We have only been offered one that is less evil than the other one, but evil nevertheless.
This will almost assuredly be my last election and I refuse to vote for the lessor evil. It is time for a revolt against the New World Order that has deceived us for so many years.
I understand your frustration completely, but my post (using the rule of threes) was to explain the current situation to give some context to the dynamic on the conservative side that we see today.
I was curious because your tone seemed hostile to me and my post, specifically (I feel that way when someone tells me a post of mine is better suited to DU or Huffington Post) and I thought you might have misunderstood me.
I was in no way advocating for or against voting for Mitt Romney, or any other candidate, but explaining how I see the Conservative side of the electorate today.
I will come on later when I get home and re-post something I wrote sometime in the past two years, I don’t remember when, when Scott Brown threw his support behind homosexuals in the military. It was rash, hostile and so full of anger it was unlike me, or so I thought. I made some people angry on FR, and in retrospect, rightfully so.
(In summary, I was so angry that I vowed to vote for the most liberal candidate I could to speed up the dissolution of the country, in that it might be reconstituted correctly in my lifetime. Being in Massachusetts, I could find some very liberal candidates indeed. In any case, it was an extraordinarily pessimistic commentary, and some Freepers I respected highly condemned me. I was in a pretty hot mood.)
Point is, I have always voted from Massachusetts, and the post illustrated the anger and disillusionment I felt (and feel) as a voter, particularly from this part of the country.
Unlike many people who might have to hold their nose and vote for a candidate like McCain or Dole, they at least had the possibility of voting for someone like Allen West or any number of other candidates who might actually be good, viable conservatives.
I had never, ever, EVER had even that small luxury, only getting candidates like Kerry, Kennedy, Meehan, and so on.
Year after year, my vote was completely and totally worthless. I deluded myself into thinking Scott Brown was something he was not, because I was desperate to vote for ANYONE but Kerry and Kennedy. That was my fault, but I don’t fault myself too much after a electoral lifetime of being presented with those choices. Talk about a drowning man grabbing a straw.
