Well. Your "requirements" are so general almost anyone can win your vote, so I have to assume you voted for Obama in 2008.

Does he honor the Constitution? Does he espouse financial responsibility and accountability?
No.

But it's funny you bring 2008 up; to my shame I voted for McCain — at the time, though, I promised myself it would be the last time I ever "voted against" somebody. And you know what? In 2012 that promise kept me from pulling the lever for Romney (who is Obama's political clone).

After all, he was all about following the law, being transparent and cutting our deficit in half. He came across as responsible, an expert on the constitution since he was a constitutional law professor (to this day, I get responses from two different folks, "Well, it must be OK since Obama taught the constitution.")

Hey, given that (and what I now know about McCain) voting Obama in 2008 doesn't sound like too bad a deal. Sure, people were suckered, but [in hindsight] it's better than McCain's projected image.

Try again.

You know, I don't have to.
You're the one saying that people are purists for not voting for the lesser of two evils (still an evil) — and then you dismiss my [reasonable] requirements as too general.

Silly response, but the I expected that. That is how Obama sold himself. One of constitutional government, transparency and fiscal responsibility. Therefore, if you take him at his word, Obama meets your criteria.

Hold your head in shame and I am serious about that. You owe all of us an apology for voting for Obama in 2012 and that is the effect of not voting for Romney.

Don't you ever complain about anything Obama has done since 2012 because you are a direct cause of that. Voting for Obama has consequences.

You are so high and mighty. You should wear a button that reads "I am pure, so please congratulate me."
