It makes perfect sense.
I felt that Clinton was the better choice to govern over Bush1 and then Bob Dole.
I felt that Bush II was the better choice over Al Gore and then John Kerry.
I felt that Obama was the better choice over McCain.
The party platforms don't mean much of anything to any presidency. Each man does his own thing once in office.
The Democratic party platform nor the Republican party platform have ever been actually implemented by any president.
But you just go ahead and keep on voting for your favorite "team". Let me know when the party platform actually becomes law.
Personally, I would have liked to see Ron Paul as president. At least he espoused some things that I believe too (cutting the military and bringing them home and more personal freedom)
