You’ve got the question wrong.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I do not have the question wrong. You are just afraid to answer it.
Go ahead. OWS admitted he perfers Obama over Mitt. Hell, he “envisions” a better country if B. Hussein is re-elected.
You say you are not picking Obama? But you know voting 3rd party leaves us with the same result.
So your principles won’t allow you to vote for Socialist Mitt? So you won’t vote for anyone for prez? Again you know that action results in Øbama being relected?
Sorry your question is wrong, because your question is an answer. The question is who are you voting for? Your question is why you are voting for that guy. Your question isn’t really a question.
I also know what happens in midterms and how the overall numbers game goes. I outlined in post 17 the historical trends and how that interacts with the two possible victories. The long term is better with Obama than a liberal R. That’s just how it goes. With two terrible for the next four years the long term math is better in a situation where we’re almost guaranteed an R victory in 2016 with R control of both chambers. Of course there’s another historical trend problem: R candidates for president have been on steady decline in conservatism since 88. So there’s a really good chance that our 2016 candidates won’t be any better, so then it really doesn’t matter.
The only real good news on the horizon is the GAO report that in 2035 there will be no possible way to afford the government we have. 2/3 of the government will have to evaporate then. Until then we’re screwed. Regardless of the party of the guy in the White House, they’re all high spending liberals, and they’re all gonna be high spending liberals.
I did not say I prefer Obama; I prefer neither of them. That is what you refuse to accept: that I or discostu can be against both of the candidates.
To be precise, I said I "can envision" -- I've always had a good imagination and tend to be future-minded, this means I tend to be a bit more consequentially-minded than my peers -- the people believing that changing the D to an R for the president is actual change can, and almost certainly will, lull people into a false sense of accomplishment.
John Adams said it very well:
The question before the human race is, whether the God of nature shall govern the world by his own laws, or whether priests and kings shall rule it by fictitious miracles? -- John Adams
A vote for Romney is a vote for fictitious miracles.
