BTW, the analogy presented by presidio is valid if you were comparing the purchases of Coke with other soft drinks of similar nature, with a given background purchasing populace who will choose either coke or any other soft drink. Ridiculing an analogy because you don't like the stark truth contained therein is an alinsky tactic, if you didn't know already.

Valid? I believe that the example violates both the category fallacy and the proportions fallacy. Besides, as AMPU points out, it is irrelevant because it is the electoral votes, not the popular vote, which determine the outcome. In my state, my refusal to vote for Romney would have to be multiplied by 500,000 times to possibly make any difference.

Do you have any positive reasons to vote for Romney? Frankly, the Chicken Little routine is getting tiresome. I am only slightly more concerned about what Obama might do to the country than what Romney would do to this nation and to the conservative movement. Not enough, however, to soil my hands by voting for Romney.

And once again the alinsky ridicule tactics surface from another direction. What you so asshattingly call a chicken little routine is in fact the imminent death of the AMERICAN REPUBLIC some of us see coming if little barry bastard commie is allowed to rule for four more years.

It has yet to sink into your smarmy brain that there will be no ‘conservative movement’ if Barry succeeds in his plans to terminate the Republic. So go suck an egg, brainiac. The rational adults will try to save the Republic by incremental steps, beginning with getting rid of little barry bastard commie come January 2013. Dragging Milt Rominy (rhymes with hominy, the tasteless corn product) to the right is to follow shortly after ridding the nation of the commie infestation and Eric 'the raddish' Holder.

By that logic, there is no point in EVER voting, is there? I used to think like that. Then I found myself living in Palm Beach County in November 2000...
