Reply #67: Uh, just so you know - those aren't ABB arguments

[Eloriel]

They're candidate-specific arguments (anti-Bush).

My anti-ABB position isn't based on pro-Bush or anti-Bush, but on my beliefs that (1) nobody has the right to tell me what I should do with my vote, (2) these arguments and discussions smack of loyalty oaths, which are distinctly anti-democratic, and (3) the apparently quaint and outdated notion that candidates who want my vote ought to actually earn my vote by representing my voice and concerns -- IOW, that they're not automatically entitled to it. If they know they get my vote automatically, there'll never be any reason for them to do that.
