Simple math: 20 people vote: 9 Democrats vote for Obama; 8 Republicans vote for Mr. X; 3 Republicans decide they can’t vote for Mr. X and don’t vote. Result, Obama wins 9-8, and 3 Republicans are smugly proud of throwing the election to Obama “on principle.”
Why they can’t grasp this is something I don’t understand.
Perhaps in 2008 it could’ve been attributed to ignorance. Nobody really knew Obama would be this bad, did they? OK, maybe some of us speculated, but we can’t know the future.
Here, three unimaginably bad years later, I cannot believe people are still saying this crap. They’ll be proud to “stand on principle,” but what they’re doing is guarding their homesteads in what is likely to be a proverbial post-apocalyptic wasteland that was once America.
Exactly!!! Good post!
