I have voted the straight GOP ticket my whole life and never regretted it.

You know what they say about doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result, right?

OK. Let’s review my past votes for POTUS.

In 1984 I voted for RR over Mondale. No regrets.
In 1988 I voted for Bush over Dukakis. No regrets.
In 1992 I voted for Bush over Clinton. No regrets.
In 1996 I voted for Dole over Clinton. No regrets.
In 2000 I voted for GWB over Algore. No regrets.
In 2004 I Voted for GWB over Kerry. No regrets.
In 2008 I voted for McCain over BHO. No regrets.
In 2012 I voted for MR over BHO. No regrets.

Would you like me to repeat this same exercise for gubernatorial or US Senate candidates. I can do it if you like. I live in CA and you will soon see my point.

Nothing in life is perfect, least of all politics. You have to work with what you have and what is realistic.
