"Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”

Just proves that even John Adams was wrong sometimes.

That principle extends to the safety of our American civilization, not to throwing your vote away in the face of monstrous evil.

Nice try: that JQA quote was spoken in a time when a Marxist take over was not imminent. Today, JQA would say something more like this:

You were convinced it was the right thing to do because deep down, you’re an arrogant narcissist who thinks a vote is “about you” - when a vote is no such thing. A vote is about stewarding the choices you are given, and Goode is not a real choice. Adults, and those who aren’t consumed with some kind of holier than thou bullshit navel gazing attitude, understand this.

Apparently, your combination of ignorance and arrogance led you to a perverted decision. Enjoy the purity of your own irrelevance.

Just so I understand: For this election, we must not compromise our principles by voting for Romney, we must instead compromise our principles by effectively supporting obama.
