I still don't understand how anyone can think that voting for the 'lesser of two evils' is somehow helping our nation.

I cant understand how someone voting their heart and voting 3rd party has
no clue as to the actual vote they just cast is wasted since that 3rd party or whoever isnt a R or D and the one who won
thier party's nomination STANDS NO CHANCE IN HELL in getting elected. This country is unfortunatly a 2 party country regardless
of how we actually wanna believe we are not. You vote for anyone other then the republican
who stands a chance to win and at least wont fuck this ocuntry up any further then nobummer
is a truely wasted vote. Libetarian etc isnt going to win an election in our lifetime. SOrry to burst your utopian bubble, but it isnt going to happen
and a vote 3rd party is truely a wasted vote and will be giving the dumnocrats a vote and taking one away from our chance for a conservative to gain office.

I completely disagree...

Romney is a centrist who actually believes in the country.

Obama is a socialist with a strong liberation undertone.

Centrist (who loves the country) vs. Socialist (who hates the country)

...yep, they are exactly the same [Bang][Bang][Bang]

Yeah...and the "Romney=Obama Lite" line is not only getting tiresome...it's a sure sign the person spouting the platitude is ridiculously ill-informed on the issues, history of the candidates and current events.

Ross Perot was the only 3rd party candidate in my lifetime to have ever had a chance of getting elected into the Office of the POTUS but he screwed it up with his "I'm in. I'm out. I'm back in" cr@p. The effects of this are still being felt today.

As others have stated, 3rd parties just don't have the broad based appeal to win the election. Because of this, they only serve to pull votes from the "lesser of two evils" candidate - usually the GOP candidate. The Dems count on this more than they do their voter fraud efforts.

The Dems select their candidate by choosing someone they believe has the voter appeal to win the election. The GOP selects their candidate by selecting those they feel have paid their party dues - even if there are many better choices which represent the values of conservatism.

I'm voting for Romney. Not because I like anything he stands for, but because I know that anything less WILL help to re-elect Oblowme. Anything less and I might as well turn my guns into the "State", give away all of the possessions I've worked hard to acquire, turn over all of my income to the "State", and put my hands out in front of myself to receive the shackles of my bondage.

Bottom line: Do I think Romney will make everything better? No, but two things I know with all my heart - (1) there is no 3rd party candidate with enough appeal to win the election, and (2) if Obummer keeps the Office we will come to believe that his first 4 years in Office weren't so bad after all.

How's that "registered Libertarian" thing working out for you in national and state elections?

Nailed it.

It is a 2 party country, 1 party will win.
1 has a prety girl, 1 has an attractive girl, a 3rd party is like a trailer trash meth head beatch.
Go with her if you want but then what you end up with might not be to your liking.

The problem is people who don't vote often bitch the most and either way they are "right". They will bitch about Romney and say I told you so, or they will bitch about Obama and say I told you so. It's quite annoying.

Romney IS Obama lite in many ways. That's a fact. But he is very lite when you consider he at least likes te country. Nevertheless he is clearly far more liberal than we what need. Still it's a clear choice

Don't state it as fact unless you can provide some proof.
