Lucky for you, you're going to get four more years under Bush, whether you vote for him or do not.

an excellent choice of words, since he'll be f**king us the whole time and doesn't have enough imagination for anything but the missionary position.

My preference is well-established...
Anybody But Bush.

That's my conviction.

Well, so much for courage and convictions.

Are you actually stating that you would vote for a third-party candidate rather than the Dem candidate if the third party candidate's platform best met your ideals?

FWIW, I can think of a number of positions other than missionary where the receiving party is on the bottom. It isn't that Bush lacks imagination, but that he likes to drive.

BTW, folks, just to show you that A2K-life is not real-life, I must tell you that not only have BPB and I spoken on the phone a few times, we have done so quite cordially and at length, and even discussed politics briefly without screaming at each other. (In fact, I distinctly recall each of us using the phrase "I agree with you" at least once during the conversation.)

So keep it light and have fun. The snippets of text you love to hate here are real people and probably a bit more complex than the sum of their opinions expressed here might lead one to surmise.

If you had ever read anything of what I post here you wouldn't have to ask that question.

Just to clear this up, I feel pretty confident that I'll be voting Democrat, as I'm convinced that this devolution -- this mutation -- of the current Republican Party threatens virtually everything I hold dear and that the Democrats represent the best opportunity to flush these turds out of power.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I actually skip over most of what you write, and certainly am not the student of all things PDiddie that you clearly think I should be.

This seems to put the lie to your statement above, and despite your protestation makes my question seem quite reasonable in that you are now indicating that electability IS an issue for you. A bit hypocritical of you to poo-poo others for the fact that it factors into how they use their vote. You accused me of lacking the courage of my convictions, and now reveal that you will likely use your vote exactly as will I: not necessarily for the candidate that most closely matches your ideals, but on the most electable candidate who matches some of your ideals.

I suspected as much, but am grateful for the confirmation.

Well, I'm still callin' you a big liar... :wink:

[ I will say however there are some people I have met on forums most notably the one a lot of us came from, that I wouldn't piss on to put out if they were on fire, based purely on my cyber knowledge of them.

That was a very interesting way to say that.
