Tea baggers are just racists

FQ13

I don’t usually get into these arguments; they don’t need input from me generally.  I can’t believe that an educated fellow that you say you are would be so naïve to think that a protest vote FOR Obama would yield the type of change the nation was hoping for.  There were plenty of other things you could have done to protest the past administration besides casting a vote for one of the most left wing, big government, take no prisoners type of tax and spenders that the corrupt State House of Illinois could offer.  Hell, though I’ll take some grief for saying it, I would have preferred Hillary over Obama if things had gone the other way!

I didn’t care for the GOP candidate either but my issues focused on the safety of the country at large, terrorist attacks, strength of military and regardless of his leftist leanings, McCain was the only choice left.  I would have written in my dog Harley but M’Ette talked me out of it… 

You repeatedly say you believe in the liberties granted in the Constitution but your PROTEST vote would suggest otherwise.  To give the Democrat party the green light by electing this man was a mistake, they own the three braches of government and there is not much we can do to stop them.  My definition of a libertarian is one that believes that the government has NO business in MY business and small government is better than the alternative.  I don’t concern myself with things that are none of my business and my life philosophy is that as long as it’s doesn’t hurt your fellow man, live and let live…leave me the hell alone.  By participating in electing this man you have made that philosophy nearly impossible to strive for as it will take generations to correct the damage he is capable of inflicting on this nation.

At this point I might prefer your dog, though NOT anyone named Clinton. I just thought (and think) that the GOP had 12 years and screwed the pooch. On balance, it seemed the Dems, operating under present constraints were the lesser of of two evils. Doubly so with McCain's repudiating 8/10s of what he stood for in 2000 to get the nod, plus the addition of Palin. In retrospect, perhaps not my wisest move, and a good object lesson in why we shouldn't let a throw the bums out mentality carry us away. I hope things go things well the next few years, but if not  I will stand corrected. But I will not back down from my belief that Boehner, McConnell and Mccain still do not seem like a good alternative.

PS As to why I didn't vote Libertarian, two words Bobb Barr, a man who couldn't spell the word before he found it was the only horse to ride. The ideas are good, the party is a joke.

I didn't want to catch crabs so I went out at caught AIDS instead.  That'll show 'em.

Good mentality.

Do you butcher all your chickens just because the henhouse roof has a leak in it or do you fix the roof?

Just because they got "educated" doesn't mean they LEARNED anything.

We live, we learn, Tom. As I've said before, I cordially despise both parties, and in this election, while I found much to be admired in both candidates as people, I had very shakey confidence in both as president. Vote for the devil or the deep blue sea. In this case voting against what you know didn't work seemed better than voting for it. I make no claims to superior wisdom, just a few years of study. It doesn't help when you want to bang your head against the wall on voting day. I'm not not filled with confidence thus far, but, as I said, I'll give the man until November of 2010. Then I vote GOP unless things have progressed.

When faced with the choice of voting for the lesser two evils, I don't vote for evil.
Two parties, one purpose.

I don't know, the black, hispanic, and asian folks that were there didn't seem to feel to out of place.  I wouldn't take any thing that Garofalo says as anything but mentally unstable ranting.  She seems like the kind of man hating, socialist, liberal that would get her girlfriend artificially pregnant just to have an abortion.

This guys probably just one of those traitor blacks, I forget what they them.  Sad that some folks have got to bring every thing down to a race issue, they know they may not win, but they also know that they can't lose.  It's the safest form of slander.

Priceless, Bryan............can I use that in future conversations with some of my liberal associates?

...the good news is that it must explain why I'm also such a racist. Cheg it: Conservatism is the byproduct of a neurological disorder, and the real problem isn't that you disagree with Liberal politics, it's that you are a racist.

***WARNING: Your Head May Explode***

Now for the rebuttal. Here is 2003 and a blond Garoflao says its American to be a dissident.

I heard a saying which seems pertinent here:
If you have a heart when you are young, you are a liberal.
If you are a liberal when you are old, you don't have a brain.
