Absurd voter comment of the day (overheard on radio) ...

[texpatriot2004]

Oh jeez, oh pete. So, I am listening to public radio on the way home today. I catch this segment where some journalist is asking some "average" American voter what their priorities are in this election and the guy says,

"Abortion and Stem Cell Research...I can't vote for anyone who murders people."

Where do they find these yahoos? I detest one issue voters, especially under this criminal administration but even in "normal" times our society is way too complex to vote single issue; that's my first problem.

The second problem is, pardon me, but those crazy right wing fanatics are murdering thousands of people and that is somehow okay as long as nobody gets an abortion, or uses stem cells? That's just stupid IMHO.

1. I'm with you

I also don't get why anyone would make opposition to gay marriage the one issue they vote on.

9. No American should vote one issue, especially these days

lest they lose their ability to be so philosophical regarding said issue. In other words, if their freedom of speech and other rights disappear it won't matter about their single issue.

2. Where do they find these yahoos??

They solicit them, go through as many phone calls as they have to to find a crazy , and then put him on the air. I suppose that they do this either to entertain or to make sane people who live in enclaves of sane people aware that the outside world is crawling with nutz.

3. We had one of those over here today

Caller says that he is an "undecided" voter, but is leaning toward voting for the Republican candidate for Congress because our current Democratic congressman "votes with the atheists 40% of the time". Host asks him "Where did you hear that?". Caller says it was on a flyer that he found on his car windshield after he got out of church on Sunday. That's nice.....base your vote on information contained in a windshield flyer. :crazy:

5. Yes, exactly, that's absurd and not very smart. They don't

consider the source, hell, they don't even know the source and they are too lazy to find information and facts for themselves. AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG!

[Fierce]

4. Election coverage is some of the laziest there is.

If I wanted to know how my neighbors/people in my town were voting, I'd ask them. And if I wanted to know how they were voting in PA, I'd ask them. Texas? I'd ask them too. The thing is, I don't want to know. I especially don't want to know WHY they're voting the way they are. I'M TALKING TO YOU, NPR!

6. I worked with a guy like that until they canned him.

He was smoking a lot of weed and got into car accidents and was out sick a lot and I think he had a mental meltdown or two.

When he said he voted for Bush (this is Blue Country) for one reason and that was abortion, my coworker and I almost fell off our chairs.

He was a shitty programmer, too.
