I won't vote for a Reagan worshipper!
As the title says, if it comes down to Obama v. Romney, instead of voting for whoever is least republican, I'll do a write-in for Edwards. Who's with me?

1. Then you can't vote for either Obama or Clinton
because they've both played the Reagan card to get indy votes.

3. True... and while I can be a pragmatist and understand why
they do this, it still bothers the hell out of me. Reagan, for God's sakes.... This tells me they both will likely NOT encourage accountability towards the Bushies* after they leave office and THAT really infuriates me. I remain undecided and I know a lot of it is strategy and rhetoric, BUT....

11. Clinton, when pressed, said she admired his communication skills.
That's damning with faint praise in my book. And it happened to be true -- his experience as an actor and his communication skills (spinning skills) are why he was viewed so positively as a President. He was brilliant with handling the media.

14. Someone pressed her to post it to her website?
I don't blame either of them in a way. That's just where we are right now.

It would be nice to see the Democrats stop giving credence to RW mythology for a change.

15. That was an editorial by a NH newspaper that was published during
the primary race.

No, she didn't have to post it. As a Democrat, I wish she hadn't. But as a Democrat who wants us to WIN this time, I'm hoping it demonstrates her improving P.R. skills.

Every vote helps, even when they come from those stupid "Reagan Democrats."

16. I have a very strong feeling that we will win no matter who gets the nod
unless we let them steal it again.

Hopefully, we have a good enough election protection infrastructure to prevent that this time. Btw, the Republics in SC today had to suffer BOTH machine failure and running out of provisional ballots.

Karma.

4. LOL!
I think petulance is funny.

:rofl:

And making shit up is fairly amusing as well.

Go for it! Have a sactimonious blast!

It's your vote.

8. You must have loved Reagan huh?
It was great how he busted unions and shit on the poor huh?

Your candidate admires that. That isn't very Democratic at all!

9. I don't think any of the Democratic candidates is a "Reagan worshipper"
Although it does appear to me that the two front-runners wish to attract neo-con and independent votes by invoking his name, I very much doubt either of them "worship" Ronald Reagan. That's just a bit over the top, don't you think?

Oh, and I'll vote for the best candidate on the ballot in the GE - as soon as that ballot is presented to us. No more voting for the "lesser of two evils" for me. Never again.

10. A write-in for anybody is an aid to the Rethug, as you well know.
And Romney is a huge Reagan supporter.

I hope nobody's stupid enough to be with you.

13. I'm so sick of hearing about Reagan.
I got sick of him when he was president too. Of course, I didn't know then how bad it could get.

17. Yes you will- you just said so, right in your OP.
A write-in vote helps the Repubs.

Why do you want to help the Repubs?

18. Wow
Aren't you clever?

With crap like this, your bosses certainly aren't getting their money's worth.
