Wow man, you've really gone on a long journey.

If I had to pick one or the other it'd be Mitt but I voted for neither and I doubt that would change for Mitt and Hill.

I'm impressed that you are willing to say you would support Romney if you could do it over. You seemed to have the fervor of a true beliver at one time, the adore had certainly paled the 2nd time around but to come full circle certainly shows you are willing to examine your tightly held beliefs.

-Well, to be fair I said that I wish I had voted for him. The word "support" implies that I would have campaigned for, donated to or otherwise done more than casting my ballot in his direction.

You're right though, in 2008 I had drank the Koolaid. In fact, that's right around the time I started becoming pals with mk and initially we were both fans of Jon Edwards because of what seemed an earnest desire to help the impoverished and to close the income gap. But, his campaign didn't bear fruit, though it turns out his videographer did. Anyways, once he was out, I began to buy in to the whole "change" thing and genuinely thought Obama would usher in a new era in politics. I was a fool.

Edit:

-I really have. It's been a formative 6+ years for me.

Yo! Did you take down your Obama song?

This post took me back to the Hubski old days and it looks that gem is gone.

Ha, I may not be a fan of his, but I own my history and wouldn't take it down. I'll find it. BRB.

Edit: I believe, this tune penned by a brain-washed me is what you're looking for: https://hubski.com/pub?id=3162

Song won't load, I found the post already, figured you might have took it down.

Nope, I just listened to it here, on Hubski via that post. Odd.
