The vote for a president: How do you vote?

yes, c.i., as we have now.....except of course that it's at least questionable if GW won any part of the election.............(please folks let's not start on this).

As I see it, the way things work is the opposite from the answer provided by Charlie Wilson. What is good for the country, truly good long term for the country, which in my opinion is what's good for the poor and the middle class, is good for me. If we have economic disaster, as we will if GW gets reelected, it will be as bad for the upper 1% as it will be for the rest.

Here's a funny aside, admitting my ignorance.........I thought that GM line was from Catch 22......funny funny Embarrassed

Thanks for your totally irrational and irrelevant answer kj. I was wondering when we'd hear from someone who just totally bypasses thinking in the voting process.

kjv must be a republican - I would guess.

Roverroad should also read the primer on the electoral college. When you pull the lever, put an "X" or whatever for your presidential preference, you are not voting for that candidate but for the electors pledged to vote for him.

Perhaps, although I suspect this individual is here to yank everyone's chain. No one could possibly be that incongruous. Wink

oh, kjv is a lot of fun. She/he is now bringing the full weight of her or his intelligence and learning to the complex matters at hand. And, we'll note, has apparently figured out how to use spellcheck.

Precisely, caprice. And I don't like it one bit. Some may find it amusing, but I find it very irritating. If she cannot learn to get along, I suggest she find a different internet forum.

There is a chance she is just that stupid though.

I agree with Kicky.

Who's to say this person is even a she? It's just the inflammatory nature of this poster's comments that make me question whether there is any sincerity there or not. It's my opinion this person is here merely to ruffle feathers and be as antagonistic as possible. The sort of behaviour typical of a bored junior high school boy comes to mind.

Joe are you talking about the religion and politics piece they're doing?

Note that the 60 Minutes narrative described the Christian Right as, now, the most powerful block in the Republican Party. That, I believe, is the correct analysis.

Yup. Read Bruce Bawer's Stealing Jesus.

I've been on your case here of late because of posts such as the one on the previous page.

What is it that you are trying to accomplish? It doesn't seem to be discussion, or exchange of ideas, or even any real effort to speak with anyone. The post I refer to (republican, republican, republican...) might just as profitably have been voiced by a tape machine to a train passing in the distance.

You have ideas. You ought to get braver and voice them, along with the reasons you hold them. Folks will argue with you, but that's part of living in a democratic community. And though you'll be argued with and contested, if you set about this with courage and carefulness, you'll gain the respect of those present. Otherwise, it will only be disdain which comes back to you.

I assumed that kjv is a she because she asked a question about her period on my PMS thread and there's her breast thread. I honestly don't think it's a prank at all. I can see how you'd think that though.
