    Why do people think they have the right or intellect to tell me how to vote ?

    As many have said we are here to hear differing opinions. That's all.

    Sorry if that sounded kind of rude.

    You might want to stay away from the political threads if you get upset like this. If you are an Obama supporter, I can well understand why people are telling you not to vote for him. This is just an opinion, that's all. The same as those people "telling" you how to vote. All opinions that you do not have to follow. I do not see the problem here.
    flaminghanky

    Not a problem. Nor was my inquiry. Simple interest on the pulse of our country. But, thank you just the same.

    I don't give a flying flip how you vote.

    flaminghanky

    Nor I you, Thanks for your opinion.

    Everyone,s entitled to their own opinion on anything, not all will agree, it,s up to you, and you alone who or what you vote for, no one can tell you different.

    flaminghanky

    You get it too many do not. That is sad. Hopefully we can get our minds out of the dark ages & forge ahead.

    flaminghankie: I'm somewhat confused by your comment. The head of the Republican party I'm sure would suggest that you vote Republican. The head of the Democrat party would do likewise for the Democrat candidate. I've heard President Obama ask people to vote for him. You find that strange ???? Why ??? Dark Ages ?? You don't think a candidate for office should ask for your vote ???? Strange...

    You have every right to vote the way you see fit.  Just tell them to bugger off.

    Or..."I have my own opinion on the subject, thank you"! :)

    It's called propaganda, any try to get your own party to win. Just keep your head on tight and vote for whom you wish............

    I think everyone has thier oppinions on this site I really dont think we are telling you how to vote I just think everyone is saying thier oppinion nothing else ITS Called Freedom Of Speach x

    flaminghanky

    Oh yes-I totally agree. Just occasional hard core know it alls. Just looking for true opinions. Hopefully not someone else's. Thank you for your opinion.
    melandrupert

    flaminghanky thanks lol

    They don't. Vote as you see fit. (Pssst) Republican.

    flaminghanky

    Not totally sure but, love the (Pssst)
    doolittle

    LOL! (Psst) Maybe mabe not!
    valR

    Pssssd... Shhhh... Ed is right, Ed's on the right.
    Bob/PKB

    (Pssst) You are getting sleepy....vote Republican.

    Do they think that, or are they simply trying to have a discussion about a topic that interests them and (obviously) you?


    Doesn't it make life much more interesting when you are able to have lively discussions with people, agreeing or disagreeing?  Personally, I can hotly disagree with someone and still like them a lot!  As far as voting, it still is a secret ballot, so I'm quite sure that you will be able to mark your X, whereever you like! 

    flaminghanky

    The secret ballot hasn't slipped my old mind.And yes discussion seems to be the quickest method of finding out who or what your dealing with. And I do find it some what interesting.Thanks for sharing that.

    If my English was better this is exactly how I would have answered this Q. Thank you :)

    ...and listen carefully to the candidates to find out what they believe.
    Headless Man

    Vote your educated mind not your heart, you might just have heart burn.........lol

    There are three dangerous topics 1) politics 2) religion 3) sex....because people believe what they believe and MANY will try to convince you that there way is the ONLY RIGHT WAY... just tell people you do not discuss politics and walk away if they insist on talking about it!!!!

    flaminghanky

    Oh thank you. I am in control & feeling fine. There are some who just get way out of line every once in a while. Even that,s o.k. occasionally- suppose we're all guilty. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

    It's merely a suggestion, made with excruciating forcefulness.  Just ignore it.  

    west-bus

    Many congratulations! Oh! is that your daughter? Nice picture.
    Bob/PKB

    :D It's me. No daughters, just the three sons.
    valR

    Your sons must be good looking and sexy...

    You cannot control others except yourself.  Vote for your favorite, not others'.


     

    flaminghanky

    Thank you!

    You can vote for whomsoever you wish, but if you lived in Australia, we'd tell you whom to vote for...heh...

    flaminghanky

    Yeah probably so. Because if I lived in Australia. I,d be eating' those nifty mushrooms & drinking' gobs of Foster throat lube.

    Everyone has an opinion, and its often unfortunate some choose to inflict this strongly on others,I usually avoid confrontational debates on politics, I don't however mind discussing issues proposed, or politics in a calm and reasonable manner, we often discuss government issues at work, and at the pub over a beer.

    "Over a beer" often provides an extra bit of liveliness! lol
    flaminghanky

    BEER! I,m there. Calmly is the proper way-of coarse. When folks try to change history to fit their stories.I will not care for it much. I have never had a knock down over anything political. All is fine. I'm still putting nick names with the less than civil.I know short term memories & the 60's may have been a bad mix.







    Who are these people? Everyone's entitled to their own opinion however wrong.  Every voter can vote for the candidate of their choice however bad. Just don't go on the street if you are not happy with the results of the election.


     


     

    flaminghanky

    I agree that's just as it should be. I was referring to those that claim history to be as they twist it. & Thanks much.
    Bob/PKB

    Some of those people would be Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Greta and Geraldo, and that's just the conservative bunch known nationwide. I get sick of them and I'm a conservative. All the yelling and butting in they do with their "guests" just drives up the wall. It's the only thing my mom has on TV when I visit....which is why I don't visit too often! :(
    valR: My 3 sons are definitely handsome in my eyes (sexy in the eyes of their girlfriends and wannabes). I'm now in contact and good terms with all three, and have started seeing my granddaughters. Happy New Year!
    valR

    HNYTU!

    Your opinions are your own, so don't give your power to others. Remember that free advice is usually worth what you pay for it!

    Bob/PKB

    Killer answer, witchway. Excellent points.

    " I (Panda) suggest you study all the candidates proposes, where by you can come to your own proposal that corresponds with your own "ideals" as to how how our nation should be governed."

    flaminghanky

    Plan to do just that.Thanks, for input.

    Vote however you want, as long as it makes me happy..................lol

    flaminghanky

    Oh ya U know what a people pleaser I "can" be.

    VOTE FOR WHO'S EVER RUNNING AGAINST OBAMA.

    Ron Paul!

    GO GIANTS!!!!! WOOT....CHEESE AND CRACKERS TODAY!

    You vote on what you feel the candidate who is best for you.     Your vote is YOUR VOTE !!

    ... and in a country like ours we really deserve (like them or not) the leaders we (including the ones that have the right to vote but don't )  ellect.

    Most people don't want to tell you how to vote. They want to persuade you that you are wrong and theirs is the correct position.

    do your own thing,vote how you want. Voting is a privelege.
