I'm sorry, but anyone that votes for Obama after the past 3 and 1/2 years is a moron..... Anonymous2000 Send a noteboard - 12/08/2012 03:30:47 AM
A complete an utter moron.

I'm not saying you have to vote for Romney or any other candidate, but voting for another 4 years of failure is ridiculous.

I am proud to say that I didn't vote for anyone in 2004. Don't be afraid to sit one out if the only option is to vote for the least bad candidate.

No offense intended, but voting third party is as stupid as not voting. Aemon - 12/08/2012 04:42:28 AM 1029 Views
I strongly disagree. Joel - 12/08/2012 05:11:52 AM 862 Views
I'm with Joel on this. There's a big difference between voting third party and not voting. Legolas - 12/08/2012 07:31:29 PM 934 Views
