wow...then why did the mittbots do it ???
i dont have the time nor inclination to re-post all the bs that was thrown around here...suffice it to say that my position and simple truth stayed the course, and the fear that gave us mittens, and by extension, bambam part II, was carried in the same water bucket that you toted...
I had no ilusions to be surprised about, bambam was a done deal the day the last man standing wore magic undies...
CC has completely screwed himself on this thread all because he was looking for a frustration punching bag and he picked the wrong one.
He says he always knew Romney would lose
He says he carried Mittswater anyway
He says those of us (me) who refused to join him in Mitt Koolaid forced him to do it (support Mittons) because we daily attacked those (unlike him) who didnt sell out.
So his point is I attacked myself and that scared him into supporting Mitt. Is this not the most idiotic point you have read here yet?
How the hell was I going to attack other freepers who were critical of mItt when my tagline was “Romney is still a liberal, just watch him’??
See what being a jerk gets you?
Back in the waning days of winter and early spring when common sense prevailed for me, I did think Romney would have a very difficult time confronting Obama as a Conservative. I didn’t see him as one. Particularly on the issue of Obamacare, I thought he was neutered.
I do believe our party picked the wrong nominee. I also believed that the RNC preferred it.
Once that is done, there are two choices, well three actually. You can take a pass on voting. You can vote for him. You can vote for a third party. (I’m just ignoring the idea we could vote for the Democrat here. Not an option.)
I will tell you that I found it very difficult not to vote against a guy like Obama, by giving in and voting for Romney. I did so.
You’ll never hear me giving someone grief for having not voted. I think that WAS the moral thing to do. I know I had to bend mine to back Romney, and to a certain degree, that IS immoral.
By this time, we all know what each other was advocating for over the last six months. We know inside what we wound up doing. Now we live with that.
To those who didn’t vote for Romney or Obama, I salute you. I am sorry it came down to that. It never should have.
In 2016 I hope we are not presented with this situation again. If we are, it will probably turn out the same way. If it doesn’t, it will be just as ugly.
We are members of a political party whose leadership keeps getting it’s way, and whose membership is melting away faster than a surprise 2” snow in early July.
