What’s with voting for someone you have an unfavorable opinion of?

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Hobb’s choice.

Carrick,

Not to be a nudge.  But it’s Hobson’s Choice.
I looked it up the other day for another blog and got to use it.

However, YOU ARE CORRECT - Hobbs or Hobsons, it’s no choice at all.

When did dislike become “hate”?

I see this all of the time anymore. If one opposes a candidate, they “hate” them. If one opposes an idea, they “hate” that idea.

I was taught not to hate. It doesn’t look like others got the message.

Thanks, Gene.  I got a chuckle out of that. 

I was trying to address Whistler’s rather generic question, though I’ll point out that statistically, the same (very small) percentage of people that view them as unfavorable vote for McCain, Romney and Huckabee:  There always has been a certain amount of holding your nose when voting for politicians.  In fact, I have always assumed that was part of the process for operating a voting machine…

None of them have rock-solid numbers at this point.  With all the mud slinging, that’s be almost impossible, but 72% favorable rating is pretty decent, and certainly much more electable than the 50-ish numbers for Huckabee and Romney.

7% of McCain voters see McCain as “unfavorable”.

He sure does have the highest numbers, doesn’t he? He wins in all criteria.

I dunno fellas.

I have been hearing some of the after-action numbers put out tonight by Radio Mark Levin, and from the sound of it, McCain wasn’t getting much more than 30 percent of the Conservative vote.  Most of his support seems to be coming from ‘moderates, ‘ ‘independents, ‘ and other camouflage terms for Left-o-center. 

We (Conservatives) not voting for him, they (Liberals) are.  Some of the conjecture is that Huck is positioning himself as running mate / butt buddy to McCain.  He has effectively siphoned off the religious Southern votes from Romney, kind of like how Perot siphoned off the votes from Bush Sr. and how Nader siphoned off votes from Algore.

With respect to McCain, I don’t dislike or even hate him… I despise his treasonous ass.

If you suddenly inject 20 million plus votes from a Third World country, you are consigning America as we know it to the dustbin of history.  There will no longer be an America. You will have an Americanized Mexico, or a Mexicanized American where, in McCain’s America you will have to wait past the Spanish and press 2 for English, savvy?

If we can form a staunch Republican redoubt, gain some Democratic allies (like we did last summer) we can fight Amnesty.  It’s much harder to do when you’ve voted the prick in.

A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague.
