Voting A Waste Of Time?

[BigBo]

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?

The political process is interesting - I watch and read about it, much like following a sports team - but I'm not a believer in sides. I think we're approaching endgame with respect to there being a political solution. I can't help but thinking that if you feel strongly about someone or something, you've been taken in by the Op-Ed pages of the New York Times or from listening to too much talk radio. You see the canidates together and everyone is buddy-buddy, they look like they are sharing a private joke.

I read something once that said up until Clinton, it would be common for Rebublicans and Democrats to fight during the day and get together for drinks in the evenings, i.e. there was a lot of mutal respect.

Do you really disagree with my statement Spence? I thought that was generally accepted - seriously. Ok, take out the word idiots, and I really don't see how you can disagree with that.

So, if the democrat party thinks people are intelligent and are worthy of controlling their own destiny, why are there so many democrat super delegates (who are not obliged to vote with the people)?
