Hell, I don't support him now but I will surely vote for anybody but Obama. You know ABO.

The fact that they can hold their nose and choke down the bile generated by voting for an empty suit that fails to do anything other than provide lip service to supporting their beliefs shows they're far more concerned with their party winning an election than they are with putting a candidate that actually supports their purported beliefs in office.

To the OP; Congratulations on starting yet another thread that shows you don't give a damn about ideology as long as someone from your party wins the elections. You've done an impressive job of showing you're no different than the Republicans you claim to oppose.

Unprincipled partisan hacks both Democrat and Republican will be the death of this nation.

Your threads would be amusing were your unprincipled partisan bias not so obvious. If there were truly any justice the hacks on both sides of the aisle would choke on their lying tongues.
Do you plan to vote for Obama. I plan to vote for anybody other than Obama and the party means nothing to me. I am really a serious righty thought.

I like you Roy and am generally supportive of your comments.

Please educate me as to how replacing Obama with another version of Obama will benefit us.

We're long overdue for electing someone that will live up to their promises of hope and change. Neither Romney nor Obama will bring any meaningful change to our near hopelessly broken political system.

Funny, I haven't heard anything from the Right about this......only from the Left.

It's a sad fact of politics that "personality" and "likeability" play a far more important role in elections than does competency......as we so sadly found out in 2009-present.

I am thinking about some of the EOs Obama has issued in thinking that if the GOP gains control of the Congress, and they just might, we surely don't need divisive Obama sitting up there for 4 more years, playing his games. There would be no changing of his czar members and a few other things like that and he would slam Obamacare onto our backs, like it or not. Of course, that Congress I mentioned couldn't have enough GOP members to override his veto of any attempt to change or repeal Obamacare, either. Yep, anybody but Obama for me.

No, I would no more vote for Obama than I would attempt to pleasure myself with a food processor.

Having said that, I'm not about to vote for the Republican version of Obama.

I want meaningful change. That will not be accomplished by electing either of the idiots championed by Democrats or Republicans.

Bad is bad whether the candidate has a D or R following their name.

The mainstream parties have consistently chosen to ignore, shirk, and abuse their Constitutionally mandated responsibilities. Why should I reward either demonstrably corrupt party with a vote?

You drove that nail clear through the board with one swing.
