Where's BRTD?

I have a feeling he'll sluff it off or say something about every candidate Walter supports loses.

brtd should keep in mind that 2 out of 3 of my presidential preferences thus far have won.

Reading comments others have made in the "world's going to end in December 2012" thread, apparently that means you're due to get one wrong... (although I sincerely hope not).

in general, i do find obama supporters to be obnoxious, idealists and shallow.  and ive never much cared for people who blindly follow the in-crowd.  ive certainly never subscribed to groupthink and stupid self motivational slogans.

Anytime you hang out in a group that favors one candidate and is unrepresentative of the population as a whole, the rhetoric of many of the members of the majority will escalate.

Spending your time on this forum or in the state of MA means you're going to encounter a lot more shallow Obama supporters and intelligent McCain supporters, than, say, if you went down to Mississippi or Utah.  Remember where you are before you extrapolate dawg.

The irony is - I always expected Lunar to break for McCain in the end, and Walter to break for Obama.

Why?

To tell you the truth - I don't know... it's just how I pictured things turning out. It was probably Walter's support for Clinton that made me think of him (in my mind) as a Democrat's voter. I figured as a libertarian, you'd end up supporting McCain, as he's reasonably moderate in the Republican Party, but Obama is from the liberal wing of the Democrats - so I figured of the two, McCain's the more centrist. It was pretty much one of those sub-conscious things that you don't know the reason for until you sit down and think about them.
