Baseless partisanship is worse for the country than any single politician; Vote for the PERSON not the party IMO... It really bugs me that the number one quality Republicans are looking for in a candidate is that they "can beat Obama"... Not that they hold a familiar set of values, not that you geniunely support a specific candidate - but because he can beat Obama? What if you blindly vote someone in who is actually WORSE? What then? If you like Paul cool, I can respect that. But would you seriously vote people like Bachmann or Palin in just because you think they could beat Obama - despite thier obvious lack of intelligence? It seems too many Republicans would... That kind of partisanship is bad for the nation as a whole IMO.
And to be fair, I'm sure there are Democrats who vote Democrat just because they dont want a Republican in office... But that's just as bad, and for the same reasons.
First off, I'm sure it does "bug you" because it is that commitment that will make sure Obama loses. That's worked against Republicans many times before...like I said, not this time pal. I'm glad it "bugs you" because that CLEARLY shows it is the correct action.
Secondly, I can't think of any conservative I would want in office less than Obama. Yup, not one. With as much conviction as you would have voted against GW Bush if there were such a thing as a third term, I'm voting against Obama. Don't lie, you know you would have voted for any cold duck with a D next to his name, so don't try to bullshit me, I FUCKING KNOW you would. I have every bit as much contempt for and just as little respect for Obama as you have for Bush. Sorry that doesn't register with you, but I couldn't care less that it doesn't
Are there candidates I would prefer, sure. But I think your guy is as dangerous to this country as any threat we face. Couldn't give a flying fuck if you can process that or not, it's reality. You could no more change my mind on that subject, than you could get me to believe in God. I want to unwind the last 80 years of entitlements and social engineering, it might take a bit of time, but I sure would like to see the ball start rolling in that direction. Go ahead, say it's cause he's black, if you knew me, you'd know how ridiculous that is, but it changes nothing anyways. We OBVIOUSLY view the world through different eyes, and I think your positions are just as outlandish as you see mine. I don't care if the MSM has a bunch of libs that parrot your points, it gives your positions absolutely no more credibility...at all.
