We really need to get rid of the "Daddy's little girl" mentality as it raises women to feel they need to be taken care of, thus they often look to the government for support and as a result, they vote predominantly liberal.
Women need not serve combat roles but there is plenty of room for them in the military to perform other roles.
As an individual that volunteered to serve in Vietnam and as a combat veteran, I've never had much respect for those males that didn't serve their country in some manner.
Deeply flawed perception, there. I'm not against "everything." I'm against voting FOR more and bigger government.
Refusing to choose a candidate and sitting out this election out means you stand for nothing.
Wrong perception again: I'm choosing a candidate -- I will vote for a legit on-the-ballot third-party candidate, and I am doing it most certainly to stand and vote against bigger government. I'll be doing it expressly to use my vote to help in the making of as weak a plurality as possible for whichever BAD candidate, and they are both BAD FOR AMERICA, wins. If Romney has 87% approval among GOP voters, then the GOP has left me and is not my party in any case. However, the reality is that Romney's "approval" is probably nil -- his only attraction is that he's not Obama.
Voting FOR Romney means you stand for making the Republican party the party of Big Government Statism. You can rationalize it all you want, but bottom line, that will mean that that's what you stand FOR.
They need to look more at Romney's record, or more important, THINK about the consequences of voting FOR all what is bad and wrong because they are too afraid to stand and fight what is also bad and wrong, and too scared to see that there is a way to make Obama weak and vulnerable so that he would be easier to fight, and it is a BETTER strategy than avoiding a confrontation with Obama by voting FOR somebody whose RECORD shows that he is just as dedicated to big government liberalism.
I expect you figure that my thinking this way is "disrespectful" of good conservatives who are falling for the ABO strategy. But then, you'll probably once again have no idea what I'm trying to say. *sigh*
You may very well be suffering from Mitt Denial Syndrome. If Hillary Clinton switched parties and I refused to vote for her, you'd be on pretty much the same solid ground accusing me of having Hillary Derangement Syndrome.
Look at Romney's record. He has ADVANCED the FIVE major issues that I and millions of Americans have been voting Republican for decades to oppose. There's nothing deranged about seeing that reality. The derangement is in indulging the desperate hope and illusion that drinking salt water while stranded at sea will do anything but kill you. Thinking Romney will "save" America is like thinking salt water will quench your thirst: delirious delusion.
Remember: What you tell a pollster on the phone, (a complete stranger whos attitude about “Dear Leader, our first black president” you don’t know), and what you do in the privacy of the voting booth with a secret ballot can be two ENTIRELY different things!
Yup...tears on command.
No, veterans are NOT Stupid.
Many of them are so old now, in their 80s, they’re becoming Senile and Scared. They were never stupid!!
Unfortunately, we are only going to have two real choices in Nov.
It’s sort of a choice between communism today and communism next year.
I’ll have to go with the longest period left to fight it.
Once again, you put words in my mouth. Don't do that. You're not smart enough. What I have done is called you out on your hyperbole as you mischaracterize some good conservatives. Does that irritate you?
But ABO folks who know Romney is a flipping liar are so scared of Obama that they'll give their precious vote TO a flipping liar (but hey, he's the GOP's flipping liar!) and tell themselves that he'll come around afterward.
You should find an ABO poster who claims to know that Mitt "will" come around and address your remark to them.
As I was saying, Romney is a liar, with a liberal record.
Obama is an outright tyrant who "will" never come around.
There are ABO folks who think there is a small chance that they will get what they want if Mitt is elected while they know that there is Zero chance that they will get what they want if Obama is elected.
As I said earlier, come election day I will consider that argument when it comes time to decide how I will vote.
Plain and simple for you.
"Get it"?
I doubt it.
The thing that surprises me is that 34% support obama. With
the way he’s treated them, it should be in the negatives!
And don’t get me started on why women like him. He totally
creeps me out!
Faker
Very persuasive.
No, there will be only two real outcomes: Obama or Romney, unless a really exciting and uniting third party person runs and wins on a plurality, a possiblity since both Romney and Obama are loathed by so many in their own parties.
But barring that, you're right in that there are only two outcomes, Obama or Romney. But you're wrong that we have only two choices. WE HAVE A THIRD CHOICE and it is one of strategy.
In 1992, 57% of American voters voted AGAINST Bill Clinton; he won on a 43% plurality, which made him weak and vulnerable and so encouraged limited government conservatives that Clinton got creamed in the mid-terms and the Republican Revolution did HUGE GOOD for America. Clinton was REJECTED by the majority of voters both times he ran, though most people have forgotten that because the MSM has so many people believing its pro-Clinton spin. But Clinton was rejected by the majority BOTH TIMES. Had Perot voters stayed home and made it so Clinton won with a majority, the Republican Revolution would probably never have happened.
Our THIRD choice in November is to vote official on-the-ballot third party (a write-in may well invalidate your entire ballot). Such a vote will be entirely neutral with regard to whether Obama or Romney wins, but it will effectively weaken the winner by making him enter office with, hopefully, a plurality in the 34-40% range, meaning that it is clear to all involved that his support is very weak and that he is politically vulnerable. Our THIRD choice is to vote so that whichever bad-for-America statist wins, has the deck stacked against him on all sides because the majority voted against him.
Well.. Im a Navy Vet and I wont be voting for either of these socialists...
