You are entitled to your opinion. So am I.

It's not an opinion that there's no such thing as voting "against." It is FACT.

It's not an opinion that "lesser of two evils" is a form of moral relativism. It is a FACT.

I'm not disagreeing with your opinion unless your opinion is that you want the Republican party to advance the scope of government.

Is it your opinion that the Republican party should go the way of Romney? If so, then we have different opinion.

But there are only facts when it comes down to the truth and consequences of voting for evils, lesser or greater.

You deceive yourself when you try to pass facts off as opinions.

... You are entitled to your opinion. So am I is a brazen cop-out.

Why are we both in the Republican party? I can tell you why I've voted straight Republican for more than three decades -- in general, because I figure Republicans will act to reduce the size and scope of government.

Why are you in the Republican party? If you are in the Republican party because you trust them to do a better job with the same growth in government, then one of us is in the wrong party.

If you are like me and you essentially count on the Republican party to be a force for reducing the scope of government, then it is not opinion, but straight FACT that you -- we -- have been voting for candidates who act to grow government. That's a fact -- you may be entitled to your opinion, but facts is facts.
