    How is a 3rd party vote "a vote for Obama?" Why couldn't it be a vote against. Is that not scary enough to be used in that context?

    At this point if it was't for the fact there are other elections on the ballot that effect me more, I'd wipe my ass with it an put it in the trash. We're boned either way.
    Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
    Haw haw haw?..

    When has the third party ever been a liberal? For as much as I can't stand liberals and democrats they do one thing well, stick together. Democrats will vote for Obama on basic party principle. Ask why and many can't give you a good, well thought out question. I mean come on he hasn't done anything that has been helpful. They will vote for him just the same. If we want him out of office we have to temporarily put aside our differences and stop bitching about how horrible of a candidate mittens is and freaking vote together.

    Just thought of this walking in to work, did anyone almost do what I did when he said it- I about jumped off the couch in standing ovation at the line:
    "..creating tomorrow’s prosperity rather than trying to redistribute today’s."

    The reason it is a vote for nobama is the fact that the vote for Romney or in any other PRESIDENTIAL election
    for the Republican candidate is wasted on a candidate that HAS NO CHANCE AT WINNING.
    Your vote is thus , by defination, wasted on a candidate that was not going to
    win in the first place and allows the close race to be decided with a "Patsy" vote, thus allowing the dumnocrat to be re-elected.
    If you voted for the Republican candidate,Romney in this case, it was one vote closer to ousting
    that sh*thead in the White Hosue right now.
    If you truely want nobama to be defeated, suck it up and vote for the Republican.

    If given a choice between a colonoscopy (voting Republican) or being butt raped (Democrat), Id gladly choose the colonoscopy.
    I dont wanna have either procedure performed on me, but I will choose the lesser of 2 evils.

    But by god vote that 3rd party so you can sleep better and know you did the right thing. Well you didnt do the right thing, would have been better if you didnt vote at all.

    He's speaking more in the context that each candidate has a group that are going to vote for them no matter what, what is left is those in the middle. If some of the people here are in the middle then their vote- technically due to our 2-party system (not saying it's right, but that's the way it is... for now)- should go one way or another, not a 3rd way, and thus their vote that could have gone to Romney instead gets tossed aside and lowers his total by one in that state. Meanwhile, another person in the middle, for whatever foolish reason, votes for Obama, and there is one more vote for O and one less vote for R because the first person, more or less, "threw their vote away."

    Because Romney is behind at the moment. Politico Polls RealClearPolitics
    or rather, its close enough if you waste yiour fucking vote on a 3rd party or write in a fucking name, that nobama will be re-elected.
    My sarcasm meter is broken at the moment, so I hope your not asking a serious question.

    This is why we will never see any real change in politics. Too many people are afraid or dumb to actually vote the way they should. If enough people actually voted third party instead of listening to this reasoning we might actually get some good people in office.

    Im not afraid, Im looking at reality of the system. This election to fucking important to
    throw my fucking vote for the libertarian or tea party canidate that I feel represents my beliefe structure.

    RIGHT FUCKING NOW, this is a 2 party goddamn country. No if ands or buts.
    You vote 3rd party, your voting for another 4 years of that dipshit.
    19% voted for Perot. If that same 19% votes for Romney, he wins.
    If that 19% or even as small as 5% vote 3rd party, oblammy is reelected.


    Is this really a difficult concept to understand? A 3rd party candidate IS NOT GOING TO WIN THE ELECTION THIS GO AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This boils down to SIMPLE MATH.

    46% + 5% = 51%
    45% + 2% = 47%
    3rd party wasted votes = 2%


    That 46% can be either Romeny or nobama right now.
