her.

Bush was a Fiscal Moderate and I am a fiscal conservative but to keep Gore and Kerry out I had to hold my nose and vote for him........Like I said sometimes you have to vote for the lessor of the 2 evils............

What if the Republican candidate for President was Dede Scozzafava or Ron Paul? Would you vote for either of them if they were running against Obama?

I would vote for you before I would vote for Obama......

That's not even close to the same thing.

I am diametrically opposed to her on social issues. I find her stances to be absolutely intolerable.

First of all, she would favor a more socially conservative approach to the administration of criminal justice. This would result in harsher drug, prostitution, and gambling laws, which would disproportionately affect minorities. I, on the other hand, favor the full legalization of drugs, prostitution, and gambling.

She is adamantly pro-life, and I am a lukewarm pro-choicer.

She is vehemently opposed to gay marriage, and I am sympathetic to it.

Basically, we have no common ground on any social issue.

That's not what I asked. Please answer the question.

Would you vote for Dede Scozzafava or Ron Paul if they were the Republican candidate for President?

Again I say to you if she is the candidate and running against Obama who will you vote for then?



I hate to say it sounds to me like your closer to Obama on his social positions so don't vote or vote for him.....If you don't vote then its a vote for him.........Seems to me like you have a real problem if Palin is the candidate....

It’s always humorous to watch the republicans and democrats get all exciting for the rigged status quo.
It’s like watching a puppet show.

I corrected your post.
Politics isn’t some college football game; hell, this is why America has turned from liberty to tyranny…it’s because people have turned politics into some championship basketball game, instead of security individual liberty from the tyranny of the state.
 
It’s now sad to watch the sheep begged to be slaughtered.

Nobody. I'll just sit at home and stew in bitterness.

Obama is an economic authoritarian, and a social moderate.

Palin seems like she'd be a decent capitalist, but she's as socially conservative as they come.

Both Palin and Obama offend my core economic and social principles.

If you don't vote then its a vote for him.........

What don't you understand about this? Palin's social conservatism is irreconcilable with my social liberalism. I cannot compromise those values. I cannot vote for her. If enough people feel like I do, and I suspect there are many, then Obama will win, and it won't be because independents refused to vote for Palin, it'll be because conservatives like you picked her to run for President.

Seems to me like you have a real problem if Palin is the candidate....

Yes. This we can definitely agree on.

Well Obama will thank you because if you don't vote that is a vote for him so at least we know where you stand......You will be voting for the biggest spender in the history of this country.......

Your wrong I will vote for the Republican no matter who it is......Like I said its not really a vote for him or her.....Its a vote against Obama because if he does not destroy this country on this term he surely will do so if elected for a second term............You better think of that my friend........

What is Palin wins? Is my non-vote a Vote for Palin since my lack of vote helped Obama NOT win?

And Obama will likely thank you for putting him up against a lightweight like Palin.

How about Ron Paul?

Like I said its not really a vote for him or her.....Its a vote against Obama because if he does not destroy this country on this term he surely will do so if elected for a second term............You better think of that my friend........

I think Palin would lead us down an equally disastrous path, which is why I won't vote for her.
 
Voting for two wrongs (Democrats and Republicans), doesn't make a right.

Like Ethereal, I'll sit back and watch you all destroy yourselves.
You can light one up while you're watching.

You knoiw its bad for GWB's legacy when the man who once revered him and called him a "Great and Inspired world leader"....now states that he had to hold his nose to vote for him.

At least this shows that there is hope for you Navy....We knew you'd come around sooner or later.
 
Sorry, the scare mongering tactics and intimidating tactics of a man that obviously has no political principles doesn't bother me much and shouldn't you ethereal. This is the same guy that earlier in the thread was celebrating and cheering the fact that a politician pandered to his electorate and was hoping he was lying to th eir face so that he'd be more how he'd want. This is a guy that has just said he's so mindlessly brainwashed by his party that he doesn't care what they say or who they run, he will walk out there like a zombie and cast his vote while trying to intimidate everyone else like a union thug that if they don't dare agree with him then they're "voting for the other side" even though such a notion is absolutely asinine.

Some of us actually give a crap about this country, what it stands for, and have self respect enough to have personal principles that we uphold. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. IF Palin wins and begins to damage this country as ****tily as Obama did with her legion of truth-...er, I'm sorry, birther...-followers at least I'll know that unlike some on here, I didn't cast my vote and say "I support this person doing this". You will to Ethereal.
 
Are we still talking about Brown?
 
Yep, let me connect the dots. Someone was talking about this catapulting Brown to the Presidency, others started saying how Palin would be the better choice, others said no she wouldn't, others said well you are voting for Obama if you woudn't vote for her, others said that's idiotic. So its talking about Brown in the scope of the Presidency. Its page 14 with 500+ posts, minor thread drift is hardly uncalled for. If you want it to be simply about Brown wining hte seat and nothing else this would've been closed and locked 250+ posts ago most likely.

I think the talk of Brown for President is far, far to premature and I'd be more interested in seeing how he actually governs first and if its the same as he campaigned. I'd also would have issue with him experience wise. That said, he'd be leagues more likely at this point to get my vote than Palin.
