re: #415 reine.de.tout

OR, it could be that no one candidate will reflect every single one of my positions, and so I vote for the best possible one in my opinion (or in the case of the recent election, the one whose dishonesty affected his family not his constituents, rather than the one whose dishonesty affected his constituents but not his family).
Sometimes it’s just not much of a choice. And yes, I will feel free to distance myself from positions I do not like, regardless of who I voted for.

It’s OK to do.

You are correct, of course. Total agreement is never going to happen. I guess what makes me most crazy is the number of conservatives who say that their overriding concerns are the deficit/big spending while saying they are socially liberal and environmentally concerned and still vote Republican. It seems to me a total disconnect from reality.
