It’s not that we don’t give credit to anyone else’s opinion… we’re specifically saying that WillFarnaby is a kook. This Ron Paul idolator shouldn’t be considered as “anyone,” as that gives him too much credit.
Shorter OP: “Obama is doing some of the bad shit you’d expect a Republican President to do. How can you bring yourself to vote for him?”
My answer: his Republican opponent would do almost all the bad shit I’d expect a Republican President to do. Plus some other bad shit that would likely take me by surprise. And none of the good stuff I’d hope a Democrat would do.
Meanwhile, Obama’s doing some of the bad shit I’d expect a Republican President to do, and doing (or trying to do) some of the good stuff I’d hope a Democrat would do.
I think that scores pretty easily.
Seconded.
Doesn’t even matter. He asks then gets his ass handed to him so to deflect attention he cries and asks, “Oh yeah, well what about some other unrelated thing”. Wash, rinse, repeat.
What “acts of war” has Obama initiated against Iran?
Not even you believe that bullshit, liar.
Then you should have included Nixon and W in your list; they were far worse in that regard than Lincoln, FDR or Wilson.
This, asshole.
You should stay home on e-day; I will not.
Oh, yes, there is.
I’m just trying to have my own ignorance fought, since we’re apparently at war with Iran.
We’ve always been at war with Iran.
You answered your own question. People aren’t voting for their ideal candidate. They’re voting for their preferred candidate out of two options. How about rephrasing your question:
“Why do you think Obama is better than Romney?”
Then, people will link Obama’s positions and compare them to Romney’s ones.
By the way, I don’t think Obama was the best candidate for President of the United States in 2008. I think Kucinich was.
We’ve got two candidates for Presidency. It quite literally is black and white in every sense of the word.
As bad as Obama may be, the Republicans have done everything they can to assure us they will be worse. It would take the Democratic nominee in 2016 to openly praise Stalin and Castro for their well-run governments for me to consider voting for the Republican, and even then I’d have to think about it.
It’s a race to the fucking bottom, and all most of us can do is try to put the brakes on.
You are the blindest partisan on this board. Or maybe that’s the other guy that starts with L. Either way either you haven’t read my posts or you insist that everyone else must be as partisan as you. That’s a sad life you and Mr. Rove must live.
So, who do you think we should vote for in November, and why?
I mean, the OP is clearly indulging in a bit of political advertising anyway; you might as well join the fun.
Who thinks Nixon and W were great men?
Nobody; though Nixon did have some redeeming qualities (never, ever including honesty).
No, that would be you.
So…you’re not a Republican concern troll? You just play one on the internet?
Face facts. You’re a Republican. You want to dissuade people from voting for Obama. That means you want Romney to win. That means you think Romney would be better for the country.
Which of these statements is incorrect?
Not in this particular case, it isn’t.
And going by your PRATTing contributions to this GD thread, you’re the one whose mind is locked in a partisan box.
