Amen!:biggrin1:And with that, I drive a nail through the coffin that contains Huckabee's hopes of becoming president. Not that I ever planned to vote for him anyhow, but this is definitely a good reason. Any person who doesn't understand that church & state should remain seperate should NEVER be in office.
Americans aren't dumb enough to elect this guy. Are they? Please tell me they aren't.
I never liked this guy, he seems like a funny, charmer...but he is a fundamentalist crackpot. Him and Mitt Romney need to get launched into the sun.
Where are those mouthy atheists and agnostics when we need them? Oh that's right, in the past they have voted for Ross Perot and Ralph Nader. Talk about a wasted vote. . .
Agreed, but it ain't happening. :frown1:I never liked this guy, he seems like a funny, charmer...but he is a fundamentalist crackpot. Him and Mitt Romney need to get launched into the sun.
Begin with the end in mind. That's what Presidential elections have boiled down to IMO. Think about what you want the end to be and vote accordingly. I'm not saying this is right but it is the way it is. :frown1: The truth is for many of us if we were to vote with our hearts and our beliefs there is a good chance we would waste our vote. :redface:This one politely entreats you to go fuck yourself. I am not getting into the 'fuck you too' game HazelGod. I actually have too much respect for you to lower myself that way.
The prevalence of the attitude you expressed is directly responsible for our national elections always coming down to a choice between a giant douche and a turd sandwich. HazelGod, I never claimed the two party system as it stands now is the best thing (I know it's not) but it's what we currently have to deal with in these United States. You can ramble on about how people like me are the source of the true wasted votes but you are wrong and I am right and that's all I really care about. :biggrin1:
If everyone had the sack to educate themselves thoroughly on the issues and the candidates' positions on them...and then vote according to their belief in who best represents them, things might be different.
So long as people use "probability of being elected" as their first selection criterion, our political system will continue to wallow in corruption and inefficiency...serving their own interests and pandering to the lowest common denominator.
Voting for someone other than the candidate who truly represents your beliefs and values...that's the very essence of a wasted vote.
