Politico, I don't understand you. I really don't. You say that you dislike Obama and everything he does so much, yet you still say you are a Democrat (though I don't know why, because you sound like a partisan conservative to me). And correct me if I'm wrong, but you were a Hillary supporter before, right? You realize that on the issues, they agreed basically on everything? The most difference I've heard from you regarding them is things like how she had more "balls" and other things of that sort, which is a pretty weak argument. Honestly, I think she'd have governed almost identically to Obama.
Also, you supported Romney, who based on his record in Massachusetts, was very moderate. As Governor he would've lined up with many of Obama's positions as well, from things regarding healthcare to climate change to stimulus spending. And assuming you were a supporter of his record, then as President, he wouldn't have been too radically different from the way Obama has governed over the last few years. Maybe he would've been more effective as a President than Obama at running things, which I agree, but that is not the angle you seem to be coming from.
If you bought into the platform he supported this election, running as someone who was "severely conservative"(neoconservative foreign policy, very conservative economic policy, conservative social policy), fair enough. But I still don't see how someone who claims to still be a Democrat that supported Hillary Clinton could back the Republican message of 2012.
Its not the end of America and freedom. By acting like the sky is falling is just making the GOP look bad, and the last thing we need to do is start freaking out about socialism and communism with an Obama reelection. The Cold War is over.
