I was "being untruthful when I tried to portray those criticisms as a willingness to elect a Democrat"? Are you series?

Yes, you were being untruthful when you tried to portray those criticisms as willingness to elect a Democrat. Yes, I'm serious (but probably not "series").

As I stated in my first reply, you needed to read the post before you responded. The guy said that if he lived in a swing state, he'd vote for President Bush to try to deny that state to the Democrat. As it is, he lives in a state that is so heavily Democratic that President Bush has no chance and his vote won't have an effect. Because of those facts, his consideration of a third party candidate does no harm to the conservative cause. He explained that situation very reasonably. You may not like his choice, but he wasn't trying to be a demagogue, flame the president, or advocate electing a Democrat.

On the other hand, you either didn't bother to read his post, didn't have what it takes to understand the post, or are willfully distorting it. Whatever the case, you started with your "Bush is satan" sarcasm. I thought your sarcasm amounted to demogoguery and said so. You also refused to acknowledge that the poster's intent in voting third party was not to elect a Democrat. It's nice that you support the president, but catty attacks on anyone who doesn't follow the party line exactly don't help your cause or make anyone more likely to vote for Republicans.

My you are full of yourself.

The post reply I made was to Maceman; dixie sass & ImpBill, yet you keep on about this Maceman post.

"It's nice that you support the president, but catty attacks on anyone who doesn't follow the party line exactly don't help your cause or make anyone more likely to vote for Republicans."

My cause?

You are pompously laughable. Don't look now, but you're tripping over your ego.

Many thanks though, for trying to make me a "good" little Republican.
