  1. Sorry not sorry for having standards.

  2. I am going to start by saying that I am not personally very knowledgeable about Ro's voting record and am not claiming anything about his voting record. That said the point I would like to make is that a person's voting record and where they get the money for their campaigns says far more about whether someone is a "wolf" then who they endorse. I would actually like it if we as a society got away from endorsements even being a thing and think their importance is wildly overblown. (not that I have any illusions of them actually going away)

  3. Pappy so you expect a human being to be perfect and if they are not you are going to call them a sellout? It was an endorsement and you are acting like it was his soul. I'm not suggesting that it is nothing. It is something. But you are proving my point that some wildly overblow the importance of an endorsement. You want to question his decision? Fine that is perfectly reasonable. You want to use this as motive to go over his voting record with a certain amount of skepticism? That too would be reasonable to me. But to say you literally don't give a flying fuck about anything else about him and think that that is literally all you need to know about him anymore is fucking absurd.

  4. I remember the good old days when people used the word sellout correctly. It doesn't mean "they did something I disagree agree with" like some seem to think.

  5. Pappy regarding, "I never said anything of the kind." You may not have explicitly said it but that is clearly what you demonstrate you think... You demonstrate that you literally need to only know one thing about them and that one thing makes everything else about them irrelevant. Regarding, "it was a lie" Huh? You are using the word lie wrong just like you use the word sellout wrong. You are talking about a fucking endorsement. An endorsement is, by it's nature, an opinion. Regarding, "(to endorse) is not a serious thing" Yes. That is what I'm saying. I guess it has to do with the fact that I personally do not a give a flying fuck about endorsements candidates do and do not have when voting. I'm not a fucking sheep who needs to be told by others who to vote for. I make that decision for myself and don't give a fuck who Ro or anyone else endorses. Regarding, "You claim that I am making a mountain out of a molehill?" Yes. Absolutely. Regarding, "Its a specific statement of political policy." No. It isn't. It is a vague statement of a political person. There is absolutely nothing specific about it when it comes to policy. Ro could disagree with literally any position a person he endorses has and still legitimately be willing to endorse them. You know what is a specific statement of political policy? Specific statements of political policy and specific votes on political policy. Regarding, "I care about policy." You say this but you demonstrate otherwise when you say, "I don't really care about his past voting record." Regarding, "I honestly want to know." How about literally everything else the guy does other than an endorsement like, specifically, his voting record. Because like I've already pointed out that tells you far more about the guy. That tells you how he GOVERNS. Which I personally think should be far more important to you than it is because... like I've said, you demonstrate you don't give a fuck about how he has governed because of a fucking endorsement. Regarding, "If he is a sellout." I really hate that nowadays some people seem to think sellout means "does something I disagree with" as opposed to what it actually means.

  6. As it should. He does great work.

  7. They are like a women who has been cheated on a lot. They do have good reason to be skeptical.

  8. Ok. I agree with you that he was wrong on this. But let's not pretend this was his soul. It is an endorsement. His voting record is far more important.

  9. So you are going to use the actions of one person to paint a picture of an entire group of people? That is pretty fucked up.
