(45,251 posts)it hadn't been for the appointments, the drive to cut "entitlements," the gay issue (yes, that finally went the right way, but geez), the breaking of the promise about a public option, the secrecy, the raids on the pot shops in states where it was legal, the mocking of liberals, and the liberal hunting, the spying, etc. etc. etc. And really, just all the lying and hypocrisy.
I did not have a litmus test or a sine qua non; and I am not a one issue voter. I don't even smoke pot myself. (After Clinton, if I say I tried once, after I was 21, and I didn't like it, would you believe me, or would you just laugh? Thing is, I smoked for hours but never got high)
At some point, it just all got to be too much for me.
BTW, as far as spending time here, I think I may be coming around to your way of thinking.
