We lost the election. Our dear leader had a better ground game. They exploited what our side ignored: the benefits and opportunities of early voting of the lazy.
It was a blow out, so any claims of massive voter fraud is just noise to us. Further, we are offended that some suggest we need to lower our standards and values in order to encourage 'moderate' voters to come to our side. We've come to know moderates as liberals with some enlightened intellectual self-praising faux-open-mindedness. They should be defeated, not recruited.
And that is exactly what the libs did in the 2012 election.
They got out the vote and used the extra time of early voting wherever possible. They won. It sucks. We are angry. But we would wager that our fellow Republican, Lincoln, who held this country together in much tougher times, would tell the Romney team: "You should have played by the rules, pussies." We would agree with the great man.
I consider myself a libertarian, but I held my nose and voted for Romney; principles are fine, but sometimes you have to make do with what you have, which in this case meant someone who had a hope of being elected, unlike anyone in the Libertarian party.
ReplyDeleteJust my opinion.
Comrade Bob, thanks for holding your nose.
ReplyDeleteBy doing so you stepped up to the plate and participated in the decision at hand: bigger govt vs smaller govt. Can't ask anything more.
As for my opinion: those who insist on a third option (Libertarian or other) choose to NOT participate. I can't find an ounce of respect for them - and I've tried.
Thanks for stopping by!
