(Legal, etc., but that's a whole different discussion...)

The 2 party system that we vote with has been a bullshit failed system for many years than any of us in here have been alive to see. Granted this term we're all screwed because yet again we're stuck with the decision "Shall there be a Democrat or Republican in the White House?", because at this point, voting 3rd party WILL be just like voting for Perot back in the day.

We as a country need to wake the hell up and realize that NEITHER a Democratic or Republican party will aid us as a UNITED COUNTRY. "A country that's divided surely will not stand".... and ironically that's the very thing we have. Dems, or Reps, Cons or Libs, Right or Left........ "divided".

Maybe one day we'll truly be able to elect a president based on that individual's own platform..... No party, no affiliation, no special interest group. Part of it starts with sharing this mindset with those closest to us, who then share it with others and so on. A pipe dream? Maybe, but for the sake of this country, let's hope not.

As far as this election goes, yes, any other vote than Romney, may very well be a vote for Odouchebama. But never lose track that something better can exist, it simply has to be decided that what we have now, isn't working.

Oh, really? Well what the fuck are you doing that's so life-altering that the rest of us should listen to you...much less follow your advice?

And I have news for you. I'm plenty active politically and I'm a vocal advocate for what I believe in. I'm so sick and tired of all the 3rd party bullshit that I could just scream. I don't have 100 years to fix the system. I have to work with what I have for the remaining 20 to 30 years of my life. And right now, what I have, is the 2 party system. So you can peddle your 3rd party snake oil all you want. Your gonna find very few buyers.

Furthermore, you're preaching to the segment of the population (those that love freedom and believe in the constitution) who is most likely to listen to you. And you're not even convincing to most of us. What do you think the true liberals/lefties think when they read your bullshit? I guarantee you you're not convincing to many of them, either.

Bottom line is, take your 3rd party fairytales and kiss my ass. And after all your hardass tough guy posturing what have you come up with? Oh, yeah...that's right. What many of us have been saying all along. A vote for anyone other than the Republican nominee is basically a vote for Romney.

So much for all your preaching. But I think I'll stick to the church of common sense. And, I will vote my conscience. I will vote for the candidate I think best represents what I believe in, even if that candidate isn't perfect. I will vote for the candidate that I think will do the best job...even if it's not a perfect job. I will make every possible effort to convince others that my decision is the right decision for this election and will encourage them to vote in a like manner, for the same candidate. I will not vote for some pie-in-the-sky, minor player. Especially this year...and probably not next time either.

Fuckin' deal with it.
