In diplomacy, war and politics friends of convenience are the norm. The US turned Stalin, a man who exceeded Hitler's body count, into Uncle Joe the ally in order to defeat Germany and Japan. During the Cold War we allied with all manner of dictators and undesirables to undermine the Soviet Union which became the great enemy. In order to keep Iran destabilized we overtly and then covertly support Saddam Hussein. The list goes on and on. Put simply, we ally with evil all the time for the greater good and I am not against having done any of that. I think the same applies very often in politics.
That's true, and I've done it myself. I remember voting for McCain in 2008, but really I was voting for Sarah. However, there's a limit, a line you just can't make yourself cross. For me, Romney is that line. I watched the 2002 video of that smarmy liar saying he would make it easy for minor girls to get a judge's permission for an abortion---behind their parents' backs. And then five years later he was saying he had "always" been pro-life.
I just don't think I could wash myself clean enough after voting for him.
“the great enemy.”
Obama may be the greatest enemy that we have faced. The enemy from within is what Nikita Krushchev said would bury us.
