I was just told by someone who voted Romney in the last election, that he wants to vote for Bernie Sanders in this election. He also said he'd vote Trump over Hilary.

Pls halp.

He votes for people rather than policies, I'd imagine. Also, he has **** taste in people.

Given the choice on the latter two, I'd throw away my vote on a third party candidate in a completely pointless show of defiance. Beyond that, I haven't really considered who I like on the Republican side. Too many for me to bother looking too closely at their policies. On the Dem side, I'd prefer Biden if he were an option.

Edit: I know no one cares. I'm just burning time for my medicine to kick in so I can go to bed.

Most people's personal political positions don't align perfectly with either the Republican or Democratic party platforms. Most of those people tend to side with one of those two parties because it has more in common with their positions than the other, and if one party does so more consistently over time, they will identify themselves as "A Republican" or "A Democrat". Some people, however, have a set of positions that's nearly evenly matched or not matched across those party lines. And those people will tend to dance back and forth, taking up support for candidates that can seem pretty darn inconsistent. And yeah, some of them really don't know a darn thing about politics, but just pick people based on criteria that seems pretty darn unfathomable. I'd have hard time imagining anyone supporting Romney in one election and Sanders in the next, but that's because I (like most people) presumably measure based on things like economic/social positions (on which the two are about as far apart as you can get). But for all we know, this guys keying in on speech pattern, or body language, or hair color, or who the heck knows?

Not everyone views politics through the same lens.

As much as I despise the almighty Adsense filter, I wish it would filter "darn". Then, when gbaji posted, it would look like he's cursing like a sailor. Smiley: laugh

Speaking of which, Kim Davis is switching parties to become a Republican. Which surprises me, because I had figured she was a Republican all along.

Y'all can have her.

I knew she was a Democrat and assumed that she fit into the blue collar, union family (coal miners probably, given it's KY) style Democrat. Conservative social values but believes in Roosevelt style government programs.

My local paper recent had an opinions piece letter by a resident stating he was finally certain Obama wasn't a Muslim after hearing Obama's address to the pope. He seemed genuinely apologetic for having misrepresented Obama.

Lot of mixed feelings there.

If Bernie doesn't make it to the primaries, I'll probably vote for Gary Johnston again.
