2012 Election Thread

[Hicks]

I think I figured out why these debates have helped Romney so much.

His normal speaking voice is actually quite soothing and people who don't know much about the issues respond to that.

Tonight I kind of zoned out and stopped listening to what he was actually saying and just listened to the tone of his voice and I almost started liking him.

Then I remember that he's a fucking douchebag liar, not to mention a Mormon, and all was right with the world again.

not to mention a Mormon

You'd probably be hard pressed to find a M that calls him Jack...  But IMO Ms are the nicest people around.  They really keep to kill them with kindness.  All the Mormons I know are great people...

I work with/for Mormons, some of them are OK, but some of them are truly awful people.

Romney heartily laughs at Obama joke about campaign ads. He really is a fucking dildo.

FWIW, Intrade virtually unchanged at 61% from start of debate.

So who are you voting for Azrael???

Terry

I honestly don't know. I can't vote for Romney. I can't see myself voting for Obama. But since I don't believe the president has nearly the effect on the economy that the candidates (and the public at large) seem to think they do, a Romney foreign policy is scary to me. John Bolton is to me the worst person alive. So the question is do I think Romney would allow himself to be steamrolled by the neocons into pushing us into more wars. And if so, would it be any worse than Obama's nearly identical foreign policy of W? I really don't know.

Obviously most of my beliefs align with Gary Johnson but for the fact he has also said that he had no objection to drone attacks and that he didn't think anyone committed a crime in the financial crisis, which indicates to me that he doesn't really get it. Also, he's way to healthy for a guy his age. I mean, do we really want a president who's climbed the highest mountain in 5 of the 7 continents? I just don't know that I trust anyone in their 50s who's that fit (sls, I'm looking at you :wink:).

Nice non-answer...  You should go into politiks...

:hereitisyousentimentalbastard

Likely Gary Johnson. Outside chance for Obama. Will not vote for Romney.

Voting against Rep. Alison Schwartz. Not sure about Sen. Bob Casey; if it looks like Romney will win, I'll vote for Casey because a GOP House/Sen/Pres is as scary as 2008-2010; if I think Obama will win, I'll go with GOP candidate.

Just remember, local elections is where it's at.

How does that differ from non-Mormons?

It doesn't, but the whole basis of their religion really does give me the creeps.

Is it the magic underwear or the no coffee/swearing schtick? Because for me, all religions believe some crazy shit, but no caffeine? Fuck that, I'm out.

Well besides the fact that they did away with polygamy, I mean if you can institutionalize fucking around you probably should keep doing it, but the whole "black people are cursed" thing is kinda disturbing.

Also no alcohol, isn't there something in bible about Jeebus buying wine at a 7-11 because they were out of water?

Yeah, really...  Mormons blew it at no alcohol...  How do they expect the normal person to join their Unit???  Come on, who doesn't like a beer or 6 every night???

I work with a bunch too.  And they are great people, even if they have magic underwear...  The "leader" of the bunch is a great dood and is a "bishop" in "the temple" (M-Speak for I have a big cock).  He is married to (1) woman, but his "

Lucidity is a matter of clarity...  Maybe I've learned how to stroke you???
