I surely do not. My preference for Republican candidates, yea, even those I have to hold my nose to vote for, stems from my preference for "republican" vs. "democratic" ideas, and my preference for free market vs. command economy policies, and my preference for freedom *of* religion over *from* religion. I have been thoroughly disabused of any notion that "my guys" are somehow righteous when it comes to politicking. I merely note that the Obama-ites project this idealized image of him as above the fray, and now that it is apparently my turn to be on the side of the snickering losers of an election, it gives me no small delight in pointing out the hypocrisy of those who bashed Bush et al. for much the same thing. It's as much about the follows of candidates being hypocrites as the candidates themselves. "The two parties are ever engaged in a great struggle to prove the other party unfit to rule.
