I swear it’s like arguing with crazy people.

In the real world there’s a finite pie of votes and the guy with the most votes wins. He’s the one who’s empowered. We know this because, for instance, when Obama won his elections he then had the power to shove Obamacare down our throats and wreck our foreign policy. Whatever “empowerment” third parties and write-in candidates got is too trivial in comparison to matter.

And because the pie is finite, there is indeed a negative effect to casting a vote. A vote for one guy is a vote some other guy didn’t get. And he may need that vote to win.

It’s not like the logic of this is complicated. Which is part of what makes your odd denials so pitiful.

BTW, who did you vote for?

You are insisting that you get less liberalism by voting for more of it.

Doesn’t matter. It was a conservative and I am not going to let you divert to who I voted for. YOU empowered the GOP to move left and they did. The only crazy person is you. But you arent crazy are you. You are a leftist with an agenda and in 12 you succeeded in getting 65,000,000 to not only waste their vote on a loss, but to empower your leftist candidates, one of which just said FOAD to America over cutting the funds from Planned Parenthood.

You did that. YOU. PERSONALLY.

Without YOUR browbeating many here would never have voted for him and thus would never have had Paul Ryan in a position ANYONE would have turned to him for over filling Bhoner’s shoes.

YOU are responsible. You and those here and across the right like you.

Personally.

You are wallowing in sour grapes here and you are denying reality in a self-serving attempt (three years after your absolute loser, ummmm, LOST) to justify your apostasy from actual conservatism. CONSERVATIVES do not owe you or your pathetic Willard a single vote. You apparently believe that the Demonrats are the only boogiemen in American politics. You refuse to recognize that Romney is just as bad like his daddy and mommy before him. WE still owe NO VOTES to you or top your pathetic leftist loser and Obozo clone and you won't get them. Each time the Inside the Beltway trash, the Wall Street trash, the K Street trash gets its collective way and their $$$$$ nominates a McCain, a Romney, a Dole, a GHWB, a Ford, a Nixon, the number of fed up former Republicans grows. Short of the GOPEE nominating another Reagan (Ted Cruz, maybe Trump, name another), we ain't coming back. I am ashamed to say that I voted for each and every GOP POTUS nominee from Nixon in 1968 to McCain in 2008. All I got was two terms of Ronaldus Maximus. I am not settling any more. Rule or ruin. The sooner we shake off the disreputable dust of the GOPEE, McCain, Romney, Dole, GHWB, Ford, Nixon, McConnell, Cockroach, Cornyn, Corker, Alexander, Nancyboy Kirk, Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy, Ryano, etc., the better. Start over.

Oh, and I voted for FR's own Eternal Vigilance (Tom Hoefling) and others here voted for Virgil Goode. And, apparently you would have voted for Charles Manson so long as he had the GOPEE nomination. Not a Demonrat, not a boogieman, right?

You ARE what you vote FOR. Own it! We are certainly not crazy. We just recognize you and yours for what you are.
