  1. A stepson in the Bush cartel of corporate raiders he’s as crooked as they come. He seems to want to be a constant nuisance and snipes away but each time he pokes his head up he gets clobbered.
    The jerk is slow to learn.

  2. Some of you dummies (and Ann Coulter) implored people like me to vote for McCain–I refused.

    Now look at some of you dummies, you hate both worse than Obama!

    Because they were worse. I told you…..

  3. Mithrandir, how proud you must be to be a 2 time Obama voter, way to go! Obama was the worst president in our history, the champion of identity politics and racial division, the creator of DACA, the exploder of the national debt and government dependence,the guy that emboldened Iran, the guy asleep at the wheel while our nation was invaded by millions at our southern border and the guy that trashed our reputation and our “exceptionalism” throughout the world, but at least he had your vote.

    Both McCain and Romney would have been a much better president than Obama but sadly both were infected with the same maladies; bitterness, regret and a strange animus towards the man that did what they could not do. I thought both were better men, I was wrong.

  4. @Rich Taylor: Just to be completely accurate here, Mithrandir didn’t say he voted for Obama twice – only that he would not vote for McCain or Romney. He may have sat out both elections. Which in retrospect, I should have done.

    “Which in retrospect, I should have done.”

    Why would you regret voting for the obvious better candidate? Both McCain and Romney would have been infinitely better, would have governed more conservatively then Obama and would not have wrecked both the economy and our reputation around the world. We would not have had Eric Holder, Jim Comey, Hillary Clinton as SofS, Tim Geithner, Obamacare, DACA. Sure, I guess you could connect the dots and say that a horrible Obama administration gave us Trump, but at the time voting for the Republican ticket was a no brainer for me.

  6. @Rich Taylor (at 3:16 pm): Because I knew at the time that there was no real chance that either one would defeat Obama after Bush had so thoroughly seduced the canine, and I could have saved myself the time and trouble of going down and standing in line at the polls.

    Remember that I said “in retrospect”, too. If confronted with a similar situation in the future, I would probably do the same thing, no matter how pointless it was.

    “Because I knew at the time that there was no real chance that either one would defeat Obama”

    Really? McCain and Obama were pretty close going into the election and given that no incumbent had ever won relection with a down economy, many polls had Romney winning;

    As for having a “real chance” as you say, Trump was way behind Hillary up until election night, imagine if people thought like you and said, “Heck, he has no real chance of winning, I’ll just stay home”. I don’t think anyone knows who has a real chance and who doesn’t ahead of time, we pick our candidate-the one that better reflects our values, and we ride that horse to the finish line, win or lose.

  8. @Rich Taylor (at 3:52 pm): So after 2016 you still believe in polls? You know, I’ve got this bridge in Brooklyn…

    😉

    P.S. – I’d like to point out that you are doing the same thing to me that you did to Mithrandir: putting words in my mouth. Mithrandir never said he voted for Obama, and I never said I would say home at election time. In fact, just the opposite. Go back and read my comments again, and unless you failed reading comprehension, you will see what I mean.

  9. Vietvet, if you don’t believe in polls then how on earth can you possibly say, “Because I knew at the time that there was no real chance that either one would defeat Obama”, how could you know that?

    I don’t mean to put words in your mouth, I’ll just go by what you typed;

    “He may have sat out both elections. Which in retrospect, I should have done.”

    This sure sounds like regret to me, that you should have stayed home, and this goes back to my original question, why do you regret voting for the candidate that best represents your values, given that nothing in elections is predetermined, anything can happen and if more people had actually voted like you and I did instead of staying home, the results might have been different?

  10. @Rich Taylor (at 4:45 pm): I don’t particularly believe in polls and I can say I felt I knew (since, as you are aware, no one could possibly know for sure) that Obama would be elected because I had read enough and talked to enough people to form that opinion. However, that did not stop me from voting, and it wouldn’t again. And I do not regret any vote I ever cast, no matter how much you want to read that into my comments.

    Which brings me back to the comment you find so troublesome: “He may have sat out both elections. Which in retrospect, I should have done.” I think it is amusing that you should still take that so seriously, especially considering how much I have tried to make things clear to you. Can you say, “sarcastic bitterness”, kiddies, because that’s exactly what that was. Sarcastic bitterness. And I think most of the IOTWR folks read it exactly like that. But not you.

    P.S. – Are you sure you’re not a Democrat?

    😉

  11. “Sarcastic bitterness”

    OK, fair enough.

    What I tried to convey was that sitting out accomplishes nothing. Trump lost the popular vote. He won the presidency by a razor-thin margin of about 80,000 folks in 3 key states (Wis., Mich., and Penn.) who did not stay home. I suspect that a lot of those folks probably thought the way you did with McCain and Romney that he was not going to win, but they voted anyway thank goodness.

    Living in California, my vote 9 times out of 10 is meaningless, maybe an occasional proposition here and there but never in the general, but I vote anyway because I want to be part of the process. It sounds like you feel the same way.

  12. @Rich Taylor (at 9:55 pm): I DO feel the same way, and I have been trying to get that point across for lo these many comments, but to no avail until now. I mean, if I said something like, “If I had known Obama was going to get re-elected, I’d have shot myself”, would you panic and call the suicide hotline? No you wouldn’t. It’s a sarcasm, and not to be taken seriously.

    FWIW, I didn’t have a lot of hope that Trump would be elected, but I voted for him anyway. His election is the main reason I have no faith in polls, no matter what outcome they predict. At their best, polls are meaningless. At their worst, they can discourage voting and influence election results.
