That, and the unfortunate incident in Iowa in 1984 during the Mondale-Reagan foreign policy debate, when our candidate started saying things that made me flee into the kitchen and smash one of the hosts’ lovely crystal wine glasses into the sink before I regained my senses. Profuse apologies, offers of money (of which I had none), etc. etc. I learned my lesson: If you’re determined to vote for them, stop listening to what they say until after election day.

It’s an inevitable side-effect of lesser-evilism. Libs like tristero who aren’t happy until we’re actually joining him in active approval of Obama’s Russia-baiting and missile defense can bite me.
