Thanks for the Rx. We needed that.
Posted by RedCarolina at November 20, 2011 4:13 PMBut what if the Demoncrats panic and decide to run a candidate other than Obama? How will you decide then? More to the point, just how much will you worry now about that possible scenario?
(I know. Might just as well worry about being invaded by space aliens.)
Posted by Grizzly at November 20, 2011 4:19 PMMore and more I find myself worrying less and less.
Posted by vanderleun at November 20, 2011 4:26 PMYou think you won't have anything to worry about until election day. I am willing to bet what little I have that the demonatrix ruling class and their willing tools have plenty of wreckage to wreak on us. Don't get too comfy with your piña colada. Keep your gun handy. You might need it.

Posted by vanderleun at November 20, 2011 4:41 PMNow repeat the Intapundit's oath with me: "I will vote for a syphilitic camel, if it will get Hussein out of the White House."
Posted by Fat Man at November 20, 2011 5:35 PMExactly the right attitude to take. The current breathless who's-up-who's-down business is nothing more than "The Guiding Light" or "As the World Turns" for political junkies. As my Dad used to say to my Mom, "Would you like me to tell you what happens now, or are you going to watch and see for yourself that nothing happens?"
As a kid, I never understood that. I'm beginning to get a sense of it, now.
Posted by shoreacres at November 20, 2011 5:51 PMDamn, Gerard, you are sounding like a Calvinist.
Posted by Pete at November 20, 2011 6:55 PMLast week I stood proud on the hilltop proclaiming I'd not vote for a lesser evil.
But Bone stupid I am not. I will vote, if only to vote against Obama.
I know I will be more sad than I ever have been before, standing there at the little blue voting table, looking down at my choices.
Posted by TmjUtah at November 20, 2011 7:14 PMAn excellent stance. Of course the media will not care for it. They mint a lot of coin off the "race." That's why there's so much spin.
I will be following it, but only from afar until the Not Obama candidate is named. Then I will send money, volunteer for phone work, and any other activity to insure that Not Obama wins.
Posted by Jimmy J. at November 20, 2011 7:31 PMI am mildly political: When I was sixteen (in 1968), I figured out that I was a conservative. When I was older, during the last days of Nixon, I realized (with no small shock) that I was a Republican. While my affections for the Republican Party have waxed and waned through the decades, I am nevertheless, NOT one of them. And by God, I will NEVER vote for one of them. And we all know who them are: lying, whining, grasping pukes. All of them.
Posted by Deborah at November 20, 2011 7:55 PMYes. I am totally on board. Whoever the nominee is, he/she will be better than Obama.
Posted by Expiate at November 20, 2011 8:37 PMCalvinist? Moi? Guilty as charged.
Posted by vanderleun at November 20, 2011 10:22 PMI'm with you Gerard. I may say a small prayer that it isn't Huntsman or Ron Paul, but it will still be OMG-ABO
Like anyone else in my age group, I seem to have lots of friends who are old hippies and they are all big Paul supporters, even those who cleaned up and wear 3 pc suits to work each day.:)Not sure what that is all about.
Posted by Sara (Pal2Pal) at November 21, 2011 12:15 AMThe Jackass Party might wake up and listen to Pat Caddell and Doug Schoen: Democratic Pollsters: Obama Should Abandon Run for Second Term

They want Hillary!
Well then: Cthulhu 2012!
Posted by Robert at November 21, 2011 5:58 PMThe die is cast, and the cards are marked. ABO will be my choice, though once again I'll be holding my nose, I fear.
Posted by Mike Pickering at November 21, 2011 6:17 PMI thought this was so perfectly said that I used it in my pre-debate post this morning:
http://maggiesfarm.anotherdotcom.com/archives/18679-Election-2012-Huckabee-forum-tomorrow-night.html
"Because now that I know I’m voting for the candidate no matter who -- or even what -- it is, I don’t care who -- or what -- it is."
As for the 'what' part, I have a pet rock named 'Chip' that I hereby nominate for the job.
I've certainly made my similar point some weeks back, and Gerard was gracious enough to post it in the honored left-hand column. Thanks again, my friend.
