Shodan:
So when he gave a reason to vote for Obama that had nothing to do with policy, you believed him implicitly. When he gave a reason not to vote for Obama that had nothing to do with policy, he must have been lying.
Uh, ok.
Regards,
Actually, no.
I never even realized that he had decided to vote for Obama until his thread announcing that he was no longer voting for Obama. If you’ll look for the threads where he initially discusses his decision to vote for Obama, you’ll notice that i wasn’t in them.
This is the sum total of my contribution to the issue of Bricker ’s voting intentions, taken from the thread in which he announces that he’s changing his mind, and will no longer vote for Obama:
As for the general subject of this thread, all i can say to Bricker is this:
If all it was ever going to take for you to renege on your support for Obama was some unbecoming behavior by some of his supporters, i submit that you were never at all serious about voting for him in the first place. Basically, the reason that you’ve given for withdrawing your support can lead to no logical conclusion except that your so-called support was never honest or genuine.
I’m not at all bothered by your decision not to vote for Obama. It’s clear that McCain’s politics are far more in line with your own, and if i shared your politics i’d probably vote for McCain too.
It’s just a shame that your perfectly logical choice has been expressed in such an embarrassing and self-serving manner. You actually strike me as something like the SDMB’s equivalent of John McCain—someone whom people kept defending as an honest and upright and moderate person, even when they disagreed with you, but who is actually just as selfish and corrupt and partisan as the people he takes to task. You’re just another politician, just like McCain. The only reason you think you’re not in the shit is that you’re so used to it that it’s part of your very nature.
