You know quite well how and why you threw down the race card.Right2Carry wrote:I didn't play a race card. I made a referance to a scare tactic that is often used on people who didn't vote for Obama.

As for your hunting dog analogy, the guy with the most votes wins so maybe you'll reconsider not voting for Cornyn. Plan A is for a candidate to get you to vote for him. Failing that, Plan B is to get you not to vote for his opponent.Right2Carry wrote:That dog won't hunt anymore.

If a man can't stick by the principles he campaigns on then he doesn't deserve my vote. My vote is worth something and it won't be cast anymore for the lesser of two evils. Cornyn is not very far removed from McCain and I consider them the be two peas in a pod.
In another post you say guns and saving babies aren't enough for you because you want fiscal responsibility also. Well you aren't going to get it with Alameel and he'll also take your guns and kill babies in the process of spending your money.

I guess no one is allowed a dissenting opinion on a candidate around here anymore. I guess we have forgotten how to hold our elected officials accountable for their actions because of what we might get. Maybe if our elected officials were scared of the voters and what they might do things would change.
I have a right to my opinion on Cornyn just like ever other member on this board.
I still don't understand how my statement was deemed throwing a race card when that was not my intention at all.
Nevertheless, back to the issue. Yes, you have every right to both an opinion and to refrain from voting for Cornyn. That's not the point. The point made by Keith was that by not voting for Alameel, for whatever reasons you deem appropriate, you are helping to put Alameel in the United States Senate. Rather than acknowledge that fact, you chose to deny it and analogize Keith's statement to opposition to Obama. The irony is that Alameel is far worse on the issues you (and I for that matter) hold dear.

His opponent is an unknown and not likely to be good on our issue, but at least they will not have the seniority of Burnam.
