afleitch vs. jmfcst

[Joe Republic]

Of course for this we have to assume afleitch is constitutionally eligible.

We'd have to assume the same for jamfest, as he'd need to be of sound mind.

[Joe Republic]

Although obviously I would vote for Afleitch; sadly, I doubt he'd win.  Given the choice between a gay guy with a British accent and a libertarian outlook, and a deeply religious conservative from Texas, I think we all know how the map would look.

[Joe Republic]

Utah would be an interesting one.  Jamfest has frequently argued that Mormons are not actually Christians, which probably wouldn't go down too well in the Beehive State.  I still think they'd vote for him over Afleitch, but turnout would probably be rock-bottom.

[Joe Republic]

Um, no you wouldn't.  You're either joking or deluded if you think that.

[Joe Republic]

I grew up in neighborhood that was 98% black.  I share their social views and certain lifestyles are even more taboo among blacks than with me.  I could go into the black churches and preach from their pulpits and win the backing of a vast majority of black pastors.

Don't mind me asking, but whereabouts was this neighborhood?  Unless it actually was D.C., I really hope you're not assuming that all black people share the same social views wherever you go.

And Afleitch wouldn't do the same?

Perhaps so.  However, your opponents would be quick to highlight your belief that Catholicism is a deeply flawed version of Christianity.

And Afleitch isn't?  (I don't actually know this for sure, but I haven't seen him baying for Israeli blood either.)

OK.

It would be easier for Afleitch to win Utah than D.C!  See, I can make stuff up too!

[Joe Republic]

I would alienate the South to win the black vote and STILL easily carry the South.

Like Utah, turnout would be rock-bottom, though.

You seem to forget that the social views of this forum are NOT in sync with the social views of the electorate.  Mine are.

Ignoring the chaff there, my point was that Utah would face a choice between a gay libertarian and an evangecial who believes their religion is a cult.  They would still vote for you, but turnout would be rock-bottom.

And in the South, if you feel you really have to alienate them too, then turnout would be rock-bottom there as well.

Dude, if they didn't vote for gay marriage, they ain't gonna vote for you.

Many people would vote against gay marriage, but it would have nothing to do with them being gay.  A significant number of gay people themselves would vote against it (ex. Richius).

[Joe Republic]

No jmfcst, give me a break for once and stop jumping to conclusions about me. Agreed? Maybe if you listened to people before you started ranting about them or pre-judging them you wouldn't be such a social pariah on this forum.

You mean you're not really a flaming homosexual?

Who said anything about 'flaming'?  Would it make you happier if he was?

[Joe Republic]

What's the definition of a "flaming homosexual" as opposed to a homosexual that is not flaming anyways? Is there one? I doubt it.

 

in the closet = non-flamer
out of closet = flamer

Incorrect.  The common meaning of the word 'flaming' in this context is a guy who is flamboyantly gay and/or effeminate.  There are many 'butch' gay guys, for example.  And just normal gay guys too.

And I am sure Sodom was also perverted, I mean "open minded".

Your fairy stories are irrelevant.
