EAch party now has major flaws that I really have problems with. This might not make sense to some, but I voted Democrat because I think the Republican party has a much better chance of becoming a party I can support. It needed a kick in the pants to start, and I wanted this to be it.Albert Einstien wrote:Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results
If your stated reason is to help make the Republican party wake up and smell the coffee, why didn't you just vote 3rd party? I assume that your dissatisfaction with the Republican party is that it is not conservative enough any longer? (If not, please correct me.) But if that IS the reason, then have you considered that by voting Democrat for the presidency that you've also helped to reinforce Obama's claim that he has a mandate to regulate gun ownership in any number of ways that, as a CHL holder, you're not going to like? If you had voted either Republican or Libertarian, you would have helped to counter that claim.
I mean no disrespect. I'm just curious if that particular aspect had crossed your radar when you were deciding which way to vote.
