I am voting for X. But if Y wins the election...

Undertoad · 09-26-2008, 11:04 AM

I am offering this pledge, with the hope that other Americans pledge with me, if you have made a choice, substituting where necessary:

I am voting for Obama. But if McCain wins the election, I will remain open-minded, optimistic, and will wait patiently to see what comes of his leadership of the country.

Now you post it. With feeling.

I am voting for Z; but when X or Y wins, I'll just have to see how things turn out.

Pico and ME · 09-26-2008, 11:07 AM

If McCain wins I will be accepting, but in a sadly fatalistic way.

This country does need a change. I dont know if Obama actually has the vision for it or not, but I dont trust in McCains vision because it is being hijacked by the current one.

I like the idea of this thread.

I am voting for Obama. But if McCain wins the election, I will remain open-minded, will try to be optimistic, and will wait patiently to see what comes of his leadership of the country.

Pico and ME · 09-26-2008, 11:11 AM

Oops, I didnt follow the rubric.

Ibby · 09-26-2008, 11:14 AM

If I could vote, I would vote for Obama. But if McCain wins, I will really, really try not to lose ALL faith I have in America.

As Americans, I think we always have hope that the guy won't screw it up, even if our guy doesn't win the election (well, except G-dub's second term, that was just devastating.)

I'd like to say it along with you all, but how long do we have to remain optimistic before we get to say I told you so? I need limits on this contract, otherwise it's unenforceable.

Good boy, now drink this Kool-aid!

xoxoxoBruce · 09-26-2008, 12:03 PM

If McCain wins, I'm moving to England and rub noses with Sundae Girl.

classicman · 09-26-2008, 12:04 PM

I've basically been saying that for awhile - things could still change - I'll watch the bogus debates and that which happens in the coming month to see...

footfootfoot · 09-26-2008, 12:19 PM

If Obama wins and manages to finish his term, then I will eat my hat. However if McCain wins whether or not he finishes his term. I will not eat any hats but will remain open minded about those who do eat their hats.

forgot to mention that I will vote for my fellow Irishman, Mr. O'Bama

Shawnee123 · 09-26-2008, 12:52 PM

Wait a sec: is eatin' hats in this contract too? Way too much pork in this contract...

I am voting for Obama; but if McCain wins, I will be praying fervently for his continued life and health. Even as an avowed atheist, I will be praying. Anything to avoid President Palin. :shudder:

I am not 100% for or against either candidate. I think they both have good and bad points, so whoever wins I will have something positive to focus on.

The republicans are less likely to try to take my guns.
The democrats are less likely to give my money to their churches.
And so on.
