   Lee Lofaso to BOB KLAHN   
   Welcome to our inconsistent world   
   14 Nov 12 21:23:48   
   
   Hello Bob,   
      
    MM>> Its weird, even though I am not voting for Obama, it seems the   
    MM>> Romney supporters are much nicer than the Obama supporters   
      
    LL>> Really?  Tell that to CNN.  I seriously doubt any Obama   
    LL>> supporter would even contemplate blowing up CNN   
    LL>> headquarters. Or MSNBC headquarters.  Or any other news   
    LL>> headquarters.  Not even FoxNews headquarters.   
      
    LL>> and silly. Such statements seek to divide, rather than   
    LL>> unite, creating an "us versus them" mentality.   
      
   BK>Not sure that's a bad idea.   
      
   Adolf Hitler was as nice as could be, and yet truly evil.  He had the   
   German people fully behind him, believing in him as saviour.  And not   
   just the German people, but also others, such as Austrians, Swiss, and   
   other peoples of Germanic descent.  Civility can, and often is, used   
   as a mask to disguise evil.   
      
    MM>> even though I may be voting for Gary Johnson as demonstrated   
    MM>> by some of my comments on progressive blogs. I am not voting   
    MM>> for Romney either, but the problem is I do not like either   
    MM>> major party candidate.   
      
    LL>> President Obama thanks you for your support.   
      
   BK>Esp in his second term.   
      
   Barack Obama is young enough that after finishing his second   
   term in office he could stay out four years and then be elected   
   to a new first term and subsequent second term.  Of course, Bill   
   Clinton could have done that.  But he knew better than to get in   
   the way of his wife.   
      
    MM>> Marijuana raids on medicinal dispensaries are at its highest level   
    MM>> compared with the George W Bush administration and Obama violated   
    MM>> his pledge he made during his first campaign.   
      
    LL>> President Obama placed his hand on the Holy Bible and swore   
    LL>> to defend the Constitution, not just uphold it as other   
    LL>> Federal officials are sworn to do.  He made that solemn   
    LL>> oath not to the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, but   
    LL>> to the American people.  Chief Justice Roberts was there to   
    LL>> make sure he did it, and did it right.   
      
   BK>And yet Chief Justice Roberts got it wrong.   
      
   That's the thing about being Chief Justice.  If you make a mistake,   
   you can correct it.  As many times as necessary.  Without ever having   
   to worry about getting fired.   
      
    LL>> Yes, Obama fucked it up the first time, with Chief Justice   
    LL>> Roberts making him do it over again in order to get it   
    LL>> right.   
      
   BK>No, Roberts got it wrong, Obama just repeated what Roberts said.   
   BK>He did it over to get it right later.   
      
   Monkey see, monkey do.   
      
    MM>> Also, President Obama is not really for peace   
      
    BK> ...   
      
    LL>> OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD!!!   
    LL>> MOAMMAR QADDAFI IS DEAD!!!   
    LL>> HOSNI MUBARAK IS DEAD!!!   
      
   BK>True.   
      
   Republicans hate that.  Really ruins their day.   
   A black man doing what a white guy failed to do.   
      
    LL>> Tyrants around the world (especially in the Muslim world)   
    LL>> have been dethroned or decapitated, with others soon to join   
    LL>> them (Bassar al-Assad should be getting a hint).  A man of   
    LL>> peace is making peace through strength, just like Ronald   
    LL>> Reagan.   
      
   BK>Ronald Reagan failed completely.   
      
   Ronald Reagan bombed Libya, killing the mad dictator's adopted   
   infant daughter.  That has to count for something!   
      
    MM>> Just because I am not voting for Obama does not mean I am   
    MM>> voting for Romney.  Romney does believe in most of the bad things   
    MM>> President Obama partakes in   
      
    LL>> Mitt Romney is an empty suit, and will tell an audience   
    LL>> whatever it wants to hear, in order to get himself elected.   
      
   BK>True. I believe he is a sociopath.   
      
   There are two very different kinds of sociopaths.   
   There are dumb sociopaths, and there are smart sociopaths.   
   It is the smart ones that you have to worry about.   
      
    MM>> To be fair, 5% makes a difference this year.   
      
    LL>> Dream on.   
      
   BK>5% makes a difference... to the loser.   
      
   Well, you right.  Gets your party recognized.  At least in Louisiana.   
      
   BK> .005% is good enough to the winner.   
      
   GWB was happy with having just one vote more than his opponent...
