I can't violate my principles because Sarah didn't run, so I'm not casting a vote against her. And I do think that sometimes a vote can be against someone, and not necessarily one I'd promote on its own (like Romney).
Both Obama and Romney may be liberals, but Obama is far MORE liberal. And Obama HATES the United States, Her founding fathers, and the white middle class. I really, truly believe that. I don't think Romney does, as Romney's in it for Romney. That is the KEY difference.
But hell, no one listens to what we're saying; their minds are made up. And that is all well and good, but do NOT (and I'm not saying you are Rational Thought, but others have) call me a Romneybot, a traitor, an unpatriotic American. That has been the stab in the back from other FReepers that gets me so riled up. That it comes from the highest echelons here really hurts.
Again, we are wrong in their eyes. Fine. But we are NOT traitors and Romneybots. And to those who would vote for Romney over Obama, those who refuse and have drawn a line in the sand are not lunatics, extremists or Obama-lovers.
Did I mention both choices suck? Still, why go after fellow FReepers with hatred and venom because of this? The whole thing sounds like Trosky versus Stalin and the purges after wards. The propensity to make other people's thoughts demonic is what bothers me most.
