Rachel Lucas demonstrates how to refine the rant into a fine art:
Finally, regarding principles. I understand that some of you will not vote for McCain because of your principles, and I do not question your principles. I disagree with your conclusions about what will follow your application of them.
Rachel has been voting for as long as I have, since George H.W. Bush, and feels the same about her choices since then as I do. Maybe I feel that way because I never got to vote for Reagan, but then again, I don’t think I really liked Reagan all that much either.
