It was not my choice, but we were faced with either Romney or Obama. Not doing everything possible to keep Obama out was foolish.

You gave several preposterous straw man arguments. I will give you one that is more appropriate. If you are having a heart attack and have just learned you also have to fight cancer, which do you fight first? I will fight the heart attack, which is immediately life threatening, and then I will fight the battle against cancer.

We have the same goal of battling the GOP-e. But allowing Obama a second term, after we saw what he was doing and knowing what he was planning, was national suicide. There is the right time and place to make a stand against the GOP-e. Timing is everything. It was not 2012. Obama was not just some Democrat. He was a person deliberately destroying the country. Jackasses let it happen.

Love the Tag Line. Hope you arent gonna charge me for living in your head Doug.

On another thread yesterday you said you’d fight him once in there or some such drivel. What did you plan on Douing Doug? What were you going to do when Mitt and uberconservative Paul Ryan went as left as obama on day 1, just as Ryan has since done as Speaker the second he got power?

NOTHING Doug. You would have done NOTHING and then WE would all have had it on our necks.

Romney did not wait 24 hours to repent of his severe campaign conservatism. He has since campaigned, fundraised and continues to go out of his way to ensure conservatives arent elected. And you STILL defend the aborted baby BBQ chef. People with sense have since admitted Romney was a mistake. You won’t. Says all anyone needs to know.

Oh and BTW, try not to selectively edit any more of my posts when trying to get your vengeance.

That's it? File the scenarios under 'strawman arguments' and move on? The point was that most of the time in real life we never accept the terms of a lesser evil no-win scenario. Doesn't the highest office in the land deserve the same consideration? Well I do. But I admit it took a long time to get it hammered into my own thick skull.

Nice try with the heart attack though. Unfortunately you immediately contradicted your alleged plan to get the GOPe illness later: "and then I will fight the battle against cancer" by virtue of the fact that your only immediate choice is to vote for the GOPe today, throwing them their expected lifeline, and had Romney won, the cancer is metastasized beyond treatment. Face it, there is no plan to crush the GOPe under any Lesser-of-two-evil scenario because they rig the scenario that way.

Look, believe whatever you want, I'm just amazed that this kind of talk continues today, AFTER two more, subsequent events ..

Those two things happened since Romney 2012, and while they do not change the past, they re-affirm the bullseye correct instinct of those that bailed out in 2012. Those that you unfortunately call jackasses.

I'll bet you still blame Perot for Clinton, right? Well I voted for Bush41 right alongside you ... however ... this has become a retroactive IQ Test. I was wrong then. I would however pass the test today. You?
