"RightOnTheLeftCoast says your an idiot for voting third party against John McCain at #123"

Heh. Erudite grammar aside, you did provide a link, and thank you for that, as clicking-through shows that's not what I said. Before the general election a year ago, and in reply to someone who said they'd voted for Ron Paul in the primary, I replied,

That's perfectly fine. After all, the first rule of voting is: In the primaries, vote for the guy you think is best. In the general election, vote against the guy you think is worst.

This should be so easy for us this year. But idiots insist on voting for Obama by proxy, meaning a third party vote.

These same people urged a third-party vote or no vote at all in 2006. So the DemocRats took both houses of Congress, and how's that working out, hm?

Today, I'd stand by that statement, though I'd change it to "...meaning a third party vote or no vote at all." I'm far from a McCain fan, but I voted for him (or rather, against Obama) in the general election because any other choice (including sitting out the election in a petulant snit) was a vote for Obama, whether you admit it or not. If it helps elect, it's a vote for.

Meanwile, you said:

"Hey, speaking of the constitution and 'it's none of the feds business to regulate banks' I noticed you were telling Freepers they HAVE to vote for John McCain last October. Were you aware he voted for TARP? In fact didnt he suspend his campaign to fly back to Washington to get TARP passed?"

He suspended his campaign to fly back to D.C. and get pwned by Obama and the media. If you're looking for someone to defend McCain on this and most other matters, you're barking up the wrong tree with me. Perhaps you have me confused with someone else? You continue:

"So its OK to hand banks blank checks, but not OK to tell them what to do??

I really wish I had a clue what your point is. Both are abominations in the eyes of the Founders and totally unauthorized by the Constitution, which grants rather than limits the central government's powers. I never said it was "okay to hand banks blank checks" and rather resent your contention that I did. But, shrug, perhaps you intended that comment for some other poster since it clearly doesn't apply to me. And then you say:

"Telling anyone to vote for McCain is like flushing the constitution down the toilet."

I advocated voting against Obama, not for McCain. Although, I must admit, when I punched my chad it was in part to vote for Sarah Palin, the one thing McCain got right in his entire sorry-ass campaign.

What I really don't get is this part of your rant:

"Do you listen to Mark Levin ? Because you sound like him"

Generally I'd consider that a compliment, as I have much admiration for Levin, but I must say, I find Levin's radio show unlistenable due to his tendency towards screeching hysterics. But I presume you're talking about something other than his on-air verbal style. What is it, in particular, that I've said that reminds you of Levin?

You were telling freepers THEY HAD to 'vote McCain' or they were idiots but you also told them that TARP was necessary, contrary to your denial above! Before you deny it again, remember your posts are still here.

You see back last fall opposing your ideas I was posting both TARP and McCain would be disasters. So dont give me your phony constitution crap!
