Thank Obama voter and FREEPER TexasBud:

". I crossed over and voted for Obama, when McCain picked Palin as his VP choice. Other Republicans did, too. As one highly respected Republican said, “I have learned from the Bush administration to value competence foremost over ideology.” (I am paraphrasing.) He was explaining why he was endorsing Obama, even though he didn’t share his ideology, and it had to do mainly with Palin and what it said about McCain’s competence, as well. I and other Republicans didn’t vote for a communist or a socialist. He’s a liberal with a bottom-up approach (as opposed to a trickle down approach) much along the lines of FDR and JFK. If you want to be taken seriously, you have to give up outlandish nonsensical arguments. Unless, of course, that’s all you have to stand on."

If you want to be taken seriously, you have to give up outlandish nonsensical arguments.

I'm detecting a serious conflict between these statements.
