I cannot imagine not respecting someone’s right to cast one’s vote, or to not cast one’s vote, the way they see fit. I have never been that arrogant. And no. I certainly did not expect you to reciprocate. I never thought that would happen. Nor does it bother me.
Moral equivalence. Voting for Obama is flat out treachery to the Republic. Communism, class warfare, race hatred are still affronts to human rights. Period.
"Seeing fit" to vote for one guy or the other based on policy differences is one thing, voting for someone who is hostile to the existence of the country that soldiers have died for is immoral. Certainly not "respectable."
Keep an open mind, sure, but for God's sake don't let your brain fall out.
