If I'm a tool for sticking to my core values and beliefs rather than treating elections like beauty contests, then so be it. When I look in the mirror each morning I never have to turn away in shame. My core values don't change from day to day or shift to please a certain demographic group.
I never said you were a dupe for voting for Mitt -at least you got to vote. As is the case almost every election cycle, my state's primary is scheduled so late that the nomination is locked up before I get to vote. By the time the primary hits this time, I get to choose between McCain, Huck or Write-in - woohoo!
By the way, when you posted your blanket slam of FReepers as a group did you expect all your fellow FReepers to say thank you, sir, may I have some more?
I've been through worse times - the Carter years - and I'm optimistic that from the ashes of a McCain/Obama/Clinton presidency another Reagan will emerge.
I suggest you down a few of your favorite adult beverages tonight, reflect on your original post tomorrow and see if maybe there could have been a better way to make it clear how disssapointed you are that Mitt's out.
