Republican National Convention

Have some audio to go with that?

My big problem with Mormonism is the no caffeine and no alcohol policy.  Can you imagine waking up in the morning and saying to yourself:
"Is this is good as it's going to get today?"

I gave up coffee in 1986 but have not completely cut out caffeine.  I still like chocolate (Doves Dark is one of my favorites).   I cannot remember really wanting an alcoholic drink in the AM. It must be social conditioning and working the day shift.   I used to mop the floors etc at my favorite bar when I was in the Navy.  I worked the 4-11 shift (really short dinner break) and clean up at the bar in the AM.  I saw the guys getting off the midnight shift come in for a beer or two and realize it was their "5 PM".

Good one.  Not.   

Perhaps you will regale us on how you relate to President Obama on a personal basis.

[TulsaRufnex]

Look how far it's gotten Obama with no other particular talent or leadership skills.

[Hoss]

Perhaps you will regale us on how you relate to President Obama on a personal basis.

As soon as you regale us on how you relate to Romney.  On a personal basis.

How many folks in the black community are out on the links on the weekends with their wealthy Hollywood buddies or the CEO of GE?  Obama is no more connected to the average person than Romney.

Wrong answer.

Obama worked in poor neighborhoods on the southside of Chicago.... Romney spent his youth as a mormon missionary in Paris, avoiding military service in Vietnam... Barack Obama was the son of a single mother of modest means... Romney was the privileged legacy son of a prominent Republican politician...

Like Most Neocons, Mitt Romney Avoided the Draft During Vietnam
Unlike most, however, he has changed his story about it

Romney worked with poor people before he FIRED them!

[Teatownclown]

How could he ignore our military? http://thinkprogress.org/security/2012/08/31/783701/kristol-romney-afghanistan/
Only a draft dodger would be timid on the subject of veterans.

A good argument for why we need to preserve medicare!

What an embarrassment...Mitt goes over seas and can't make a credible display of his ability to lead the international community. Then his birther jokes. Then his people blow the number one moment in the campaign. If this is any indication of these morons running the executive branch we better be prepared to undergo chaos.

What a cop out.

I don't personally relate to Romney.  I just believe he has a better solution to our country's problems than Obama does.  You are the one that seems to be hung up on personal relating.

[Red Arrow]

Wrong answer.

Not wrong, just one you don't like.

[Hoss]

What a cop out.

I don't personally relate to Romney.  I just believe he has a better solution to our country's problems than Obama does.  You are the one that seems to be hung up on personal relating.

Really?  A cop out?

I simply ask you to relate to Romney.  Where's the cop out now?

I've also never said I was going to vote for Obama.  I'm damn sure not voting for Romney though.

[Red Arrow]

Really?  A cop out?

Yep.

I simply ask you to relate to Romney.  Where's the cop out now?

I never claimed to personally relate to Romney.  You seemed to think it was important to relate to the candidate.  I asked first.  You spun the question back to me.  I call that a cop out.

I've also never said I was going to vote for Obama.  I'm damn sure not voting for Romney though.

True.  Can I assume that you are going to abstain?  I can actually understand that.  If someone like Michelle Bachman  had been the party choice, I couldn't vote for either candidate either.

As compared to?

It is important for me to relate to a candidate.  That's why I won't vote for either.

You seem to be hung up on why I'm voting or not voting for whoever.

I will say this.  Any person running for office should be as transparent about their past as possible.  I know who hasn't in this cycle.

He's also been like the Republican version of Al Gore as far as being authentic goes.

I don't really have to explain to anyone my reasons for voting or not voting.  Anyone.

This is my last response on the subject.  And likely my very last response to you.
