“Who did you vote for in 2012? ”
I think I left it blank. I know I didn’t vote Romney. And I confess: I wanted Obama to win. I wanted the GOP to be freed from the death grip of the foreign policy interventionists represented by Romney and McCain. For that freedom to happen, the GOP would have to lose - we couldn’t afford to have Romney as president, entrenching the interventionist faction in power. And things worked as I foresaw: Romney lost and it created an opening for a different kind of Republican - a Republican who said out loud that the Bush-Cheney invasion of Iraq was STUPID and the GOP must stop supporting these regime change wars.
Thanks to Obama, war is guaranteed for decades to come.
