I'm sorry, but anyone that votes for Obama after the past 3 and 1/2 years is a moron..... Anonymous2000 Send a noteboard - 12/08/2012 03:30:47 AM
A complete an utter moron.

I'm not saying you have to vote for Romney or any other candidate, but voting for another 4 years of failure is ridiculous.

I am proud to say that I didn't vote for anyone in 2004. Don't be afraid to sit one out if the only option is to vote for the least bad candidate.

it could possibly be the "all or nothing" budget fights and gay marriage among other things moondog - 11/08/2012 08:19:11 PM 926 Views
Yeah, I forgot the Dems are very enlightened about gay marriage now for what? 2 Months? Isaac - 11/08/2012 08:59:17 PM 983 Views

Candidates have to earn my vote - I'm not a slave like you to the 2 party system. Anonymous2000 - 12/08/2012 04:24:02 AM 991 Views
Who said anything about the two-party system? Joel - 12/08/2012 04:29:36 AM 817 Views
No offense intended, but voting third party is as stupid as not voting. Aemon - 12/08/2012 04:42:28 AM 1075 Views
I strongly disagree. Joel - 12/08/2012 05:11:52 AM 917 Views
I'm with Joel on this. There's a big difference between voting third party and not voting. Legolas - 12/08/2012 07:31:29 PM 988 Views

Usually only in degree, not kind, though I mostly had the former in mind. Joel - 12/08/2012 07:27:54 PM 950 Views

Medicare worked for 50 years and SS for 80 because most people were DYING before 65. Anonymous2000 - 12/08/2012 04:29:26 AM 769 Views

Makes sense for you. You are Romney's target audience. Aeryn - 13/08/2012 01:19:26 PM 839 Views
