Please ... What "emotion based strategy" are you referring to? Please be specific, don't just tell me it's emotional, show me HOW it is emotional, even to identifying the SPECFIC things that make it "emotional" instead of "strategic." You see, here I'd been thinking that I was rising above emotion and looking at reality and strategy, gauging the mood of Americans by what they say and write, not by what the MSM says "America" thinks, thinking of the smartest ways to use our conservative votes to push things to the right by denying liberal Republicans our votes and thereby denying them access to power -- and here you come along and pop my bubble by informing me that it is "emotional" and "childish."
Also, if you will be so kind, please be specific in what instances I exhibited childishness. Since I don't see them, your pointing them out to me may help me improve myself.
One other thing. How is it not "emotional" to vote for a candidate who is ON RECORD (this is not an emotional nor a childish claim, but a conclusion based on things Romney has said and done, YOU can look them up, I already have) supporting gay adoption (which really means prohibiting adoption agencies from telling prospective gay parents "Go somewhere else if you want to adopt a kid") and for ending DADT in the military, and the entire concept of government overseeing health care and health insurance, and also in favor of activist environmental agendas, and for what you must admit -- non emotionally of course -- that only an amoral man would state, as Romney is on audio saying, that he believes that if a minor girl gets pregnant and her parents refuse her permission to get an abortion, that that minor teenager has the right to go to a judge and have that judge overrule her parents, yes, I'm afraid Romney is on record saying that, I heard the sound clip many times) --
-- presumably (since as you state Romney wasn't your "choice") things you as a conservative stand against in principle as well as in deed, which is my the State vs Federal with regard to government-run health care is wholly irrelevant) ... wasn't it an entirely EMOTIONAL thing, then, to vote for him?
That emotion being FEAR?
RINGA DING DING!
We have a Winner!
If you get a choice between a Leftist and a Leftist lite. The Leftists are going to go for the real thing and the Conservatives aren't going to drink at all.
Not that it matters to the Uniparty. They get their candidate either way.
Great post.
