Indeed. Fine post, Bellflower!
Finny, to what you wrote I’d only add that some people were not just stone-cold ignorant about the Romney record but belligerently so. Willfully so. I can understand the ABO mindset but the groupthink to which so many mainstream Republicans surrendered regarding Romney’s ‘conservatism’ was disheartening. Vote for the man if you must but at least be aware of what you’re getting.
I think the vote fraud issue will once again put the much-maligned base against our ‘betters’ in the GOP-E. All those people who said they would ‘hold Romney’s feet to the fire’ if he were elected President can transfer their ardor to this issue. If we lose elections, then we lose them, but let’s at least do all we can to make sure the elections are fair.
Amen Brother FReeper!!!
