THIS "purist" voted. THIS "purist" voted FOR weakening whichever amoral leftist government tyrant, Romney OR Obama, ended up in the White House. This "purist" has finally figured out that voting "against" guarantees EXACTLY the same elusive outcome as hunting unicorns.
BOTH Romney and Obama were 100 percent ON BOARD, Gen. Blather, with a) forcing all businesses, individuals, organizations, employers, schools, civic clubs, adoption agencies, etc. to accommodate open homosexuals or else; b) government-run micro-managed control of health and medical care; c) on-demand "affordable" (tax payer subsidized) abortion; d) heavy and onerous government control of food and energy production and consumption in the name of "saving the planet" global warming.
General Blather, when you voted for Romney, you were voting FOR the Republican Party to lead the way in promoting those things. That is what you were voting FOR.
"Purist," my foot. COMMON SENSE. Try it some time.
Romney also signed anti- 2nd amendment laws when he was Governor.
