U.S. Economy Shrinks in 4th Qtr

[Ben Kenobi]

I won't vote for a chameleon social policy Republican with no personal integrity who feels entitled to buy an election with her own money. And I don't vote for Babs, I try to sit that one out unless someone worse has a chance of running.

But you said you just voted for Babs. :hmm: Did I misunderstand? I have no problem with choosing to sit out - God knows I filed plenty of protest votes when I lived in Canuckistan. Voted all over the political spectrum. Picked a winner once, when I voted for the Liberal party.

Even though he's fairly socially conservative, I would have given Jon Huntsman a lot of consideration if he'd won instead of Romney. I'll take integrity and competence and relevant experience, even if I don't agree with many policy details.

Uh, yeah. I don't think your opinion is going to carry much weight in swinging the election nationally. Heck, even ol' Herman got more votes.

If it's interested in being nationally relevant, however, it should pretend to care about enough of the electorate to actually get elected.

I'm sure picking up the Huntsman voters will turn the tide next time.

I voted for her once in four elections. That was when she ran against Bruce Hershensohn (sp?), so that was the first time she ran. I considered voting for Matt Fong the second time, but sat out tht one through this last one with Fiorina.

That's because most of the electorate, especially the primary electorate, are pretty ****ing dumb.

It couldn't possibly be that Huntsman sucked as a candidate, no?

Back to the economy. It shrank 0.1%.

Apparently they're in the minority, since the Kenyan soshlist marksist commie muslim anti-Christ^TM won again.

Subject to future revision like all other periods and for an number of identified one-off reasons.
