I'm not trolling you, Mega, but..... you voted for Romney, didn't you? Supported him? Will vote for the republican party again in this next election? I don't understand your hatred for Obama. You almost categorically seem to agree with him on virtually every substantive issue, but affiliate yourself with conservatives. What has the republican party done for you? What is it that Obama did that while you apparently agree with him on social issues, you don't like him?
It's none of your business who I voted for. Having said that, No. I did not vote for Romney. I also did not vote for Obama. Oklahoma doesn't allow for 3rd party voting in presidential elections and until they do, I refuse to settle for something that only represents 40-50% of my beliefs over someone that represents 30-40% of them. I've taken a lot of heat from republicans on this board if you care to remember, because they tell me that it's better to vote for
good enough, or at least
"better than Obama" than to "waste" my vote. Screw them. It'll be a cold day in Hell before I vote for someone based on the speed at which they are destroying this Republic being marginally slower than the other asshole.
Today I heard a radio talking head - don't know who - some right wing guy. Reviewing a movie he hadn't seen (50 shades of suck) based on a book he hasn't read (my wife made me try to read it. Terrible) delivering his opinion that the movie was "trash" and butchering the premise of the stupid, simplistic story so badly I changed the channel. Not because I disagreed that the movie probably sucks - I'm sure it does. But because he didn't let his ignorance keep him from stating his opinion. That's annoying from anyone and fan boys from both parties do it all the time.
How can you review something you didn't see or read?
Way too often, fan-boy supporters of either party are like that guy - company line, talking point, 'my tribe is better than your tribe' guys. No thanks. Hearing that guy on the radio reminded me I have almost nothing in common with a person who thinks like that, but the way I see it - it's not a republican vs dem thing. It's an establishment vs liberty thing and I owe no allegiance to anyone who isn't a fairly strict Constitutionalist, first and foremost.
Anyway - I'm a libertarian. I've told you that at least a dozen times.. The Republican party has done little if anything for me, but Obama has done even less - which is actually kind of hard to achieve. Seriously, f*** that guy.
