Geez, you’re spiting on me. Calm down.

Not spiting - just arguing that there is a difference that actuall makes a difference.

For instance - many wouldn't vote for Romeny over Obama for his comment about thinking homosexuals should be allowed in the Boy Scouts or the fact that his Romney Care in Massachusetts was used as a framework for Obama Care. They missed or ignored, that unlike Obama who is a rabid homosexual supporter who uses executive orders and other forceful methods to promote homosexuality, Romney also stated that while he had his opinion, he didn't think the government should dictate - the Boy Scouts, or any other organization, should be able to make its own choices.

Same with Obama Care - Romney stated that it was legal for a State to implement something like Romney Care, but it was illegal and unconstitutional to have the Federal Government implement Obama Care.

While it would be super to have someone who agreed with me on moral value issues, I prefer someone who has opinions that go against mine, but who will not force those opinions on me illegally vs. someone like Obama who has no compunctions about breaking the law to do so. Same with abortion - there is a difference with having the bad opinion that it should be legal for certain cases and a person who worships at the abattoir of baby blood and who fights to insure that abortion is easy, paid for by even those who bitterly oppose it, and who actually ensures that even babies born alive can be legally killed, "because he doesn't think someone should be punished by an unwanted baby".

IOW, there's the misguided and the pure evil - many think it's their duty to withhold votes from the misguided even if it means putting pure evil into power.

I can understand and even agree with the sentiment, but cannot fathom how it makes sense to give an Obama a second term or even to open the door for someone who will follow in his footsteps. Voting for the lesser of two evils sucks, it still results in the lesser of two evils. If we fight our butts off and expend time/energy/money to push for our best candidates in the Primaries, then don't get that person, it makes no sense to me to allow the evil side to win. The Left takes every inch it can get and has done so for decades. They unite to elect even those they don't like because the person is not Left enough, but who is still a vote or two further Left than the alternative. Unless we follow suit and unite to elect those who are at least a few votes farther to the Right, we will continue to lose - even our victories are hollowed out by the obvious long-term trend to viler and more evil tyrants who increasingly flaunt the law because they know they have the edge and that we will not unite to stop them.
