Thanks, Miss Marple. We can always count on you for common sense.
I’m trying to take a hiatus. Just saw Dick Cheney abused for supporting Romney. What a crying shame.
See you next week if we’re both still here.
I try to be a grownup in my thinking. I also try not to be an overly emotional, loud-mouthed, profane jerk like so many on the Left are; it really hurts to see this happen on OUR side....
Bottom line is I cannot pick the nominee. I can vote for someone I believe would be the best—or not the worst—of the candidates. In my state primary I voted for Gingrich, would have voted for Herman Cain, but he was out by the time we had the vote, and really WANTED to vote for Sarah Palin but she never ran. In the end, Rick Santorum won my state.
Now it appears that the millions like me who have voted have chosen not who I wanted or voted for but rather Mitt Romney. What am I to make of this? The bottom line is he is winning more votes than the others. Despite all the rhetoric here he is winning.
So, I have several choices here. I can vote for him in November, or Obama, or a third party candidate not yet on the ballot. Or I could not vote at all or not vote for in the presidential race.
I intend to vote for the anybody but Obama (the Republican ticket).
I will not let others dictate my vote. I don't mind if they argue with me about it, but all I ask is they keep it clean and avoid the ad hominem and attacks on otherwise decent FReepers. The fact that the most powerful person here can say “FU” to a de facto FRiend because they would do as I just stated is tragic.
But I do recognize this is not my house and it is apparent that we are all here on the owner's hospitality. If tht is enforced over this elections—either going with the owner or you're zotted—then my 14 years of community here might well come to an end. I will not leave. I can be thrown out so if you don'r see me posting the thread anymore you'll know what happened!
Seems to me the only ones to win such a fight is the Left and the democrats.
