This is surreal. Why anyone would purposely choose to do something that would benefit the criminal Bush is so odd to me.

How does one reason with someone who disregards reason? What is the use in presenting facts to someone who takes a position that's not grounded in fact?

3. HA! But it's true!
Good, it is a shame that Bush will get another term because of the two current ho-hum candidates we have running. Oh well, looks like the media did their job, elimnate any real competition to *.

5. Yes... God forbid we listen to voters overall
Let's listen to only disaffected supporters of candidates the voters didn't like, instead!

7. LOL... An Excellent Example
The people who think this way are clearly out of touch with the reality of the situation that Kerry is actually getting the votes and the other contenders did not.

Is it voter fraud? A conspiracy? We don't know... nobody will say.

I simply do not know how to respond to people who choose to deliberately discard reason and who defiantly disregard facts. It is surreal...

I've fallen down a rabbit hole and can't get out!

10. Indeed. And their solution? The nominee should be ..... drumroll ...
a candidate who couldn't win a single fucking primary, came in 3rd, 4th, or worse in most of them, with mostly Democrats voting, and HE is the ONLY one that can possibly beat Bush in the GE. :eyes:

Illogical. Irrational. Unreasonable.

Thank you. That will be all.

12. There is no sense in trying to reason with someone who refuses
to reason. I don't try. It's like trying to argue with a drunk. Dumb idea.
