What exactly is "out there" about not voting for socialists?
If you don't want socialism, then don't vote for socialists.
It's just that simple.
About your inability to see the forest for the trees.
I'm not the one making excuses for casting votes for socialism.
You are.
Twist it some more and hope logic wrings out.
You willfully and knowingly denied a needed vote that would have helped keep Demo-Cthulhu out of office. Your prideful interpretation of ‘conservatism’ helped elect him. Fact. Deal with it. Go to a 12 step program if needed, but it changes nothing. Your vote did in fact help elect Obama and there is nothing that will ever change that FACT.
