PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 [quote name='dUSt' timestamp='1351747296' post='2501850'] Voting for anyone other than Romney is pro-Obama. This is not a moral or theological statement, it is simply a realistic one, based on [b]fact[/b]. So, if you agree with Obama, and enjoy your religious freedom being destroyed, and abortion on-demand, vote for Obama or a third party candidate. If you value your religious freedom, and disagree with abortion, vote for Romney. One week before the election, those are the only two viable choices that will have any real affect. Anything else makes you irrelevant. Thanks, dUSt - Phounder of phatmass, and leader of you all [/quote] I agree in part, but also disagree. We need to remember that the popular vote does not decide the President by itself, it chooses the electors. For individuals such as myself who live in a solid state like Kansas which almost surely will go to Romney, I feel no danger in voting for a third party, because even if a third party gets 9-10% of the popular state vote it won't be changing the outcome. McCain won the popular vote in 2008 by over 14 points AND Obama has even less support than last election here. In my case voting for a third party does not give support to Obama and sends a message that the two party system is broken or at .east they are running the wrong candidates.

Vincent Vega Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 This whole turning PM into part of the propaganda machine is really pretty uninteresting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Funny, I thought this w the DEBATE table. Where we could I don't know express our views on various issues of the day and debate with others about what it means to be Catholic in Varrying situations, to express differing ideas. Didn't realize that was propaganda now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Rhetoric is part of debate, what I think you mean is that not everyone is posting good solidly constructed arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilisa Marie Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Maybe I wouldn't have such an issue with everything dUSt says if he wasn't the administrator of the forum. Not trying to be insulting, just honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm just used to him being the great and powerful mysterious webmaster who only deigns to come down and interact with us plebeians when there's something important to say.

qfnol31 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hahaha, I think dUSt has had political feelings as strong as Winnie's since I first started posting here. It's rare to get him to post like this, but I think it's one of three topics in which you'll really get his opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
