Yes. If you do not answer, your statements, the lack of a statement has "no impact". But you don't have no statement, you dance and dodge, you say with great emphasis what you're against, but not what you're for. No Obama. Got it. No Democrats and No Republicans. Ok. In a way, you have already answered the original question, who will you vote for. You've made it clear you'll vote for whoever opposes President Obama in the general election next November. I was asking you to be more specific, you demurred.
How in the world do you expect to have an impact, here in the cellar, if you don't make a statement? Yes, I have the right and the power to say that your silence has no impact. I am the judge.
And name calling? You're accusing me of name calling? Do you mean "twelve"? "shut the fuck up"? What's with it? I'm responding to you, in kind. You asked why you should tell me anything after I asked you to do so--fine, I agreed with you (that didn't work either). An exchange like that is the kind of thing I'd expect to have with a petulant twelve year old.
Best question: Why is it so important to me?
I am interested in learning, mercy. I like knowing more stuff. You have a very different perspective than I do, most especially when it comes to politics. Learning about that difference interests me. How else am I supposed to learn and grow if I only pay attention to the stuff I already know about? And another thing, I like you. I know a bit about you after hanging out with you for years, and I think you're a good guy. We don't see eye to eye on everything, but I am interested in you. Now you might not want to reveal your voting preference, fine, whatever. Just another of life's mysteries to me. But I still read your posts because learning is important to me.
