It seems a lot like you're doing more than "trying to figure it out" because I have been absolutely clear from the start. You came in here on the defensive saying I was calling your friend an idiot or was implying that she wasn't voting. You came out swinging, when, in fact, I was having a nice conversation with your friend, then took this to my blog to demonstrate that I knew other people who were, in my mind, handing the election to McCain.

You were not arguing that "swing voters exist" or that "people should pay attention." That might be what you're saying now, but that's not what you started out here for.

Still sounds to me like you're saying everyone who doesn't vote for obama is wrong and making a mistake.

Wow, yes, that is my opinion, I have said that for the last year or so. Anyone but Obama = McCain and McCain is destructive. We will continue to lose our basic human rights and resources. We are clear on this. I think Obama is the only choice. You do not have to agree.

But read back to your first bunch of comments. That was not your original argument. Your original argument was that I had somehow "misrepresented" someone I didn't even name. When I pointed out that I was using the same argument that I used for people I actually knew, who, you know, weren't your friend? Then you said that I was "talking behind her back." When I said that I wasn't, you changed it to, "It sounds like you're calling those people idiots."

Decide, then we'll talk.
