Glad to hear. No one here should be attacked for honest debate. We are in it together and it’s up to us to win back this Republic. If we have to do it incrementally - the way the leftists have been destroying it - so be it. Every step toward that, however small, is a good thing.
i think they are misguided [those who continue to incessantly harangue against our nominee], but i would never demean their conservatism, and i cannot understand why we are not extended the same courtesy. in light of the fundraising aspect that is going on, it seems even more counterproductive, than just insulting.
Excuse me, but those of us who have figured out fatal flaws of fear/emotion-fueled ABO have seen and even been subject to incredibly dishonest debate, such as:
"A third party vote is the same as voting for Obama -- it favors the incumbent." Really? Tell that to HW Bush.
"Not voting for Romney is the same as voting for Obama." Wrong -- there's only one way to vote for Obama, and that's to mark his name on your ballot. It's math. Electoral college votes notwithstanding, popular mandates weaken or strengthen the winner's mojo accordingly. A third party vote cast by anyone for any reason, necessarily reduces the popular mandate of the winner, favoring neither major party candidate.
"I'm voting against Obama." 100 percent illusion. You cannot vote "against" anything or anyone, ever. You can only vote for something. Even when you're voting "against" a proposition, what you're doing MATHEMATICALLY is voting FOR nixing that proposition. Voting "against Obama" is like voting for pretty pink unicorns: totally imaginary. Whether you like it or not, you cannot vote "against," you can only vote FOR. Can you handle that truth?
"If you're not voting for Romney, you're an Obama supporter. Go post on DU!" Tell it to Jim Robinson, the guy whose forum has welcomed ABOers, many of whom engage in dishonest debate with examples such as those listed above.
