Wrong, Cooper. You intended to vote against Obama. In action, you did only ONE THING -- you voted FOR Romney.
As long as you confuse intent with action, you will be chasing unicorns with your vote and you will be manipulated by leftists cashing in on your well-intentioned wishful thinking.
It took me almost THIRTY YEARS of voting "against" Democrats by voting straight Republican ticket, to figure it out. Voting "against" is a comforting emotional illusion.
For the love of God, STOP thinking in terms of voting "against." START thinking in terms of voting FOR. When I see two leftists such as Romney and Obama vying for the presidential office, I will vote FOR weakening the popular mandate of whichever leftist bastard wins, and that is exactly what my third-party vote did.
YOUR vote "against" Obama strengthened the mandate to increase leftism in the Republican party, and had Romney won, it would have strengthened his popular mandate.
The ONLY thing that counts is what you vote FOR.
Your 3rd party vote returned the Kenyan Messiah to the White House. Nice.
