There is, but i dont and cant tell people what people what to do via and internet forum, so that is irrelvent. In the case you refer to, I suggest that a voter should vote third party when in his post he said that he already said he might not vote at all, and all of a sudden im a Tyrant? fact is, if I had suggest to him he stick with voting Rebublican - you would not have complained.
Your concern over me 'sticking my nose in' is rather selective dont you think?

And yet the thoughts and opinions of the British Media do not nessicarily represent my own.
Maybe take a look at the thread concerning Romney's 'gaffe' and read what i said - not other British forum members but ME.

The British media got upset, and so did some British people, personally I agree with you, Romneys remark was that he was concerned we weren't ready - not exactly offensive in itself but there is more.
Over here, people were moaning about the olympics all year ,we were predicting travel chaos in London, complaining about the cost of the olympics while we are in recession, the olympic lanes effecting traffic, then there was the security scandal and on and on.
Then suddenly everyone sees the opening ceromony its all union jacks, tears of national pride and unicorns crapping rainbows - Ok fine nothing wrong with that.
But then everyone wants to lynch Romney when he was only saying the SAME THING that many Brits & our media have been saying for ages? That was just total hypocracy if you ask me.

Of course he doesn't have to do what you told him but you did not phrase it as a suggestion. You do that all the time especially when it comes to that nut Ron Paul. As for voting Republican you have no right to tell him to vote that way either. Satisfied?

Not at all. Your strawman is your own.
