Quote from oldtime:
and furthermore, why am I being blamed because everybody is not a libertarian? Shouldn't you be blaming them? You're asking me to be stupid because everybody else is.
Quote from oldtime:
Did some early voting, maybe 40 min max on a Saturday morning.
I was surprised, they had a box to mark for a straight Libertarian ticket. I've never seen that before. Even standing in line I was still undecided. When I saw that Libertarian box that made up my mind right there.
Must admit, I walked out of there feeling pretty good about doing my civic duty.
I don't really cares who wins, but I didn't want to give up my right to bitch for 4 years.
yes, straight ticketQuote from Hoofhearted:
OT,
Who did you vote for?
And are you serious about the Liberaltarian box?
thanks for the kind words. I was happy and felt proud just for voting, but apparently I didn't do it right. I didn't realize I was handing the country over to the communists.Quote from mrbill:
Oldtime - I, too, voted early, mainly because I'm overseas and have to. Was hoping to be home in time to cast a conventional vote.
Judging by the responses I've seen here, from the usual suspects, the name calling, the extreme nonsense about the sitting President, I understand that it's much harder for we Real Americans to get any common sense pushed through, I appreciate you.
I have several Libertarian sympathies, but the facts, there is not enough there yet to win any office of value. Maybe soon in the future.

now I'm getting blamed because everybody else won't also do that
both parties are increasingly losing voters to the libertarians, at some point they are going to have to stop and take notice
you can thank me later

it's no better on the other sideQuote from mrbill:
That's the exact kind of uniformed, misinformed, and childish rhetoric that really bothers me. Obama is not a socialist, communist, Kenyan, or anything but a well educated black Christian American. There are so many enigma's the right has to deal with, from magic underwear to the planet of Kolob, that they are just whizzing around with Glenn Beck, Rush, Hannity, and those who fleece them for $$ via advertising dollars. And, the scary part, it is working to a great degree.
Do you think these guys spew this nonsense in the real life, or whatever they have a real life?
Quote from oldtime:

both sides pick the most extreme member of the opposition and then make outrageous claims that the whole party is that way
