If you voted for Mitt, the odds are that Cruz will never reach his level of liberalism. Thus my statement holds true.
I don’t see how having helped give the GOP permission to be liberal is being washed away by your conscience so easily with time. It should be grating on you because it’s the same lesser evils giving Barry all his power.
Did you vote for Obama? Did you vote 3rd Party? Did you abstain from voting for POTUS because Mitt wasn't good enough? Best case scenario your vote didn't matter - worst case you helped deliver the USA over to Obama.
Mitt was far from my first choice, but I am sure he would not have governed as a racist, American hating, gay communist Islmaic sympathizer trying to "fundamentally transform" America.
Given that I am sure I own no apology to the Conservative movement, or my conscience, or anyone for my general election vote for Mitt. At the time I thought it was the right thing to do, in retrospect it was clearly the right thing to do.
