I understand why you prefer OBAMA and the DEMs. You think conservatism is better off as a minority/obstructer than being undermined, defunded, and have conservative candidates replaced with their enemies, big-spending corporate crooks that gave Republicans the bad name that cost them their swing support in 2006.

There, fixed it.

That's perfectly fine with me. I wasn't omitting anything. What am I going to do? Conceal your rationale from yourself? Get hold of sanity! I understand your rationale for preferring Obama and the Dems this year. If you feel more comfortable restating that rationale, it doesn't bother me and doesn't change my point: you prefer Obama and the DEMs this year.

This kind of posting [Go Obama!]is beneath contempt and earns you nothing but animosity for you and your position.

You obviously are very uncomfortable and sensitive about your position. If you want McCain to lose, you want Obama to win. Inescapable. I don't know why you have a problem with that.

You have this need to put words in people's mouths in order to have an argument. Here is the definition of "want" from Dictionary.com

1. to feel a need or a desire for; wish for: to want one's dinner; always wanting something new.

2. to wish, need, crave, demand, or desire (often fol. by an infinitive): I want to see you. She wants to be notified.

3. to be without or be deficient in: to want judgment; to want knowledge.

4. to fall short by (a specified amount): The sum collected wants but a few dollars of the desired amount.

5. to require or need: The house wants painting.

You knew very well that by this definition I don't want Obama but you said it anyway. That makes you a liar too.

I dealt with this idiotic 'if you don't want candidate A then you must want candidate B' argument when Arnold was elected. I guess you'll just have to learn your lesson the hard way.
