The Debates (house, quote, history)

Join the club ~ there's a poster over on another forum i'm active in that would have me banned for it.

All i can say is, "Tough Spit."

If i choose to explore my options with posting in these forums, guess what? They provide the options because not everyone wants the same thing.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it...

Shut the fuck up and stop posting in this thread I'm serious. You're spewing nothing but hateful right-wing bullshit that does nothing but ruin productive discussion. You've been told to stop several times, now stop. I will ban you if you post in here again and I don't think anyone will bat an eyelash over it.

Maybe, but not quite what i'm looking for. Like, on the majority (not a great majority though) of issues, I am on the right, but there are 2 issues where I am on the left. Education and Stem Cell Research/Application. There isn't really a candidate out there that will represent me even remotely well because as soon as one becomes a presidential nominee, they conform to all of the party's views so that they do not turn away potential voters. It's a really ****ty system.

Lol, why vote for Ron Paul then?

Like I said, I want someone to make a splash who isn't one of the 2 party nominees. I want America to wake up and realize that the system fails to elect good representatives of the people. If we keep voting for the same pieces of garbage nothing will ever change. I went with Ron Paul simply because I felt he could get the largest number of votes outside of the big 2.

I am baffled. How can someone who doesn't care about the issues find it appropriate to post in a thread about a series of debates where the candidates discussed the issues?

Um, Ron Paul dropped out of the race so I doubt he's going to get a very large number of votes. If you wanted to go with a third party candidate who'd make a splash Ralph Nader probably would've been your bet. There's a few third party candidates to choose from anyway, why not look at their opinions and see which you like best instead of just blindly picking Ron Paul.

Ron Paul has a huge cult following so he'll get his votes, and as a write in, i think that would make more of a statement. Also I did look at some of the third party people, but didn't really identify with any of them. I do kind of like Alan Keyes, but w/e.

Yeah, I was planning on voting for Nader as my "f*ck you" statement.

But I may very well write in Paul instead.

"We believe that the best of America is in the small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call real America, being here with all of you hard-working, very patriotic, pro-America areas of these great nations." - Sarah Palin. And in case you we wondering "Am I real American? Am in one of those true red, white, and blue pockets?" Nancy Pfotenhauer just confirmed what real America is. Ready for it? Real Virginia (Northern Virginia which is full of democrats but everywhere else is real), Northern Wisconsin, The Iron Range of Minnesota, South Central and Southeastern Pennsylvania, St. Louis Suburbs and finale, the rural areas of Missouri. So to everyone else in the country, McCain has this to say: fuck you!

So in case you fake Americans (myself included) want to know about what we aren't. Governor Palin went on! "This is where we find the kindness and the goodness and the courage of everyday Americans. Those who are running our factories and teaching our kids and growing our food and are fighting our wars for us. Those who are protecting us in uniform. Those who are protecting the virtues of freedom." So, if you're not from the Midwest and you signed up to fight in the middle east and died it doesn't count! I bet you feel silly in your grave now.
