I for one have no comment on Roberts. I don’t know him, and I can’t tell you if you should vote for him or not.
In response to your insults on those who have been here so longggggggggggggg. I have a few things to say myself.
You sound like a very Gullible person with a Mob mentality that is not based on experience or wisdom. Those who have been here since the 90’s have seen your type- Heck even been your type in the past. We have seen all these Heckle type threads and been around the emotional merry-go-round. And one thing we have that you don’t have is a view of the past and the wisdom to know where these roads lead. When you have liberals disguised as republicans then you can either take the loss now. Or you can take it in multiples later. The same way the economic system in this country is going to blow soon. Because we chose to take no pain to clear the system(And run up extrem debt)- We are going experience extreme pain later.
Voting for the lessor of two evils does not bring you good if all your choices are somewhat evil. What it does do is cause a disintegrating condition in government, and it assures that your next choices will be even more evil. You won’t be able to stand up and say give us someone good or lose. After all you got who you voted for.
Yep- seen your argument for years. And the “once they are elected they will change” argument as well. Nope- You vote for those with destructive policies and that is exactly what you will get. I was suckered in more than once by those arguments and every time I regretted it. It has always been the GOP strategy of decline. You must be a Rove fan.
Your policy can simply be compared to the boiling water- frog scenario. It would have been far better if Americans could have experienced in a sudden and shocking way what this evil would do their country. Then they would have demanded different choices wile they still could feel the change. We would be in a far better position then we are right now. Right now we have a country full of people who have no ideal what they have even lost. People who will keep buying the lie that the people who claim to be able to fix the system are not the ones who have actually destroyed it.
Before you start calling those who disagree with you Fake conservatives then you might want to think a little deeper than just repeating the same old propaganda.
Thanks for the thought out response.
It does confirm all I have been saying about defeatism and nihilism.
And a bit of fanciful thought in creating a straw man.
Your attitude simply would have brought us Al Gore as President when 911 happened.
You expect perfection among humans and within a human created system.
This is why you are disillusioned and fearful. And why you try to make others share your defeated spirit.
You expect too much out of politics and politicians and do not understand they are just reflections of us and our weaknesses.
You expect them to be our champions and saviors when they never will be.
It is an imperfect world and system. The only thing we can hope for are small differences for the better in our politicians.
Politics is base, dirty and impure.
You seem to naively trusting and respectful of politics and what it could do while simultaneously cynical and bitter, believing in nothing.
