I’m not faulting either of you. You did what you thought was right. At least you were thinking.
If you want to blame someone, blame the guy who ran one of the worst campaigns I’ve seen a politician run.
I’m convinced Bush either thought he couldn’t lose due to the successful Desert Storm, or he didn’t actually care if he won or lost.
I was left scratching my head for months that year, as Bush seemed to play rope-a-dope and allow Clinton’s people to pummel him without so much as a burp in response, and he didn’t go after Clinton on the obvious.
I was faulting myself. Yes, I did what I thought was right, at the time, even knowing that I was voting for a kook. But, upon reflection, I concluded that I had served no useful purpose and, in fact, contributed to a calamity and would never vote third party again.
The supreme test weas McCain. I passed. Just barely.
In contrast, voting for Romney is easy.

He didn't care. He wasn't prepared to fight some good lookin’ southern boy and didn't care to be prepared. It's just a job to these guys.
I haven't seen a GOP sanctioned politician that has ever fought the good fight. Now, give me a minute while I try and make my point.
My opinion at this time is they are all in it for themselves, every dang one of them and the Country be damned. They'd rather loose than put forth the effort leadership takes. They are in it for the golfing, the vacations, the perks - just like any executive.
It's just a damn job to the fools we've had the last few years. Get in, get your money, get some TV time, travel the world, fool the electorate and enjoy laughing about their stupidity over imported beer with your “democratic enemies”.
You know what I think of McCain? He couldn't stand the fact that it was Palin who energized the base - so he threw in the towel. He had a titty baby fit.
And Dubya, do we so soon forget that he was the arse that pushed TARP through to be spent by an anti-american sociopath? So he had compassion during 911? I remember he waited over a friggin year and bowed to the UN instead of turning some muslim lands to glass. I will NEVER FORGET FALLUJA! Mister compassion can KMA.
None of our candidates care about this country. They care only for themselves - that includes Romney.
But I'll maintain some sliver of hope and vote for Romney - because that is my only choice at this time because I am truly sickened by Obama.
I expect Obama to win a second term for various reasons, including voter fraud, stupidity and the ever moral high ground of conscience.
But I know this as well. Every camel knows when that last straw is placed on its back. Best said by the immortal words of Yosemite Sam..
