He earned 1.2 million votes compared to 60 million for Romney and 65 million for Obama. Yes, it is a protest vote. Does it support Hillary? It'll take votes away from both Trump and Hillary. It's a totally fair question my friend. Thanks! I was just looking at Fox news just now, and the Libertarian candidate in Orlando was actually stripping in front of the press. They had to digitize the footage. James Weeks, I guess is his name. What timing! Ha! Anyway I appreciate your answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made a claim that you "destroyed" on opponent. I was just saying we remember things differently. On this thread you were the one who made the first post that got personal: On 5/29/2016 at 9:33 PM, yjacket said: I'll get accused of being a Trump supporter, but ... But please, tell me I'm a Trump supporter even though I'll be voting for Gary Johnson . . . . Prior to that no one said anything about you or your support for trump. They only said things about Trump. But when you started the argumentative phase by making the challenge "Please tell me I'm a Trump supporter" and then cry foul when someone did so, is to deny cause and effect.

Thank you Carb for proving my point exactly. I wasn't directing my comments at you but at JAG, but you can certainly add to the mix. That's fine that we remember things differently, I've got no problem with that. I've been told multiple times on other threads I'm a Trump supporter. Anytime someone defends Trump just a bit, JAG comes out of the woodworks and proclaims that someone is a Trump supporter (or is really a Trump supporter, but doesn't want to say so). This has happened multiple times, so pardon me if I'm just a little bit sick of it. JAG has a habit of making assumptions about me as to what I'm posting as to my true intentions and quite frankly I'm tired of it. First off, I did not go on the offensive first. Let's actually look at the timeline. Attack #1. " In that context, it's fascinating to me that even though you claim to support Johnson, and even though we are in a forum where you have a particularly good chance of winning proselytes to Johnson's cause: If my search of the forum is accurate, you've mentioned Trump 29 times and Gary Johnson only once--for first time ever--in this thread. If you defended Johnson with the zeal that you've defended Trump, half of us would probably be on board with you by now. " Then I responded with the destroyed comment. And MG actually came to my defense a little bit before I responded again (thank you MG). The bold portion actually contradicts to some extent later comments that JAG made about how we all know he can't win. And then attacks that well the Libertarian nominee isn't really Libertarian (if JAG was actually deeply involved in libertarianism this might make some sense but he's not). You'll notice there is a pattern here of JAG making assumptions about people that they aren't really xyz. Attack #2. " Yjacket was caught, on these forums, making a number of misrepresentations about the "evidence" of Cruz having an illicit relationship with Amanda Carpenter and falsely suggesting Carpenter was the source of the story about Carson dropping out of the primary even after being shown proof to the contrary. " Instead of just linking, JAG has to insert his absolutely false commentary. Then I responded. Attack #3, " We are apparently in a new form of bizarro-land where you can support Trump in the Republican primary but avoid being categorized as a "Trump supporter" by virtue of your professions of support in the general election for a third-party candidate whose stands you fail to advocate, whose commitment to libertarianism is questionable, and who we all know won't win. " And I responded again. I will respond when attacked. Don't insinuate I'm a liar, really a Trump support (in disguise, b/c I love to lie you know). and don't twist the facts into something they are not and then basically call the person who reported the facts not honest and we will be cool. I will note, that I actually liked it when during political season, current candidates where not to be discussed. In the entire political season, the parent website has published (to my knowledge and I certainly could be wrong though) only one article on political candidates and it was a hit piece on Trump (I wonder if a hit piece on Hillary will be forthcoming?), shoddy reporting and all. That opened Pandora's box. I enjoy discussing politics, but when actual candidates get involved in it people lose their heads.

I've suggested that Mrs. Carb try a chiropractor. She's having back trouble. I'm trying to get the whole family into the meditation thing. They just don't get it. The kids fight all the time. Stress her out. I may suggest yoga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
