Volumes of empty rhetoric. Here’s a very simple question I’d bet a dollar you sidestep with more hollow words:

Sounds like you at least acknowledge that either Romney or Obama will be the next president. You wake up the day after the election and turn on the news, who do YOU PREFER (even if it’s by a 0.000001% difference) they say is our next president? Mitt Romney or Barack Obama?

Since you pinged ALL...

If that were the only choice, Romney or Obama, your trick question to force a desired response might be valid. But, those two candidates are not the only candidates that I may select. So, your setup question is rejected on grounds of dishonesty.

If as you assert BHOK and Romney are the only choice, which I do not beleive.........

The announcer says, “congratulations Mr. President “XXXXX).

Here is what I think I will think: one is a flat head screw driver, one is a Philips head - either way we are screwed.

It's extremely likely that one of the two will win. I take no joy in that whichever way it comes out, however, I can take great Joy in the fact that one of those two sorry ass candidates must lose and I can laugh at him.

John McCain is the last liberal I will ever have voted for, Palin is why. I'll never fall for that again, it doesn't matter who Romney chooses as running mate. I do not vote for liberals. Never again.

You don't agree with what I'm proposing, and I respect and understand that.

You write off my carefully thought-out (I don't write these posts in three minutes -- I spend quite a lot of time on them to make my arguments as understandable as possible) and reasoned posts presenting an argument for a very different (and shocking, and unorthodox) strategy on how to DEAL with the fact that we're looking at an authoritarian statist liberal president no matter which guy wins.

That is a fact that we have to DEAL WITH. You think ABO is the best way to deal with it; I think ABO is avoiding dealing with it altogether.

I keep the posts as free of anger and emotion as I can. And you regard them as "volumes of empty rhetoric."

All I can do is shake my head and sigh at what looks very much to me like obstinate, or desperate, or fearful, refusal to consider any other strategy than ABO. Your mind has closed completely, it appears to me.

As for your question, although I suspect that you've already determined to consider whatever reply I make as "hollow words":

Sounds like you at least acknowledge that either Romney or Obama will be the next president. You wake up the day after the election and turn on the news, who do YOU PREFER (even if it’s by a 0.000001% difference) they say is our next president? Mitt Romney or Barack Obama?

I am absolutely neutral as to preference, exactly the same way that I am neutral as to Coke or Pepsi. You will probably interpret that as comparing Obama/Romney to Coke/Pepsi, but you would be quite wrong; it is an illustration of the nature of my preference, or lack thereof.

There is ONE THING that I prefer: that whichever guy wins, goes into office with a final vote tally where two out of every three voters OPPOSED him.

Now I know that you will consider those hollow words because, I believe, it's the only way you can comfortably deal with them. It is what it is.
