and my issue is that while you were having a nice conversation to her face, you're coming over here and saying 'wow what an idiot, all these people not voting or voting for someone else are just like the mccain supporters.'

Wow. Tell me where I used the word "idiot."

And you know what the punchline is? That apart from adding that I had said this to many people, I said the exact same thing to her that I did on here. So what's all this about calling your friend an idiot behind her back?

I didn't even call the non-voters idiots.

So again, for the cheap seats: Yes, I think a vote for someone else is the equivalent of not voting when you get down to the counting. Yes, to everything I said already, both to your friend, and here on my blog--which was, outside of a few corrections and justifications that I also knew people who weren't voting at all--exactly the same thing. And this "calling someone an idiot behind their back" is ridiculous.

I'm pretty sure that's covered everything.
