Well since it was my reply you quoted I will respond:
Them apples are just fine by me!
I made that post after several hours of nobody replying hoping to stir up some support for the thread.
Some of my Republican friends thought of me as a traitor for voting third party!
Pardner, I'm not saying you would be a traitor for voting your conscience. You have to do what you feel is right. What I'm afraid of is that there were alot of folk that felt the same way, and that in itself is good. The problem rears its ugly head due to the fact that those gentlemen did not have enough following to get them in the door. So now we have a leftist, possibly a muslim sleeper that wants to destroy the country that you and I and our Fathers worked ,bled and died to build. Now don't get me wrong, I am NOT placing any blame.
Number one, not sure McCain would have done anything that we could have been proud of.
Number two, it ain't your fault people just didn't trust McCain to do the job.
Number three, You have a right to vote for whomever you please.
Now I voted for Mr McCain due to the fact that he had already proved himself willing to sacrifice for his country. Did not like his "nonpartisan middle of the road mamby pamby attitude" but he, in my mind, had earned the right to give it a try.
Had I voted for Mr Paul, or Mr Baldwin then my vote would have been a waste, since neither had a prayer of getting elected, due to the fact that they did not have enough
National Support . Not because they were not viable candidates but because they were not appealing to enough voters so as not to give the Democratic candidate a free ride to the White house.
Now that all being said, I have no problem with your decision to wait to make your post.
and I hope my comment about staying away, did not offend you , I certainly did not intend to question your patriotism or devotion to our country. It was merely an observation, Frankly, I was surprised that there was not more response than there was at the time. I knew how I felt about the post as soon as I read it since I had already heard of the afore mentioned nonsense.
