How come you won’t answer the questions I asked you?
Are you a conservative or just a troll?
Are you asking who I am personally voting for?

Too funny.
Got computer? Look up my posting history slick.
I’m simply asking if you intend to vote at all, what if anything you plan to do about the situation you’re going on about or do you just plan to bitch bitch and moan. I voter and when something pisses me off I’m on the phone to my congressman, and why not? I’m paying for the s.o.b to represent me and he’s a Republican. And what a perfectly eight-grade attitude with the ‘’newbie’’ subtext. Tell you what ‘’slick’’ f it all together. I’ve never encountered a more negative cuss in all my life than you. Have a nice life ‘’slick’’.
Well that's very commendable. Do you actually get him on the phone?
