I've met people who are openly homophobic, racist, hate big Government...and yet embrace Obama and expect to vote for him.

That's when I came to the conclusion perhaps not everyone votes on issues or actual political viewpoints.

I see things different than most. When I see 92% of French people want Obama to win, that makes me want Romney to win. When I see the President defend the probable criminal Treyvon Martin, who for all intents and purposes was the same kind of punk that harassed me back in my grade school days, that makes me want to vote for whoever didn't defend Treyvon. When I see ridiculous union demonstrators and Obama clearly doesn't oppose them, I want to vote against those people and whoever agrees with them.

So my conclusion, based on the few Obama voters I have met, is that they are voting based on personality and not issues, or personal political views.

Wait... what?

You really don't comprehend much outside of your world view do you? Apart, of course, that it's wrong and must be stopped.

I embrace change until it crosses the line.

But you're doing the same thing they are; voting based on personality and small issues rather than issues or political platforms.

Also, regarding Treyvon Martin, it's becoming increasingly clear that Zimmerman shot him in cold blood and that there was no fistfight, so you're wrong on that.

Damn, if even the homophobes are voting for Obama, then Romney is in real trouble! Losing such a crucial McCain demographic,...

Normally I would never post a cheesy 'message' youtube clip, but maybe fighting cheese with cheese is the only way to reach him.

Naso needs a union wage job so he can finally moves out of his parents house, and doesn't waste time coming up with ridiculous things like this.

It's certainly a good thing - for him, and for everyone else - that he'll soon be making some changes. We should all hope that an ounce of worldly experience will broaden his perspective.

Of course they do--that's why Romney has never been siginificantly ahead since the general election campaign began.

He's trolling. There's no way that this is serious.

I'm sure there are some voters who think that Obama is a Kenyan born Muslim, and are voting for him anyways. Romney is that much fail.

That's actually quite reasonable. Because it gets at a very fundamental truth: which organizations in society hold the lever of power within the modern Democratic Party.

Naso's persona clearly has low self-esteem and a small sense of worth, and feels the need to punish all those who don't share his views due to his inferiority. If I were a psychologist, I'd use some fancy terms here to describe this persona's discord with reality, but I am not.
