“It is people like you abstain”
I didn’t abstain.
I just didn’t vote for the liberal with the R after his name.
Nor did I vote for Obama.
But I voted.
It’s not a binary choice you know.
And as for the “not pure enough” mantra:
Romney isn’t just “not pure conservative enough” There is nothing conservative about the man. And yet you voted for him.
Again, it is YOU who keeps encouraging the Republican party puppet masters to keep running these useless, unelectable idiots because they listen to YOU and your type when they say “I will vote for whoever the republicans run even if I don’t like it”.
Guess what, you and those like you are on the Republican plantation just like blacks are on the Democrat plantation.
Open YOUR eyes. And grow a spine and quit letting the big bad Democrat liberal scare you into voting for the Republican liberal.
It isn’t like Mitt has started supporting an increase in the minimum wage or something liberal like that.....
Here we are on a thread about spiking food prices and folks are claiming that if we just elected Romney that we wouldn’t be experiencing this...yet he just espoused support for a policy that will actually drive prices higher.
I did vote for Mitt, but only because it was the last chance to kill Obamacare. Now, there is no future reason for me to pull the lever for R progressives.
Thanks for your well thought out reply.
Just so you know, I fought hard against Romney during primaries mainly because I know this guy has no backbone.
But in general, I voted against Obama because I am from
Chicago and know exactly what makes Obama tick. I knew
him like the back of my hand before he appeared on the
national scene. I was actively involved in politics in
Chicago area for 30+ years.
