Thanks for clarifying that. We don't post much to each other usually, but I've seen a lot of your posts, and I would have been really surprised if you would have voted for Obama just to spite a Romney nominee. That was not "jiving", lol!
I'm not sure if this is what you feel, but if the Republican party somehow set it up for a Romney win, I would like to see the party... would the word be "punished" for such big-party aggression. I'm not sure how to do that without inadvertently getting Obama again which none of us want, but it would also seem that it needs to be quite clear that we will not settle for two parties that are too close alike. Well, I guess even the worst of the Pubs are probably not AS bad as Obama, but taking all individuals on both sides into account, there needs to be a distinct difference or we are stuck with the same either way. If we have the same on both sides, then the question would be "what's the difference then?", and that shouldn't have to be the case.
I have noticed one way people have taken away a lot of the elitist GOP influence is to donate to individual candidates across the country instead of just donating to Republican general funds. I think that is a great way to rebel! I believe Allen West just recently received a HUGE boatload of campaign money already, and I mean a huge, huge, HUGE boatload. I got rid of the email, but I am thinking he already has 3, 4, maybe 5 times as much as the most likely elitist-Republican opponent he could be up against the next time.
So far, I think the steps conservatives have taken towards fiscally supporting individual CANDIDATES instead of the GOP itself has had fantastic results and has gone a long way towards getting good conservatives in office while keeping lame liberal Pubs on the back burner.
Well anyway, glad you clarified that. As I said, the idea you would vote for Obama did seem a little weird! LOL
