Right there with you -- in that I'll be happy to deny Willard my vote. Like I did in 2012 and stand by it now. I refuse to agree to be accountable for what would happen if Romney won.

It only took me 30 years, but I figured out why my voting against leftists for the past three decades has gotten me a Republican party so far left it's a joke.

You have to restrict yourself to voting FOR. Voting against means that your best-case scenario, winning, is desperate avoidance of the worst case scenario of a frightening Democrat. We've had a long parade, each one "the worst ever! The end of America!"

You only get to vote for. If you win, you will be accountable. It is the only way to view any vote, ever.

If 2016 is like 2012 in the presidential contest, by voting "third party" I will vote FOR a plurality (as opposed to a majority mandate) for the next Republican or Democrat liberal occupant of the White House at worst, and at best, a person who if he/she wins, will make things BETTER.

I've been doing it the other way -- voting "against" -- long enough to have finally figured it out. Einstein was right.
