Like I say, ten years ago I'd have done the same in your place. Being in California, believe me -- I've been in your place plenty. Like voting for Meg Whitman because Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown would be a "total disaster." In retrospect, I am glad Whitman lost. Better to have a Democrat I rejected doing the damage that Democrats are expected to do, than to have a Republican I elected doing the same essential damage in my and the Republican party's name. The RINO empowers the left in a way that Democrats simply cannot match.

Truly, it is very much like giving in to the temptation, out of sheer desperation, to drink salt water when adrift at sea for lack of fresh water. The consequences are more certainly fatal than if one took the chance to wait for fresh water in rainfall. But in desperation, water looks like water when in fact, one is poison an the other is water.

When the RINOs I voted for who won then did the damage they do, it was with my ENDORSEMENT that they did it. For years I had been a total hypocrite complaining about getting the very thing I voted for.

So now I only vote for what I want to WIN. If I and millions of others had only started doing so 20 years ago, liberalism would be weaker in both parties. My votes all those years, although I intended them to weaken leftism, only empowered it and that I didn't want to see the obvious, is my responsibility.
