Norm speaks for me and others and has done so for a long time, a slow dawning, fundamentally -- voting for Romney was voting for evil, for sure. Evil consequences are certain.
For some reason, on top of Romney's cavalier attitude toward abortion, it was the Gay Youth Pride thing that was the actual awakener for me, realizing that I would be voting for an agent of evil in aiding homosexuals' "outreach" to teens and kids. That chilled me to the bone, and still does. I stand by my refusal to vote for that festering scab Romney, and will confront any who bleat that he'd have been "better than Obama" as dead wrong because only those who voted for Obama are accountable for him, and at that a whole lotta fake people are involved, because fraud is what puts a lotta leftists in power.
Redheads get fired up about stuff, Texas I know you know, and when it comes to POWs I am that way. I hate McCain with the best of us here -- but by God he put his life on the line for his country and got captured and tortured. He could have offed himself but he didn't. It's just about the only honorable thing about the schmuck.
So, ExTexas and jacquej, you please sit and watch all nearly 7 minutes of "The Donald", or if you please only the first few minutes. He could have reacted to McCain's attack in any of a number of ways. He chose the ONE way that was not just the wrong way, but the distinctly cad loser way, worse because Trump had taken five deferments from the same Viet Nam War that McCain had suffered in.
No, it's far from the kind of evil that Romney exhibits, yes, actually a character failing more than evil. But it's a pretty bad one, in charge of a nation like ours.
Just food for thought.
Thank you for apologizing. I have not yet decided on who gets my vote. I admire Ted Cruz, and respect his intelligence and integrity.
I am unsure about D. Trump, but understand why he is attracting so much support. Most of us are fed up with “business as usual” in D.C.
To be totally honest, I am very disillusioned and unsure about this entire mud mess of the election this year. I have been holding my nose and voting so many times now, and hate to think I will have to do it again.
All I want is some clarity, and the issue isn’t Ted Cruz, but it is the ambiguous circumstance of his “natural born” status. I want that clarified, or else any one born of an American mother and a foreign father cannot be challenged in the future.
That bothers me - the idea that “with world wide travel” any one born of a foreign father and American mother is eligible, no matter what the beliefs and loyalties of the father might be.
As an example -check the current occupant of the highest office in our land. It has nothing to do with the honorable Mr. Cruz, but with our incredible experiment and how easily it could be destroyed by those with an ulterior motive.
I tend to think about issues, not personalities.
