Big Tent Consensus Building

Just like Republicans in general, the guy seems bound and determined to push the elephants out to make room for jackasses who have no intention of entering . [Read]

We are sort of at a fork in the road. One, is to re-elect Obama. The other is to elect Romney. For me, electing Romney is a better way to go than the alternative, especially if you consider Supreme and lower court appointments over the next four years.

All the terse language about how Romney "banned guns" in Massachussetts and if you vote for him this is what you deserve is just like an idiot blathering on about how such and such candidate is Pro-Life and if you vote for him you'll end abortion on demand as we know it when in fact the candidate has no intention of doing such a thing and couldn't do it without the legislature starting something first anyway, like a bill for him to sign.

If some of you out there want to withhold your vote in protest or even vote for Obama this year, go ahead. Because if you do and Obama is re-elected, you certainly will deserve what you ultimately get.

Mr. Watkins, you're just another making the "vote for the lesser of two evils" advocate.

Where this country is today was constructed by your kind.

We're finished with that activity for the most part, the collapse will complete the task of removing you for us.

I do laugh, on occasion, at those that attempt to cast the Yankee thug as a conservative of any kind, which he has never been in his lifetime. Those engaging in this are turd polishing.

The fact Romney thinks consensus trumps the Bill of Rights makes me just as frightened about his possible court appointments as I am about Obama's.

We will get statist evil that has no respect for the Bill Of Rights, no matter what.

This would be a consideration if we still actually had something that resembles Rule Of Law with a deference to the Bill Of Rights.

It's funny but BOTH sides have been using this tired "Vote our guy! He's less evil then their's!" line of Bullshit for years. That ought to tell you something. And look where it's got us!

Besides which, there is a higher than even chance that we will be using $20 notes as toilet paper and perhaps regarding catfood as an aceptable protein source in the coming few years. Do you seriously believe ol' Mitts can save us from this fate?

I keep reading how, if you don't vote, you have no right to complain.

Excuse me, but, BULLCRAP.

I see it a different way. I've been voting since I was able. I've also never voted for a winner in the presidential election. Instead, I've "thrown my vote away."

Idiots - and I do mean idiots - Democraps and Republitards, who use the ubertired fear mongering about voting for the evil of two lessors to keep the worse one of the two out can kiss my azz. Guess what? Neither Obama nor Romney would be running if they weren't already vetted by the banksters. Doesn't matter which of the two are in charge - the debt is going to destroy this country, and, IMO, the candidate who actually understood this is out of the race.

The fact is, voting in this country is so corrupt that it would be outlawed if there was genuine oversight. Check out http://www.blackboxvoting.org/. Then vote your sincere little hearts out.

According to some maroons, I'm voting for Obama if I choose to vote for a someone OTHER than Romney. Thus, my only option - if I intend to maintain a shred of self-respect, is to simply NOT VOTE. And, since I haven't yet compromised my integrity by voting for someone I would NEVER vote for, just to keep out someone else I would NEVER vote for for out of office, is to not vote.

I'm quite certain that the people who have nothing to complain about regarding the destruction of the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, and our former Republic, are, for the most part, the people who voted - not the people who didn't vote.

After all, the people who vote are the ones who, year after year, support a system rife with corruption, and candidates who are bought and paid for.

So - Romney lovers, I'll do you all a big favor, and abstain from voting for a presidential candidate. I'll vote for local, state and federal matters, (yeah, I'm probably nutz for doing that) but not the president. Sorry, but I can't stand either the ultimate and penultimate hypocrisy of either of these candidates. Obama lovers, you have to overlook all the lies Obama promised prior to his election in order to vote for him. Romney lovers, you have the flip-flopping Romney horseshit to overlook. No worries, though - you can all act like what these horses asses say NOW is their truthful position on the issues, believe it, and cheerfully voter for the man. You can proudly sport your bumper stickers - "NRA MEMBERS FOR ROMNEY" or, the ones I really liked: "OBAMA BIDEN" next to a "STOP THE WAR" sticker. Gosh, you'd think the maroon would have scraped off ONE of them.

Oh yeah - I wouldn't vote for either Romney or Obama based upon their records. But, if you feel like they have changed spots, or actually support what they stand for based upon their records, God bless you. You'll need it. If you voted for "change" how did that work out? An interesting thing happened. The people who hated Bush and voted for "change" got the same thing. But quit complaining.

I'd have to write in the candidate I felt had a small chance at reversing the unconstitutional BS both major parties so fervently support. And where I live, that vote won't count anyway. So, RA RA Obamney. Big dif.

So - blame others when and if your Republicrat or Demopublican candidate does or doesn't win. And when he or she stacks the Supreme Court with someone whose language gymnastics screws you out of another "right" - or just outright stomps the remaining smoldering heap of the Constitution, just remember - this is YOUR fault. And when that "Honorable Jurist" removes more of your purported "rights" just remember to tout the party line, and blame those who remain blameless - the people who refused to vote for a candidate they wouldn't trust to dog sit.

Meet the new boss, just like the old boss.

Denninger does not allow TOR users to read his site. hmmmm
He voted for Obama, and now he needs to have your IP address? hmmm
