You're tired of Bush-Clinton. Want something different. Mad at
Clinton
for voting for the Iraq war. But if (when) she gets the nomination
you'll
vote for her regardless?

I just don't get people who vote strictly based on party. No wonder
both parties keep nominating garbage.

OK, throw out party platforms...

For whatever reason, RW is inclined to vote for a democrat, whoever
that might be come November. He said he prefers Obama, but implies
that he'd take Clinton over any of the republican contenders.

So what's the problem?

I thought he'd explained his position pretty clearly earlier in this
thread. As Larry L. said, this is a person to vote *for*.

Besides, what would his options be? If you are of the democrat
persuasion, it's down to two people.

For some reason Ken's post isn't showing up on my server so I'll answer
him by replying to your supportive post, Donut.

I don't dislike Hillary Clinton, even though there are some things she's
done (mainly the war authorization vote) that I disagree with, and I'd
rather leave the Bush/Clinton thing behind. I think the two Democratic
candidates are both excellent, and I can happily vote whichever one gets
the nomination.

I merely prefer Obama.

Is that so hard to "get"?

Oh man, Laz, you've gone and done it. I suppose now we're ALL gonna

Thanks a lot!

Oh, good grief. Does the name Roosevelt ring any bells? No? Adams?

well, what can one expect in a world in which some local "sports" franchise
or other wins some parochial championship or other and everybody starts to
bleat about "dynasties"?

It's difficult for me to "get" since I don't have an affiliation with
either party.
Given the dislikes you listed about Clinton, I'd assume you would be
looking
elsewhere if she beats out Obama.

For a while it looked like it was going to be Clinton vs Huckabee
which meant
I'd be voting 3rd party come November. The far left and far right
scare me
roughly equally.

If recent history has shown anything, giving either party control of
President,
House and Senate is a recipe for disaster.

I know, I know. It was overly familiar of me.

But, as I said, I'm at heart a republican, and ** without meaning any
offence ** it sticks in my craw to address him as 'your highness'.

Margaret Thatcher would have been proud to see herself as a
conservative (as well as a Conservative) and as someone whose main
mission in life was to persuade people to adopt liberal (i.e. free of
unnecessary restraint) economics.

Where do the countries you know dwell?

Many people are proud to see themselves as whatever it is they imagine they
are.

Yeah.
