To: Emperor Palpatine

my candidate was not rejected. I had a range of acceptable candidates from Ron Paul to Perry to Bachman, to Gingrich, any of which I could vote for in the general.

Romney is unacceptable to me. Always has been. I’ve been saying this since like, ever.

So this is just chickens coming home to roost. The GOP decided they didn’t need my vote, that is all.

No whining here, just stating the facts.

Also, I live and vote in Ohio.

In a battleground state you shouldn’t do that.

Weren’t you ever taught to be a team player?

That was the problem with the primary. We say Romney was shoved down our throats, but we had half a dozen conservative alternatives to Romney who split the conservative vote. Each candidate selfishly and stubburnly stayed in the race, putting their egos ahead of the country. We needed a “tea party primary” of sorts to select someone to run against the establishment candidate. We blew it. We have no room to complain now.

The problem definitely begins with the GOP-e. There were plenty of Conservatives who were perfectly acceptable ~ but they let this guy with no real Republican credentials into the race.

One of the things that has to be done is purge the Republican party of non-Republican elements, starting with the GOP-e.

Oh, great - so don't get yourself all bent outta shape when you're told that a non-vote, or a vote for an insignificant "acceptable" candidate is truly a vote for Obama.

p.s. - "the GOP decided they didn't need my vote (snivel, snivel)" is not whiney???? LOLOL!
