We cannot possibly have much longer...............

No, people like you are sickening. You ruin life for everyone else and then smugly brag about it. We truly are a country full of retards, you Eurisko being two of the biggest ones.
After all of the stealing done by the RNC/Romney campaign, I will never ever support him. I hope Obama mops the floor with him and have no doubts he will.

What's even worse is that the OP didn't even support Romney. He is a defected Gingrich supporter. He didn't believe anything Romney said either, he wanted a moon colony, but when he realized that wasn't possible he decided he would side for continued deficit spending and endless wars.
He is a deep believer in the two party system and believes anyone but Obama is the answer. I dislike both Romeny and Obama, but I prefer Obama 100 times over. The people who vote for these puppets will be continually screwed over by those they support and continue to support them, because they aren't critical thinkers, I hate to say it, but they are stupid.

Ron Paul is doing the delegate battle just as much as romney according to some Ron Paul people, so if you believe the Paul fanatics, will you hold them accountable? As well?edit on 27-5-2012 by jjf3rd77 because: (no reason given)

This has nothing to do with the left right paradigm. Romney is probably about as moderate as you're going to ever get. He is a centrist! At least on social issues. On the economy, he's pretty conservative.

He is doing a delegate battle, yes, but he is following their rules and beating them at it. He can't win, Paul I mean, I agree with you about this, but where we differ is, I think it's tragic, you think it's great.

It's to tiny to read but your new avatar appears to be the Libertarian map that goes beyond the single dimension of Left/Right adding the second dimension of Authoritarian/Libertarian. That is an important addition and to me the only one that really matters. You seem not to have broken beyond that first dimension though. Perhaps you are essentially dyed-in-the-wool authoritarian and nothing else matters. Most politicians are, particularly Republicans. Romney is no different in that regard.
At a press conference I saw a man with multiple sclerosis roll up to Romney in his wheelchair to ask his stance on medical MJ. Without hesitation Romney replied absolutely not, totally against it. I can understand Pharma and the hidden government (CIA and such) wishing to maintain their profits against this backyard panacea that is virtually free. But with the problems and costs prohibition places on society along with the vast numbers that favor its normalization it is just too great to brush off so cavalierly. Likewise on many issues.
I realize personal liberty and civic responsibility means nothing to you and other authoritarians, other than your desire to impose your will over people, but with your new-found political map avatar and now defining Romney as a centrist is all a bit disingenuous.
I can see you are learning and this period of quickening may help lead you to important realizations. I hope these coming months will lead to some awakening for you. Keep trying but don't let your ego keep you from recognizing your short-sightedness.

...First off the map is free as well. Asking you to donate doesn't make it any less free.
But that is neither here nor there that is just another idiotic distraction of yours.
What you don't understand is that when they are bound to vote for Romney that that means they have to vote for Romney and no one else in the first round of voting. What you don't understand is that they can abstain from voting and that does not violate the rule because they aren't voting for someone other than Romney by abstaining. So if they abstain from the first vote they can vote for whomever they want in the rest of the voting rounds. I have explained this so many times and you can't understand it.

Many people do not agree with medical marijuana with many good points.
Eight in 10 Americans support legalizing marijuana for medical use and nearly half favor decriminalizing the drug more generally
With New Jersey this week poised to become the 14th state to legalize medical marijuana, 81 percent in this national ABC News/Washington Post poll support the idea, up from an already substantial 69 percent in 1997.
They are more worried about putting food on their tables and finding jobs, then they are getting more drugs!

Do I think you are an authoritarian? In that you openly state you are part of that minority of less than 1 in 5 that are against it, against the states that have passed these laws, and openly support a candidate who will use Federal resources to maintain a war against these states' laws and the individuals residing in them then I would say YES, you support an authoritarian agenda for big, wasteful, and imposing government.

Back on topic: This thread is about Romney and his delegates. Stop trying to distract people and derail the tread to make it be about something else entirely!

The Only difference between the US and the Middle East is that we do not believe in real evil. We believe mass murderers and insane dictators can be good. But their people live it everyday!
Ron Paul has been finished ever since he has stopped spending money IMHO! How do you expect to win anything in politics without spending ANY money??? Seriously you guys are going to be in for a rude awakening this time around. I only wish I was around in 2008 so I could compare the two!

All you anti-paul people had better get a grasp of this very simple concept. Let me repeat -
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS NOT A PURE DEMOCRACY.
The US of A is a REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY.
A proper understanding of the political system of the country you live in would serve a lot of these people well.
