Is the 'Anyone But Obama' Tactic Smart or Silly?

If you think Mitt Romney is President Obama's only hurdle in the upcoming election, you're wrong. It's Mitt Romney, and... pretty much anyone with $2,500. In Tuesday's West Virginia Democratic primary, inmate Keith Judd trailed by just 18%. That's right, inmate. As in, behind bars. One West Virginia voter explained, "I voted against Obama ... I don't like him. He didn't carry the state before and I'm not going to let him carry it again." So, he voted for Judd. Or, as he put it, "That guy out of Texas."

A little more about Judd. According to Politico, Judd has run for president in every election since 1996, and actually finished third in the 2008 Idaho Democratic primary with 1.7 percent of the vote. He's a former Hollywood musician who claims to be a "Rastafarian-Christian," and lists Richard Nixon as his favorite president because "he got us out of Vietnam, and began world peace with China and the Soviets." Sounds pretty solid. But we've got to ask: Is the "anyone but Obama" tactic a good idea?

    Did not like the limited answers! It is rather REMARKABLE that the Democrats would even ALLOW a convict to be posted against the President... that is in itself disrespectful yet plain stupid!

    The fact that DEMOCRATS were the ONLY ones allowed to vote in this election and greater than 4 out of 10 choose a CONVICT over obama perhaps tells the rest of us just how much OBAMA is disliked.... even by his own party?

    Are you kidding? It simply changed its name back to Progressive, it still exists in the same mold. The American Communist Party went underground right after the Berlin Wall came down and shortly reappeared as a political party in the USA.

    You must be coastal, you are likely on welfare and you need to check out Websters definition of "Sophisticated", the part that expresses "a false sense of superiority."
    You don't sound like an Independent. If only you had a clue, Obama has spent more money than the total of all Presidents in U.S. History and has nothing but Solyndra and 15% unemployment to show for it. (I forgot ACORN). The missing 7% quit looking for non-existent jobs and dropped out. They are still unemployed! Obama has already sold you and I (all Americans) out, with our tax money. You will not learn this from the Putin loving media that we now have. Obama sent a message to Putin that he would do what Putin wanted when he got his second term. Did you miss that? Google IT!

    I'm thankful that I had a Constitutionalist for a Government Professor. You are so correct IF we are on the same track. Sadly, enemies of the Constitution can only resort to name calling. They hate the responsible freedoms that it gives to all of us. Take it away and we become slaves to the government. It is still "We the People." Take it away and we become "We the governed." We are almost there.

    We might be on the same page. My thinking is that the "Anyone but Obama" is an exaggerated stance that has been pushed to far obviously if people are willing to vote for convicts. Obama has not done everything he said he would do, but I don't see how a prisoner would do any better. I personally am a democrat, so naturally Romney and myself don't see eye to eye on many things, but I am not so stubborn or ignorant in my thinking to say that a convicted criminal could do a better job. Hope I made sense :)

    Okay. Good to know you're going with you're beliefs, and not just blindly opposing something you don't like.
    Now bear in mind, the following i say as an impartial outsider. But what if you're wrong? What if what the alternative (still Romney?) is worse for your country then obama is? What if you're part of the minority, and in a fair election he wouldn't gain power, but the oposition of obama puts him in a position he can't handle, doesn't deserve or is worse for then anyone else?

    I'm not saying that because i think he is worse, i know nothing about him, but hypothetically, put aside your own beliefs and look at it from my perspective. Voting for romney simply because he isn't obama is a bad move.

    A story is a (factual or fictional) narrative or account of a series of events.
    This was a lone fact.

    That is one of the stupidest things I have ever read. why the f*ck does it matter what religion the person LYING to you is? Is it any less of a lie if they're christian? It's okay if politicians lie, scheme, manipulate as long as they're not Muslim??? ARE YOU F*CKING SERIOUS???!!

    Yes Joanna I AM serious.

    You posted, "why the f*ck does it matter what religion the person LYING to you is? Is it any less of a lie if they're christian? It's okay if politicians lie, scheme, manipulate as long as they're not Muslim???" Unquote.

    Because Romney is a capitalist, he LIKES money and so did his dad. Where is the slime/mud on this man's fidelity and sexual identity? They better hurry up, cause time marches FORWARD, right? (**me - direct stare atchu'.**)

    No Joanna, it's not okay if (C&P;) politicians lie, scheme, manipulate as long as they're not Muslim???

    Where did I post that? I DID post more than one place here @SH, the 'taqiyya' is in full force at our White House, our foreign born Chiefs of Staff, Cabinet Secretaries and the much beloved 'czars'. The tenacles are moving stealily but surely.

    The Congress' males have been demasculized and the Ladies? Dehumanized. And make no apologies. Scary.
