No worries...we watch all of you fornicators, agitators and unscrupulous modifiers.

Give me a candidate who is in favour of small government, small taxes, minding our own business, personal freedom, and has some reasonable degree of honesty and you will find me very agreeable.

The DNC won't do it. The GOP has a better shot at it, but I doubt it will happen any time soon.

And I said 'contrary' not 'agitator'. Get it right. Your reaction to me being contrary is agitation. That is your problem - deal with it.

And that is why you are an elitist, VRM - nothing and no one is good enough for you, even the posters here have it all wrong in your view - although your view is stictly a minority view on these threads. Just pointing this out, no attack is intended.

You see, VRM the majority of posters here have issues with Obama, big time and issues with McCain, small time next to Obama - compromise i.e. McCain is the only logical and rational way to go this time around, along with Republicans in the house and Senate - third party voters are those that cannot compromise, they are a bunch of jackanapes thinking of themselves as principled people although in reality they are elitist unprincipled people that cannot see the forest through the trees. The ironic thing is that it may be people like you, the jackanape bloviators of America that may indirectly put Obama over the top. If that happens, America will never be the same and it will be full speed ahead to socialism.

CdC,
I don't deny always looking for improvement - why aren't you? There will be a point where I will accept whatever choice I make. In this case I have looked at all the candidates and decided that Obama and McCain are significantly lacking, but both for very different reasons. I don't agree with everything that Ron Paul stands for either, but I can accept the things that I don't agree with in order to get the ones I do.
You have only yourself to blame for Obama. SInce you elected someone as polarising as Bush who proceeded to run the country into the ground people will take whatever they view as opposite in order to fix the problem, because they view more of the same as not fixing the problem. I do hope that the GOP will come to its senses in 4 years.
I think the majority of Americans would be able to get behind a candidate who emphasised a good work ethic, strong defense, small government, personal freedom, and no socialism for companies or individuals. The GOP does not offer the last three, and the DNC misses the boat on the first two and last one.
I'm voting for the guy who offers some degree of all of those. Why aren't you?

Notice to All Employees

As of November 5, 2008, when President Obama is officially elected into office, our company will instill a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness:

1. All salespeople will be pooling their sales and bonuses into a common pool that will be divided equally between all of you . This will serve to give those of you who are underachieving a “fair shake.”

2. All low level workers will be pooling their wages, including overtime, into a common pool, dividing it equally amongst yourselves. This will help those who are “too busy for overtime” to reap the rewards from those who have more spare time and can work extra hours.

3. All top management will now be referred to as “the government.” We will not participate in this “pooling” experience because the law doesn't apply to us.

4. The “government” will give eloquent speeches to all employees every week, encouraging its workers to continue to work hard “for the good of all.”

5. The employees will be thrilled with these new policies because it's “good to spread the wealth.” Those of you who have underachieved will=2 0finally get an opportunity; those of you who have worked hard and had success will feel more “patriotic..”

6. The last few people who were hired should clean out their desks. Don't feel bad, though, because President Obama will give you free healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating your home, free food stamps, and he'll let you stay in your home for as long as you want even if you can't pay your mortgage. If you appeal directly to our democratic congress, you might even get a free flatscreen TV and a coupon for free haircuts (shouldn't all Americans be entitled to nice looking hair?)!!!

If for any reason you are not happy with the new policies, you may want to rethink your vote on November 4th.

Why aren't you? He can't win! It's time for you to not do what's right for you and do what's right for America, by voting McCain-Palin - not perfect but also not Obama-Biden.

Why can't he? All it takes is enough votes. I'm doing my part, so if you and the majority of the rest of the country do theirs then it will be no problem.

If you limit your thinking you will limit your options. - Me, right now.
