It doesn't much matter. I'd decline to vote. But in California, it will go for Obama no matter what. So my protest vote can be a vote of conscience and not in any way be a vote for whomever the Republican candidate is.
He's not been a total failure as a president. He and the Congress have actually had a lot of successes and accomplishments, which they are beyond lame at communicating.
But he's an incredible disappointment to me as a progressive (even though he was always clearly a center/right moderate), and as a gay man he's been an affront to my very being, over and over and over and over. I could hardly loathe the man more if I were a teabagger.
Er, I mean a Tea Partier.
Silly me, I already
am a teabagger.
