People who see what Barry has done, who know that they have no influence at all over any democrat, who know that if the President is Republican there is at least a high probability that he would nominate better judges, that he would want to work with Republicans, and that he at least said he's changed his stance on abortion, can't say that staying home was a more moral and principled thing to do than voting to rid us of Barry. No way.
I know, but I could say it even a different way -- a hypothetical to make the same point:
Say Mitt got enough votes to win;
say Obama was still interested in a 2nd term, but had a "revelation" -- tweeked a few policies -- & presto, became GoP in 2019...
...& ran again for POTUS...
...GoP conservative candidates (AGAIN) split the conservative vote...
...& due to his minority status, let's say Obama became the GoP primary winner in 2020...
You would have had then -- in this hypothetical -- the very irony of FREEPERs telling us to vote for Obama...Why? (Because the Dem candidate is ALWAYS worse!)
I guarantee you, Rashputin: You can always find a POTUS candidate more "conservative" than the Dem guy running!
But if that's the ONLY standard we have, why bother to be GoP? I mean, as fieldmarshaldj uttered on a previous thread, darn us conservatives for wanting a conservative candidate and conservative policies...
(Imagine such "pickiness")
