It is generally the voters fault when a candidate loses, and not just in my eyes.

I agree, but your & mine agreement on "generalities" doesn't change the reality of what I said, which I'll repeat: "(Otherwise you can never blame an election loss on the actual losing candidate--it's always the voters fault in your eyes)"

And you conceded this by saying that it was generally--not always the voters' fault.

I have conceded nothing.
 
My contention here on this thread was that George Bush 1 lost his bid for reelection because of his "no new taxes" pledge.
 
That was in response to your post concerning that "voters are too easily herded like sheep."
 
Many "voters" were not sheep in 1992 and we ended up with Clinton.  I'm sorry about that, and I for one am not going to be a part of such an event again. I will not let my vote be compromised, even if the candidates are compromised. I will vote for the lesser of 2 evils. If McCain gets the Republican nod, then I will still vote, but not for him.
 
I have immunity anyhow. My neigbors are Kool-Aid drinkers, and so my vote never counts.
