i didn’t vote for this guy. A couple of months ago, many, many people here were guilt-tripping those of us who refused to support this guy. Are any of them still willing to defend their vote?
They weren't just guilt-tripping me; folks were calling for my head on a platter.
No, I should have stayed home.
I had many many a fight with fellow FReepers during the primaries. I refused to support mclame....until of course, he chose Sarah.
Nor did I. And, quite frankly, I still harbor some small resentment for being called, amongst other things (I'm not going to say inter alia) a SQUIRREL (which I had to look up) and much more.
McStupid lost because he is who he is.
I voted for him, but I did it the Ann Coulter way. (I don’t link well but the site was getdrunkandvoteformccain.com)

Much less so than before, but ask me again in a year.
I’m glad you stuck to your guns. I had not intended to vote for Sen. McBipartisan. I intended to vote for any conservative or independent running for president. Then McBipartisan picked Palin for running mate. So I voted the McBipartisan ticket, but I was really voting for Palin.
Tactically, it was a good move by the RINO as it got me—and others like me—to vote for him. Strategically, it will probably work against him and his fellow RINOs because Palin became a known conservative commodity.
It is my fervant hope that she will emerge as the conservative leader around which a new opposition party can be formed. IMO the RINOs will never hand over the GOP to conservatives. It has become simply an arm of the Demrat Party. In America today there is no longer an opposition party to the left.
