Just make sure you separate the truth tellers from the demonizers, that’s all.

No, that's what you are doing. You are buying a ticket for a game that isn't even going to be played.

But you are still going to play your game knowing you are going to lose. However, your game affects me. That's the point you miss.

This is our wake up call, and you are going to take a snooze.

You did say that, pretty clearly.

You pretend like you didn't, and then you repeat it, with no proof, just innuendo.

So, go ahead show us how Romney is just like Buffet, Soros, and Hammer....

Go ahead. You implied it, now prove it.

It’s amazing. That guy’s M.O. is to jump on those not voting for Romney and insist you prove any point you make, and then belittle your points or proofs as non-proofs while he continues to insult, condescend and ridicule.

Acts more like an Obama drone or unhinged Ron Paul Mob Zombie than any Conservative I’ve ever seen.

You’re wasting your time having a discussion with a forum bully.

Wow these silly vanities all look alike. I remember that one you were on for a while where you pinged me again at 999 and I hit comment 1000. I have trouble telling the difference.

You know that these silly vanities are designed to stir up fights here, which can be entertaining . Speaking of which, imagine how much fun, err I mean trouble LOL, rabs would be getting into now if he was here? He would be a blast.

He was a good FRiend and a fun poster, but not enough self control.

“You did say that, pretty clearly.”

No, I absolutely did not. I didn’t even mention Romney’s name. If I did say it so clearly, then quote where I said it.

“Go ahead. You implied it, now prove it.”

What I was implying was that socialists could be successful businessmen too, contrary to your inane assertion otherwise. If that’s not true, then what do you call the politics of Soros, Hammer, and Buffett? Capitalism? I’m asking again, since you never answered the question, but just tried to deflect attention from it with your straw man games.

No straw man argument here, you had to have brought it up for a reason, yes? If you did not bring it up for a reason, it strikes me as a strange place to go, and I'm wondering why you did it.

The question is actually pretty easy to answer, like a previous poster said it's such a ridiculous thing to compare Soros and Romney, it seems silly to address it, so I didn't, but here goes: Some business people lean left, although not in the way they run their business. Most business people are not true socialists, actually very few (Buffet because he's a senile, sentimental fool outside of business, and far worse Soros who hates free enterprise). Romney is clearly not like them, in his business practice, nor even his RINO squish governance of Mass, nor in his stated beliefs. He clearly thinks free enterprise is the best model. Soros on the other hand does not, is an outlier and the poster (or you, if you believe that) bringing him up as an example of some one just like Romney is just plain stupid.

So, yeah, if you believe that, please prove it. If you don't, why are you bringing it up?

Oh, since INVAR decided not to ping me, but discuss me behind his back against forum etiquette (plus he clearly can't handle someone who disagrees with him), I'll ask you if you actually believe the crap he and his petulant, posse of 2 post?

Just wondering, it would help me understand why you came into the discussion.

I brought them up because they are examples of socialists who are also successful businessmen. So, they disprove your assertion that someone simply being a successful businessman is proof they are not a socialist.

Now, whether or not Romney is a socialist is open to debate, but you can’t shut the debate down by appealing to his status as a businessman. It’s a bad argument, since the two are not mutually exclusive. That’s all.

I don’t live in a “battleground” state. My vote for President will not make one whit of difference this year, or in any other, for that matter.

If enough folks who think this way would vote, perhaps it would make a difference.

I despise Romney and Ryan.

I consider myself a conservative/libertarian.

I can't wait to vote for Romney and Ryan.

Someone on Free Republic recently said they would crawl through broken glass to vote.

Ditto.

“I’ll ask you if you actually believe the crap he and his petulant, posse of 2 post?”

I don’t know, you’d have to be a bit more specific about which “crap” exactly; I’m not going to blanketly endorse another poster because I just don’t have time to read everything they have posted to see if I agree with them.

1. Do you think Romney is just as bad as Obama as he does?
2. Do you believe that Romney is a socialist just like Obama?
3. Do you believe that you can't vote for Romney because of your Christian faith?
4. If someone disagrees with you on that score, would you say you are being persecuted for your beliefs?

I'd say those are the specifics.

1. No
2. Socialist, yes, just like Obama, no. They are two different kinds of socialists.
3. No.
4. No.

Much appreciated, I'd answer number 2 just a bit differently, but not so much. My answer would be: maybe, in some ways, but that he is more of a RINO squish than a socialist.

Soros, now that's a committed socialist.

I'm a reluctant, hold my nose vote for Romney, only because Bambi is the worst, most far left, most destructive, most pro-marx, pro-muzzie, pro-death, anti-free enterprise, anti-Christian, anti-American, anti-everything we say we love and care for president ever and a record to back that up. I think he'll go full blown Chavez on us if he gets four more years and I'm not sure we can withstand that as a country.

Half of me will need a lot of whiskey to vote for Romney, the other half will crawl over broken glass to vote against Bambi. Unfortunately to get rid of him you have to do both.
