I voted to weaken whichever statist candidate won -- I voted third party for the express purpose of reducing the winner's popular mandate.
And as for your assertion that Romney was "a lot less statist than Obama," I challenge you to back that up with data. Show me exactly where Romney has acted (not spoken with empty promises, but his RECORD) in a less statist way. I DID MY DUE DILIGENCE on Romney and know that he is every bit as much a statist as Obama.
YOU VOTED FOR MORE LIBERALISM AND MORE GOVERNMENT TYRANNY. Period. A hard cold fact no matter how you rationalize that it was the mathematical fallacy of voting "against" Obama. I am grateful to God that your candidate Romney lost. And if you tell me "he wasn't my candidate," there again, you are kidding yourself: If you voted for him and if you encouraged others to vote for him, then Romney was your candidate.
You were manipulated by fear and panic and hysteria to vote against your own and America's moral and fiscal interests. Fear and self-deceit got you to ask for the Republican party and America to be headed by a stone-cold statist government tyrant who was pro state-run health care, pro global warming, pro abortion, pro forcing homosexual acceptance on people and businesses and youth groups and schools, and pro activist judges. YOU CAN LOOK IT UP. I did, and that is why I voted third party and it's why I am thankful to God that Romney lost.
You are on an libertarian emotional overload. Being a true believer you are too blinded to see that Obama is an ultra statist (lame and hackneyed usage by the way) just going by 0-Care which is a Federal power grab to take over 1/6th of the economy. Romney would have found ways to delay 0-Care and greatly modify it until it could be dumped, all or most of it.
Seen any false flag operations recently? (another overused lame expression coming from libertarians and Paulites)
