Do you want Obama back in for four more devastating years? Do you not agree that that would be disastrous for our country? I know you do not like the phrase "the lesser of two evils." But, if you placed all of your statements on a balance, would you be helping elect Obama or Romney? One of them is going to be elected and I just really would like for it to be "the lesser of two evils!" And I may not agree with everything about Romney, but you can bet your sweet ......?, oh, let's go with feet, yea, you can bet your "sweet feet" that there are many more reasons that I want Romney instead of Obama, lesser of two evils or not!!!

As a sister, I love you! As a politician.........

You are right, I certainly do not like that phrase - don't advocate it, never embrace it and never use. It's like saying, "I can't decide which to eat, rat poison or arsenic." Just never did make much sense to me.

I don't have any illusions that you're going to do an about face. Hoping someone who is on the fence and reading will vote to keep Obama out of the WH.

And by the way, maybe the Romney campaign negotiated a deal with Subway to pay $.99 per sub---huh? Huh? Did you ever think of that?

But PO which one are you "not" going to vote for? Your not voting is still a vote for the winner! Who will it be? You're going to be affected by the outcome whether you vote or not! I'd just like to have a say about my future. I know what Obama is. I don't know how Romney will govern, but I sure know how Obama "doesn't" govern! So I'm gonna give Romney and Ryan a chance. Couldn't be any worse than the one in there now! As a Pastor I can't tell anyone in my congregation who to vote for but I can sure tell them "to vote!" And that's all I will say to you. VOTE! Can you do that?

I'm NOT voting for either. Because, I don't have to. I really don't know what you are worried about. If Obama defeats himself, you will get Romney. You don't need my vote.

And I don't know why that bothers everyone so much? If you say many of us that are still anti-Romney are a fringe group, what's the worry all about? I feel the same about Romney as I do Obama - I feel nothing.

Umm, because the DA didn't say they did. All he said is that there were sandwiches left over which means he wasn't bribing anyone. LOL!

LOL! Right and that is why I don't get angry. I don't know you. You're just a user name, a man with a fish, you mean nothing to me and vice versa.

It bothers me because I have three young adult children and two beautiful young grandaughters ages 2 and almost 4. I want to do everything possible to slow down this nations headlong rush to socialism and hedonism.

Despite all of their flaws Republicans represent a distinct and much better pathway forward for our Nation that is in a crisis right now. You are so invested in your gripes you are blind to the overall picture.

Do you make me angry? Yes, because what is at stake is so much more important than your little hissy fit over sandwiches given at a rally or rules you think are not being followed by the party. In light of the situation in our nation it is absurd to not vote because of that.

At the end of the day it is simply a case of sour grapes. Your guys didn't win. If Obama wins because of people like you then you truly will have cut off your nose to spite your face. No person can claim to have the best interest of this country at heart and not cast a vote that will remove Obama from office.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

Re: Romney VP Pick Today 9AM

The answer to America's problems per PO is to not vote Romney/Ryan, but to instead for the idiot gynecologist with the tin foil cap.

Great thinking there PO, great thinking indeed. Let's vote for the senile gyno who wants to abandon Israel. Woo hoo!
