I made a grave mistake in voting for McCain and vowed "never again". Romney as the "R" candidate hardened my resolve, not only was he even more liberal than McCain, he is guilty of that part of your statement that I high lighted and under lined. I'll never regret not voting for Romney. I didn't vote for Obama either.
For those who hoot that not voting for Romney was the same as voting for Obama - Frankly, I don't give a damn.
