You mean the John Kerry who said "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?"?

That John Kerry?

Don't recall ever hearing that end of it.

I guess to answer this we need to be talking about the actual election, in order to be comparing apples to apples, since you bring up Hillary.

that you would not again be able to bring yourself to vote for a person who voted for the IWR?

I would give neither a pass now. One can presume what they chose.

when he voted. I also feel that Hillary felt that as well. She talked often about the women and girls.

I won't make that mistake again. My money and my footsteps go for actual Dem candidates who uphold Democratic ideals in local and state races. I vote for the letter "D" in the Presidential election even when I know I'm not voting for anything much. It's really a shame.

principles be damned??

It's all there.

I wanted to be sure that what I thought you meant was actually your intention.

I believe you mean that you did vote for him damned your personal princinples, because the alternative was way worse.

That's my deciphering, am I correct?

I live in a "safe" state. My vote was a protest vote. I don't say there aren't any differences between Republicans and Democrats, just not enough differences.

It would be a harder call if I lived in Ohio or Florida or someplace like that.
