For those who think they make a point by staying home and throwing a temper tantrum rather than vote for the republican-lite, how has that worked for you the last 2 presidential elections?
Great, you made your point and as a result we now have obamacare, a middle east islamic caliphate created from the massive Iraq pull-out; an Iran that is about to receive 100 billion in terrorist dollars and nukes; and a military that’s one more consecutive democrat administration from falling into frightening disrepair.
But that’s ok right? Because at least we didn’t have to put up with wishy washy pseudo-conservatives like McCain or Romney. We showed them all right!
Oh well I’m sure our grandchildren will appreciate the stance we took in spite of the direction it set their futures in.
One interesting dynamic I’ve observed over the last few elections cycles is that liberals/Dems tend to look for one or two things they agree with a candidate about, and based on those they unite their support behind that candidate, and win the election. Conservatives/Republicans take the opposite approach: they find one or two things they dislike about a candidate, and use that to swear everlasting, unalterable opposition and hatred for that candidate, so they end up fragmented and dis-unified, and lose the election.
