“My two votes for Dubya are among my biggest regrets”, At the time did you have ANY other choice.
Dubya vs Gore or Kerry wasn't a choice. There's no difference between them.
The only real choices were to vote for (1) Dubya/Gore/Kerry (take your pick), (2) a 3rd party candidate or (3) not vote.
By the spring of 2012 as it became obvious the GOP was going to shove rino Romney down our throats, I had figured out that there was no real choice in a Presidential election between the Rats and the GOP. However, in a post on FR, I postulated that the GOP might be better at picking Supreme Court Justices. But, I went on to say that how the Supreme Court ruled on Obamacare in June, 2012, would tell the tale. Well, we know how that ruling turned out.
Like I said, there's not a dimes worth of difference between rats and rinos.
