Voting A Waste Of Time?

Me thinks you're confused. All due respect, read up on pledged versus super delegates, and the number of times the electoral college has gone against the popular vote.

In short - yes, the popular vote matters.

I have to say that I agree with you that there are too many democrat super delegates. It's not too surprising when you consider that one of the key philosophies of the democrat party is that the people are mindless idots who need contant loving support from their government and as much help making decisions as is legal.

Yea, like decisions about women's health or who you can and can't form a legal union with

When was the last time you had a Dem sponsored amendment to the US constitution to restrict rights?

Based on the most recent events of Romney dropping out of the running, I will not be voting in this upcoming election. I won't be happy, but I won't complain either. I would never cast a vote for a socialist.....eerrrrr Democrat, nor will I cast a vote for a Democrat in GOP clothing. John McCain will not get my vote.
I feel sorry for the younger generations to come for the direction this country is headed.
I'm done.


for the record; I did vote in the Primary on Tuesday.

Bo, sorry to be so blunt...but this calling McCain a closet democrat is the most assenine thing I've ever head. Are you simply a sheep being herded by the punditry who's only motive is to make a buck from your sponsorship?

As much as the GOP was able to keep the whitewash on the past decade, their facade has seriously fractured under Bush's failures of leadership.

You have libertarians, isolationists, free marketers, evangellicals, Goldwater'ites, etc, etc, etc...all standing under a Republican banner and yet the reality is they would all likely agree on very little.

What is a Republican then?

I never said Bush's presidency was a success.
I'm sure I can't define a Republican that would suit your definition, but IMO McCain is not one.
That's it. I'm really done this time with my assinine opinions. We can't all be as smart as you spence.

That wasn't directed squarely at you, the GOP punditry has been pimping the idea all along in an attempt to derail his campain. I'm asking if you're simply following their lead.

If you've decided that McCain is certainly not a Republican then you should have no problem telling me what one is?
