I've been wrong about as often as you have, so you're as familiar with the feeling as I am. You come on this forum and accuse a guy who is anti-Romney with links to back up his claims of exactly how truly liberal Democrat Romney is, of being on "Team Obama." Instead of just scrolling past his annoying spam, like I do and have done for at least four years, you choose to engage with stupid sniping, Doug, thereby creating certainly the impression that you plan on voting for Romney and consider his detractors defacto "Team Obama" members.
You imply that you don't plan on voting for him ... then you imply (quite wrongly) that I haven't considered the consequences of voting third party. So .. if you're not going to vote for Romney, does that mean you're not going to vote at all at the top of the ticket? That means mathematically that your lack of vote will make the winner (guaranteed to be a liberal either way) appear that much more supported by percentage of popular vote total; if, instead of declining, you had voted third party, it would have been counted among the plurality and weakened the winner's victory percentage.
As for meat -- doctors are not gods. They are fallible. Sometimes fatally and extremely fallible. I've known a lot of vegans and a lot of vegetarians for long periods of time. The less meat the longer, the squirrelier the thinking. Have likewise known extremely smart survivor-type guys who literally survived by being cool-headed and clear-thinking, and they all ate lots of meat, fish, fowl (and beer and scotch!). Not a few lived into their 90s. Doctors are fallible.
Since California is lost, I have the luxury of voting for whomever I wish. I am not kidding when I say it might be me. I agree with myself almost 100% of the time.
A doctor did not tell me not to eat meat.
Look up pescetarian. Omega 3 in salmon is good for my heart.

Last time there were about 129 million votes cast. My vote counts for 1/129,000,000. I am pretty sure that is not statistically significant. But I am sure that Romney has commented on such statistics and we will be pointed to the fallacy of his position.
