So you are proud of the part you played in putting Obama in the WH?
Have you lost reality?
Had 100% of FREEPERs voted for Romney, guess what? (Romney would have lost ANYWAY -- by the exact same electoral votes -- that he lost)
I'd say well over half of FREEPERs live in red states -- states which gave their electoral votes to Willard.
Tell us, had 100% of red-state FREEPER voters NOT voted for Romney (voted 3rd party), would Romney have STILL won those states? (Yup: Obama would not have been helped one iota!)
In the pure blue states, had 100% of FREEPERS voted third party in those states or voted 100% for Romney, it wouldn't have impacted those states one bit either way: Obama (not Romney) would have won those states.
So now we get down the true "purple" states:
The 10 closest states in Election 2012
#1 6 of those 10 "closest states" -- CO, PA, IA, NH, NV, WI had margins ranging from 4.7 to 6.7% (not close, and can't even really be described as "purple" for 2012 POTUS election purposes).
#2 That left VA (3%), NC (2.2%), OH (1.9%), and FL (0.6%).
Since we're not talking about giving Obama votes here -- only subtracting Romney votes -- are you claiming that FREEPERs make up 3% of Virginia; 2.2% of NC; 1.9% of OH; and even 0.6% of FL?
I would say that the ONLY FReepers who had any decent "apologetic" for voting for Romney would be the Florida ones. Everybody else -- for certain -- wasted their vote!!!
And guess what? Even if Romney had taken Florida, he would have still lost!
So your comment is nonsensical from any practical consideration.
Instead, here's the impact of Romney votes by FREEPERS:
* By having voted for a proabortion pro homosexual socialized healthcare candidate who was more liberal than JFK, all a romney vote did from social conservatives was to embolden the RINOs to conclude: "See, we've got even the outspoken conservatives in our pocket. They will fold & vote RINO once we get past the primaries."
* Secondly, having seared your conscience by voting for somebody who favored child-slice&dicing, what's wrong with voting that way in the future? (Moral compromises done in public leads to further ones down the line; why stop proabort voting once knowingly having done so?)
* Thirdly, the accusation that Romney voters threw out on FR threads rebounds right back at 'em: They consistently told us, "If you vote third party, you are wasting your vote." My response? "And why is that wasting your vote?" "Because, they will be a loser." So...such thinking boomerangs back on them: IF you vote for one who will lose (& I knew Romney was a loser), you have indeed "wasted your vote" by sending the EXACT WRONG message to RINOs!
