Did it? I held my nose and voted for both McCain and Romney. I’m guessing most people here did, as well.

Exactly my point - those who refuse to vote "the lesser of two evils" end up rolling out the red carpet for the greatest possible evil.

At this point taking down the GOP establishment in a blaze of flaming excrement is the greater long-term goal IMO.

Re: “Is there really a choice? That staying home crap got us Obama.”

Sorry, that's not correct.

Four million white voters “stayed home” in 2012, but they were not Conservatives.

Romney got 1.5 million more white votes in 2012 than McCain got in 2008.

Obama lost 5.5 million white votes in 2012 compared to 2008.

In fact, Romney was the first presidential candidate in American history to get 59% of the white vote - and lose!

Bottom Line - in 2012, non-white voters had their largest turn out ever, and 82% of them voted to re-elect Obama.
