Just curious, when you posted this, what was your purpose in doing so? Did you actually think it would change anyone's mind or affect anyone's thinking in any way besides adding to the annoyance of those who disagree with your brand of politics? Or were you just wanting to stir the pot and get people riled up?


It was because three people asked me the same question in about fifteen minutes... This should answer everyone.

Why are you asking?

What question was that? Sorry, I don't stalk you like Woodruff does so I don't know what question people are asking you. I'm asking because I'm genuinely curious what you hoped to gain by posting that. Would it at all influence your voting decision if you read a post by someone that said:

I don't follow, but honestly, everyone, I have not slept in 10 days....4 hours a night tops, many nights 2 hours. Feel free to rephrase. I am going to take a bath now, something I have not done in probably 7 years. I am even going to add some bubbles and Alibabba aroma therapy.

The answer you seek may be as simple as me publicly coming out of the closet that I am voting for Mitt Romney.

yes you have asked, yes I have made threads (plural) about it. I named at least 5, others have discovered many more.

#1 Romney is not a Marixt :twisted:

If I may, please let me ask first. Why is it not as simple (for me) as..."which is better concerning the Tea Party? Romney? or Obama?"

Who can work with Congress to pass a budget? Regardless of who controls Congress? What is Obama's track record here? both when he had Democrat Majorities, and when he lost the house, but still has the Senate?

I believe Romney will work with Congress to pass a budget. My hopes are the Tea Party will win Congress, and finish kicking out all the BS Republicans.

Vote for Gary Johnson then. Get your tea-party buddies to vote for him. Get 99%ers and OWS-activists to vote for him.

You probably consider me a liberal, I consider myself a liberal and think you've got the definition of "liberal" ass-backwards. I consider myself further to the left than Obama is by any measure. And yet I find myself agreeing with the libertarian Gary Johnson's positions far more than with most of Obama's.

"Romney is not a Marxist/Fascist (implying Obama is)." Debunked for many, many reasons in this forum.

"A vote for Romney is good for the Tea Party [presumably better than Gary Johnson]." Debunked as well. Romney does not know the political affiliation of his voters and will see the win as a full-on endorsement of his policies, which certainly aren't libertarian policies. If a Johnson turnout causes a Romney loss, the GOP will realize there is a significant libertarian movement that they must either work with, disregard or actively suppress. And if Johnson get 5%, the libertarian movement will have a very real chance at winning in 2016.

"Romney has a better record of bipartisanship and working with Congress." Debunked. Romney in fact is known in Massachusetts for having vetoed an insane percentage of regulation and having a just as insane amount overturned. He wants what he wants and nothing more.

"Romney has a better set of policy positions than Obama." We haven't seen five differences in policy positions posted on this forum (being a fascist, even if true, isn't a policy position). Therefore, until five significant policy position differences are presented and in those five differences we see that Romney's positions are better to you than Obama's, this is debunked too.

"Romney is not Obama, and is the only one who can win now (in other words, waiting for a very real 2016 presidential chance from the Libertarian Party is not worth it." Really? How long have you been fighting for Ron Paul to win the presidency? Four years and a legitimate chance at a third party is too much? This is debunked as well, since "Romney isn't Obama" hasn't been proven true in terms of policy.

I would consider Johnson, but I don't think he's tried hard enough. Why did he drop out of the Republican primary debates after only the first one?

I have done a lot of work for Ron Paul, I would rather write his name in than vote for GJ, except they do not even count the write in votes, so I would not bother wasting the time with a write in.

Plus, Obama is bad for America. Bad for our debt, bad for our culture, bad for bringing people together, so bad he could not even pass a budget, with Democrat majorities in Congress.

I want a budget. Voting for Obama or Johnson will not get that achieved. Voting for Romney I think there is a very good chance he can get it done, plus, I really like Paul Ryan. He isn't true blue Tea Party, but he did help pave the way.

I'll open with the first wager (which would only apply should he win): 12 months of premium for Phatscotty if a Romney/Ryan budget passes the house in at least one of his first four years. 12 months of premium for GreecePwns if four years pass without a Romney/Ryan budget passing.

This is negotiable.

Yeah, the GOP fucked my guy over, but we live to fight another day. It's still either Romney or Obama

I try not to get too emotionally involved with the politics of winning the nomination, as just about every politician will do whatever they can to win. It's not like I'm never going to vote again or dropping out of politics because of the Convention.

The Tea Party and Libertarian candidates still have a lot of work to do to get a majority in the Republican party in the House of Representatives, and hopefully the cocoon laid in 2011 will become a beautiful butterfly in 2013.

I will take great pleasure in seeing Boehner cry just one more time...

Call it whatever you want. We made our move in 2010, resulting in the largest victory since 1938 was a great start, and we are going to attempt to follow through in 2012.

I'm not a quitter just because the candidate is not perfect in every way. I'm all in

I'm not a Romney fan. I just acknowledge that Romney is better than Obama.

By "we", I mean the Tea Party.

I agree there is no such thing as a perfect candidate. Voters have to pick which one best represents their views on issues, and deal with the reality that they will not do everything the way every person thinks they should do it, because that is impossible.
