I worked hard for his election before he threw the race. I felt ( and still feel, although with many new regrets) that he was the lesser evil. The election choice in the prior contest ( McShame) was similarly awful.
1. If either of those men had won they would have worked to remove every nationalist at every level and replace them with open borders pro amnesty activists.
They weren't really viable anyway because the portion of the electorate who understood the effect wasn't going to vote for them. How many of those people are there? Enough to overwhelm the Democrat vote manufacturing machine in 2016 despite the Neocons leaving the party (many of whom now admit voting for Hillary)
3. One day we must all give an account for what we did in this life.
What we supported.
What we opposed.
We aren't accountable for who won.
4. Forcing the uniparty candidates to lose dismantled the viability of the mantra that the Republican Party had to compromise on this or that infiltrator that voted with the Democrats on critical issues. Making it impossible for those candidates to win eliminated the pretense that going left was more viable.
I voted for the Constitution Party candidate instead of McCain, and I voted a write in for Herman Cain instead of Romney.
