> [@Discordia](#): > > I hold the people who voted for the National Party (aka apartheid) in contempt, why on earth shouldn’t I? They’re racist pieces of shit. It’s an extreme example, but there is certainly a line that if a party crosses it and you vote for them anyway, you are contemptible. People just differ on where that line is. Start a thread. Quit mucking up this one. ---

> [@Scylla](#): > > Take this bitch down. Rather well written post edited by me to remove excess drama. Seriously. Knock it off. Grow up. Vote on the damn issues. Don’t like the loudmouths? Ignore them. Voting against them because of their personalities only feeds them anyways. How is this a hard concept to grasp? ---

[QUOTE=Scylla] We’ll all win. I don’t like McCain. I don’t like what he did. I won’t vote for him. I will vote against you though if you stand with her and those like her. Oh, and I almost forgot… Take this bitch down. [/QUOTE] I’m an Independent, jerk. Wallow in your hissy fit until you feel whatever it is you need to feel. So now you don’t like McCain, the desperate power whore. That’s…really nice and all. All righty then. But only if, _huh_? Posters on an internet message board have to really denounce me, ‘take down the bitch’, lather, rinse, repeat, because _then_ it’ll be, well, okay for you to vote against political sleaze. Because I point out that McWhore’s latest outrage, his cynical lies against Obama about sexual predators, is just more of the same obscene neocon tactics for the past 8 years. You know, that some people, uh, really didn’t like even then. In fact, we disapproved. Of actual candidates’ actions, not stray internet chatter. ::blinks:: So–per your tantrum–your vote in the presidential and vice-presidential races are actually hostage to the actions of total strangers on a message board. Okay, _whole_ new level of stupidity plumbed. Could not make up dysfunction this ridiculous. I’m out of this thread because **HarbourWolf** and **DianaG** have a point. The real focus of the thread should be McWhore’s latest outrage, not specific posters’ requirements to sell their votes. ---

A request from me, and, I think, a great majority of posters here: SHUT THE FUCK UP Jesus Christ ALL of you are pathetic. ---

If I have not been perfectly clear, the entire point of my ire at Bricker and those like him, is directly related to the slimy, despicable ad in the OP. I want them to know that when they enter that voting booth and punch the hole or button for John McShame, that _this_ is the pigfucker they’re voting to saddle us with, and maybe, just maybe, throw up in their mouth a little bit as they do it. I want them to be ashamed of themselves. ---

I guess this is proof that when you give up your humanity and become a hate-bitch, you lose most of your intelligence. I have to explain things over and over to Hentor because he’s too stupid and hateful to get it the first time. You too? The problem, Hate Bitch, is that you are mainstream. It’s not just you on a message board there is a very large element of the left that is growing that shares your sentiments. That is full of hatred towards me and people like me. I ain’t voting for a party that hates me, and thinks I’m evil, and doesn’t respect my beliefs. I don’t care if you call yourself an “independant,” or a banana. To me, you read “Left wing nutjob, psycho hatebitch.” For as long as you and the rest like you are lined up and accepted on Obama’s side of the aisle, I ain’t coming over. As bad as what McCain just said, you’ve said far worse. You are far worse. He may ot have an excuse, but he at least has a reason: He wants to be President. As far as I know, he may not have anything personally against Obama, just you know, the ends justify the means sort of thinking. As shitty and scummy a reason that is for his behavior, it’s better than anything you got. You are full of hate just for the sake of it. You suck, Hate Bitch. The punishment and the irony is that if Obama loses it’s going to be because people like you prevent people like me from crossing over. Okay, _whole_ new level of stupidity plumbed. Could not make up dysfunction this ridiculous. I’m out of this thread because **HarbourWolf** and **DianaG** have a point.

I strongly suggest you vote the way I tell you to. It’s futile to resist. The Diebold is going to register the vote the way we want it to, just like it did in the last election.
