For all you 3rd Party Zealots

[Ronin13]

Just so you know. When it comes to politics you are a real A hole. If some one isn't very politically smart or informed; they are mocked and ridiculed. God forbid that other people have a though process different then you.

Fixed for you...

Yep, a--hole OP #2 just checked in.

Then one day I woke up and realized that the Republicans were doing damage to our rights as well. Not only that, they were compromising with the dems on fundamental issues on the grounds of "reaching across the aisle", Unity, etc. Both sides are against me. I'm a conservative libertarian. Personally I think religion is stupid, but respect everyone else's right to believe what they choose, and show reverence toward their decisions. I'm rewarded by blue laws, Vanity taxes and "sin" taxes. I don't believe in sin, yet I'm taxed for it. I also believe in the constitution as written, no magical interpretations or wacky definitions of "the people", "arms", "shall not" etc. NEITHER PARTY OFFERS ME WHAT I WANT. I'm a constitutional conservative, not a religious progressive, or a socialist progressive, or a religious conservative, progressive conservative etc. For me it's like watching two dogs fight over my dinner, no matter who wins, I lose.

Wow, you just wrote my bible.

I've voted pretty much straight R tickets since Reagan's first term. In fact, I've only ever voted for a D once and that was a vote against Congresstool Tom Castle who even with an R after his name was more liberal in deeds than most of our Democrats in office here in this state.

I will not vote for the party of stupid blindly anymore only to find out that they'll give in time and time again to the party of evil just so they'll get a quick reach around by the media. The look of surprise on McCain's face when the media turned rabid on him the second he was the nominee disgusted me too much to ever do it again.

Now, I will never vote for a D again in my life no matter the circumstance. To me they fall on the scale somewhere around the Vichy regime.

However I will now vote for third parties if I like the candidate, I'll vote for Republicans if I like the candidate, and I'll leave slots blank if they all suck. My conscience has changed: Before it was do anything to prevent any D from taking office, to now voting for who best matches my interests.

I think the big thing we need to remember is this: Everything that Obama had done up until now will be TAME compared to what he will do without having to try to save face for another term. Romney may leave a bad taste in our mouths, however some individual freedoms (such as gun ownership) will certainly be under attack if Obama wins, and I'd rather have freedom even if it comes at the price of the bad taste of Romney. The anti-second amendment party will definitely go after our rights.

Every time someone says this I can't help but get a sound bite in my head of him talking to Medvedev (or whatever that Pinko bastards name is) "After I'm re-elected I'll have more freedom [to shred the constitution... hail Stalin!]"

More Gun control won't pass if the R's have the house, so your argument is moot.

I find it amazing that people give Obama any credit at all. He doesn't know what the hell he's doing... He's a puppet put out on stage and told to read the teleprompter.

Romney will be the same teleprompter reading puppet.

I support team TRP the red one the red one it must be!

NO I support team TRP the blue one the blue one it must be!

Right... because Obama is such a staunch supporter of checks and balances and wouldn't dream of going ahead with whatever he wants despite what congress says...

"Under the radar," remember...

... because Obama has paid SO much attention to his Constitutional duty to seek advice and consent from the Senate and Eric Holder didn't try to use Fast and Furious to create an inflammatory case to invoke gun control and the Obama Administration ISN'T trying to pass the UN Arms Trade Treaty after installing a Supreme Court Justice who thinks it's right and proper to look at what foreign governments and treaties are doing rather than historical Constitutional precedent ...
