[/quote] [quote name='qfnol31' timestamp='1351686291' post='2501070'] Not normally listed, but not negotiable. Torture is never acceptable. [/quote] You are right; I mean it not like Romeny supports torture.....Oh Wait, he does. [url="http://articles.latimes.com/2012/oct/03/opinion/la-ed-torture-romney-obama-20121003"]http://articles.lati...-obama-20121003[/url] [quote]The New York Times recently reported on a memo by a group of Romney legal advisors urging him, if elected, to rescind an executive order issued by Obama that bans "enhanced interrogation techniques" not permitted by the Army Field Manual. And the candidate himself is on record as supporting such a shameful retrenchment. In December, he told reporters that "we'll use enhanced interrogation techniques which go beyond those that are in the military handbook right now." He also said he didn't consider waterboarding torture.[/quote] But yea; Romney is the perfect candidate for a Catholic to vote for.....

[/quote] It's irrelevant anyway. I could never in good conscience hypothetically vote for Virgil Goode. His astoundingly heavy hick accent tempts me to have thoughts of mass-murder, so I don't think listening to him speak a lot for four years will be a good idea.

[/quote] Why don't all of you advocating throwing away a vote get together and organize something that might actually make a true statement for voting according to your morals? Why not just write in Cardinal Timothy Dolan? Imagine if just 1% of the population wrote in Timothy Dolan, and the election was decided by that close of a margin. Now that might actually make an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] And when you live where we do, that will be a 3rd party vote, instead of blindly voting for the Republican candidate, merely because he isn't Obama. Our state will go Obama. It isn't even a question. So what's the point on throwing away our vote on Romney? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 The best way to have a viable third party presidential candidate is to work towards building strong third parties from the grassroots up-- ie electing them to local offices first. Unfortunately, that takes time that most people are not interested in investing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
