RE: They lay down with a communist and just realized it?
Yep, much like many conservatives in 2012, preferred an Obama presidency to a RINO one and so, stayed home.
I did go out and vote for Romney but I have my doubts that it would be much different if he had won. He strikes me as a big government guy. I do not think he would have been forceful enough to change much. He probably would have handled the Russians better than Obama. The only thing I think would certainly be different is we would have had a bunch more gun control after Sandy Hook with Romney as President.
