Do you think Sarah Palin is qualified to serve as VP of the US?

It's at 52% yes, 47% no. Apparently there's an email campaign to tilt the poll towards yes. So, you know, take a sec and go vote.

When did I ask for an opinion? I offered up a link to a poll on another website for you to vote. I didn't even say you had to vote no.

This is getting ridiculous! Im over here compiling a factual response as to why the McCain/Palin ticket would be better than Obama, ((as I think its valid that you asked))
But to say you didnt ask for an opinion when you posted the link to the poll on your site, is inane.

Seriously, lets just agree to disagree! Peace!

No, it's not. It's posting a link. It's not, "Please tell me why you're voting the way you're voting, while you're at it."

Ok, then what is it?
Can we only respond to your comments if we agree with you? because if thats the way it is, I can abide by that...

No, but there's a reason I don't respond to political or religious posts in other journals with dissenting opinions -- because emotions run high, people take it personally, arguments like this start, and I don't think it's polite to start arguments in other people's LJs. You can't possibly have expected to NOT get into a argument here. It's a bit like walking into a biker bar wearing a shirt that says "Leather is for pussies!" and saying, "Hit me!"

UGh! whatever. Excuse me for thinking we could discuss this rationally! Please delete whatever offensive responses you have received from me!
Have a nice day

Excuse me for thinking we could discuss this rationally!

If you thought you were going to get into a rational debate in this blog rather than an argument -- and the bit about marching orders and Obama voters being loud and obnoxious makes me question that -- why pick the post that's simply a link to a poll and probably won't get much of a response instead of one where people will be discussing the candidates and there will be more traffic? Like, say, the debate post from yesterday?

Also, I don't delete comments on this journal. I ban people, but I only rarely do that, and this is certainly not worth banning.

I also see that your Master's Degree in Political Science afforded you the ability to actually be able to READ.

You've been talking to two different people here.

Have a nice day!
