I guess it's intelligent and patriotic to vote for whoever the GOP places on the ballet and to call anyone who votes for a candidate they deem better "stupid"?
At any rate Romney did not lose even a single state because of Goode, not even Virgina; he simply lost. Obama had almost 3 million more popular votes than Romney.
As for God, my country and my family, I don't consider you their spokesperson. While I share your disappointment in the election and reelection of B.O., I'm also disappointed in you and other fellow FReepers who refuse to respect my freedom and right to vote for a non GOP candidate. Is this "Free Republic" or "Pro Republican"?
You initiated the idea of ‘God’s spokesman’ when you determined what voting technique would impress Him, so at least pretend to be consistent. And until people take a gun to your head to bar you from/force you to vote, then nobody is disrespecting your “right to vote.” It’s your choices that are being disrespected, which is reasonable, because they are asinine.
