I’m having trouble deciding between the two. Personally, I agree with Baldwin more on issues of gay marriage and abortion.
From what I’ve heard, there is a rumour going around that Barr CLAIMS to be pro-life, but that he coerced a former wife to have an abortion. I could never vote for someone who advocated abortion… But that leaves the Constitution party.
And they believe that it’s right to restrict others personal choices (war on gay marriage, drugs).
Although I believe that both are wrong, and don’t agree with them, in order to have freedom, you must respect the freedom of others as long as they are not hurting anyone else as those that choose to do recreational drugs, or choose to live a homosexual lifestyle are. Not to mention, the war on drugs so far has cost many lives, sent many a young person to prison and taken away their life, and has driven the drug trade into the hands of mafia-esque criminals which is why everyone automatically associates drugs with violence.
The cons outweigh the pro’s on the drug war, it seems, and the libertarian party is against legislating on those that live their lives without harming others (again, homosexuals, drug users)
Anyways…
Who would you vote for? Why?
Do you view some of Baldwin’s views as anti-constitutional, although you might personally agree with them?
I kind of do…
The Libertarian party is more in line with the Constitution, but at the same time… it’s so nice to vote your beliefs into legislation.
Is it right though?
Should you choose your personal morals over the Constitution?
Thanks!

We are going to my wifes Christmas party this weekend…Open bar…Buffett the whole thing…..Should I take advantage of the food and drinks or how do you moderate not to look like a lush? Im sucker for a good gin and tonic and can drink 10 – 12 without being plastered but I dont want to embarass my wife in front of her bosses, this is my first christmas party with her. Help me out
I had just cut the lawn, too, and so there was Claire, crying and blabbering, with grass clippings all over her wet and snotty face. She, as regular readers of my posts know, is my pregnant ex-wife, and last night was the Election, as she was vying for a district attorney post.
She had been down in the polls after it was revealed by her opponent (with photos) that she had cheated on me while we were married with a known felon (and the baby she’s carrying is likely his), and her negative retort, calling her opponent a pedophile, was the talk of Backwater, Fla., but couldn’t really help her gain electoral traction in this Obama year.
Until my best friend and the PI who’d originally gotten the philandering photos of her, Eddie, held a press conference before Channel 71 WKCR News yesterday morning “with information that would blow the lid off this race.” (Is it really a “press conference” if only one news organization shows up?)
Anyway, Eddie, through a friend of his at the bank who he wouldn’t reveal “for his own safety and said employee’s risk of death,” proved with a big, disorganized pile of computer printouts that two large withdrawals of cash from the DA’s bank account could be linked to a strip club at the edge of town that my wife’s affair partner frequented. This felon, Timdawg, had no known job, but was seen on Eddie’s grainy videotapes with large sums of cash at the seedy joint. The strip club deposited the cash back in the same bank the next day. The cash withdrawals perfectly coincided with the two things that Timdawg did during the campaign — stealing and selling the risqué photos of my wife to a Democratic operative working for the DA and the physical attack that Timdawg and his friend laid on me, sending me to the hospital for two weeks.
Previously, the DA had said that it was my wife paying Timdawg to shut me up, as I was, according to the DA, a “socialist, beatnik art professor who, along with her affair, demonstrated her lack of patriotism and integrity.”
“It shows that she’s not just soft on crime,” the DA said. “She encourages it.”
But Eddie proved otherwise, and Claire eked out a narrow victory last night, pending recount. Eddie told me after that he “felt dirty helping elect Claire,” but, “in her own twisted way, she’d never hurt you and does love you,” he added.
So there she was, at 2 a.m., on my lawn, drunk, crying, and covered with grass, saying, “Winning is nothing because I lost everything.”
My girlfriend, Krystka, ran out and called her a “filthy, fat lush,” and they went at it verbally, but, for awhile, I really felt sorry for Claire. Eventually, I talked Krystka away, and helped Claire walk up the hill to her house.
“Why can’t we make it work, Reality?” she said. “We keep trying, and it never does.”
“I don’t know,” I told her, bringing her into her big, empty place and tucking her in bed — an act she’d always used to take comfort in after her oftentimes raucous nights. “It just never does.”
Walking back to my home in the cool night, I felt a bit of regret that I couldn’t stay with Claire and make sure she was going to be all right. It didn’t help that Krystka decided to sleep on the couch and pretended not to hear me when I got back.
How do you divorcees turn off that part of yourself that actually cares still about your former spouse?
If you are looking for a clean and Christian alternative to the hedonistic R&S prom, you should consider attending our party tonight at my church.
A lot of you have expressed a desire to meet my 8 year old daughter Mirela. The amazing thing is that most women on this board will actually learn something from HER!
Also, my beautiful weaker half Nermina will be there as well. She is in charge of making the goodies, and I think you will find her baking delicious. Every day she proves that a true European national is the best wife a man can have.
There are a few rules that we will ask you to abide by. First, only one alcholic beverage for all persons over 21. I would encourage those of you with kids to let them at least have one night with you where you are not intoxicated. It will do wonders for your relationships.
Also, if you are married we ask that you actually bring your spouse to our party. Although I’m sure swinging is very exciting to most of you, we will stick to the biblical definition of coupling.
We will also have a fire hose on hand for those that decide to engage in over enthusiastic displays of affection. How about showing a little decorum, for just once in your life?
You have all been nothing other than altruistic and sweet natured towards my family, and we look forward to providing you some leadership and a night of fun.
Blessings,
Kermit
He signed up for a martial arts class, but after work, didn’t go because he fell asleep, then gets up and wants to use my car, to go to a party. I tell him “no” because he can’t even go to a class that I paid for but wants to go party, and all hell breaks loose because he thinks I’m wrong for not letting him use the car. He is 25 years old, and been 2 months clean from a heroin addiction. Am I the ‘bad guy’ for putting my foot down? My wife, he and I, had a terrible fight over this, as to where I kicked him out of the house (again) after things turned violent. I’m still reeling from the episode and wondering if fellow parents would have done things differently. Thank you for your answers.
Ok, I posted about this a couple days ago but I am going to state all the truth from what I know..My wife and I were suppose to go to a tavern halloween party just a couple blocks from our home,I got sic the nite before and did not attend,she asked me if she could go with her brother who is staying with us for now,I told her go have fun and be careful,all was good until her son came over to watch tv with me that nite and told me he seen a biker halloween guest and a other women dressed up like a pirate (thats what she was)in the parking lot of the tavern kissing,I did not think to much about it at first but later I did, they both came home together around closing time they were there roughly 5 hrs.she was not heavily intoxicated and seemed happy.she did win best costume.I was upset that she did not bring her cellphone with her so if anything went wrong I could pick them up etc. We did talk about the couple in the parking lot me and her son,she said she did not go outside and said WHAT! you dont trust me! to be expected I know,but she did not talk about the party much at all either the nite she came home,or the next day. I feel there is things not mentioned that occurred by her or her brother. we have been married 7 yrs, I know i got insecurity issues but something here dont feel 100% ok. I guess will see how the next few days go.
Our friends are having their annual holiday party. My wife and I have know the couple for about 3 years now. One of my best friends (whom my wife dislikes) has been invited to the party, also. My wife thinks I should either ask the couple to uninvite my best friend or that I should ask him not to go to the party. I have told her it is not my place to tell someone who they can and cannot invite to a party. Nor, is it my place to tell my friend what he can and cannot do.
My best friend is someone with whom I play ball with every week or two and we will go out to the bars every now-and-then for a few drinks. On a couple of occassions I have gotten too drunk to drive home and my wife has gotten very upset with me. She blames not only me, but my friend for my getting too drunk. This has happened a couple of time in the past 8 months.
we don’t want to tell anyone for the first 2-3 months that we’re pregnant, but we have several holiday and dinner parties to attend. not that my wife drinks to excess, but it will be noticeable if she spends 3 hours at a party and doesn’t touch a glass of wine. “I’m sick” won’t work – everyone knows that excuse already and will see right through it.
again, to repeat, “i’m sick” won’t work. That includes ear infections, antibiotics, etc. We will have friends at these parties who know we both enjoy wine. And some of these parties are at our house, where the designated driver excuse won’t work. I like the “low carb” diet answer so far – more answers along those lines are helpful. Insights into society’s position on drinking and why people ask their friends why they’re not drinking are not so helpful…
