At the very least, we can now put to rest that the Republican Party is the pro-war, anti-liberty party. Oh, you can make a case for it, but what I mean is that we now know that the Democratic party is just as willing, if not more so, as the Republican party to take part in war-mongering and not only violating constitutional rights, but human rights as well.

So congratuations. Your guy won four more years, and all that was required was to show that it wasn't what Bush was doing that the left hated so much, it was simply Bush.
Yes, I know Romney agreed with Obama, but morality doesn't work that way. One cannot simply go "Oh well, the other guy will murder children too, might as well benefit from it, if it's going to happen!" Well, a person can, but it just makes them a horrible hypocrite. In most cases, there were third-party options. Sure, Obama would have lost, but having morals sometimes mean losing so that you can take a stand for what is right. It would have sent a clear message to the Democratic Party that their members would not stand with a man who has doubled down on Bush's war policy. Instead, the moral high ground on the murdering of innocents, warmongering, and the protection of our civil rights has been lost to either party. No amount of hoping otherwise can change that.
The one cavet I have to this statement is for those who, like myself, were in states that did not have third-party options. I'd be interested in learning why you chose to vote for Obama over Romney in this case. For my own part, I picked Romney partly because I figured the media would once again be out decrying these barbaric actions, and not simply ignoring them for the most part.
