Quote:So you see Romney as just as good as Obama?
I did not use the terms 'good' or 'competent' when describing either candidate,kindly do not put words in my mouth. It is not a matter of which one is better or worst;neither is acceptable.
Quote:'A pox on both your houses' sounds deep, but really is what a child would do - "I'm taking my ball home".
Yes,it certainly can be the response of a petulant child not getting his own way. It can also be the rational response of a pissed off adult.
Indeed,that is the original context of the misquote of Shakespeare ("a plague a both your houses" Romeo and Juliet,act 3,scene 1) :
Quote:This is a famous quote from Romeo and Juliet. As Mercutio dies, he utters this phrase three times, cursing the families whose rivalry led to his death. The phrase is commonly applied to criticize warring factions whose rivalry brings ruin to others.
In my opinion, a rational and appropriate response when faced with two useless politicians/political parties.
