Great article about 3rd party voting.

I've noticed a couple people who have been doing that lately. I'm sure I've been guilty of it, too. I'm horrible at inferring tone in text, and it seems I default to them trying to be insulting. Sometimes it's tough when your passionate about something.

Yup, I'm tired of it.

It has been made very clear to me that the (L) does not understand politics whatsoever. They do not understand that in order to win elections you must build a consensus across a wide range of people, that is why I keep saying the (L) is exclusive and the (R) and (D) are inclusive. The (L) cannot debate their position in a manner that will attract others, they inject their verbal poison rendering their good ideas unpalatable. I would be remiss not to mention the pure insanity of thinking that they can burn the Republic to the ground thinking they'll rebuild it, much less survive the horror they have created, that just won't happen.

We have to work the (R) from within, and in spite of seemingly insurmountable odds, we can never give up. I've voted (L) in the past. This year, in my effort to see Mr. Obama take his last flight on Marine 1 I'm voting for Romney. I don't want to think about the next 4 years with Obama, it will be a nightmare for every single citizen, except the elite (D).

I think I am just going to vote for Obama. The sooner this country hits bottom the sooner we can start rebuilding.

I've been saying this for 4 years.

Personally I'm fucking tired of being told every 4 years that THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION IN US HISTORY! WE HAVE TO STOP THE TREND AND REVERSE IT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

Every goddamn time, it's the most important election ever. And every goddamn time, the GOP puts forth a shit candidate. And every time we resolve to hold our noses and vote for him even though we don't like him, because the alternative could be worse. And we resolve to do better next time. And then the next time comes and its the same goddamned story.

Fuck the two party system and fuck it's stranglehold on America. We get to choose between progressive authoritarians and religious authoritarians. Fuck it. Might as well write in a cartoon character. It'll have the same effect.

Fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck.

Ridge is easily my favorite. PONIES FOR POTUS!!!

I can think of one difference between our two choices for this year that I haven't seen mentioned in this thread and it's the choice that each would make to fill probable soon to be empty Supreme Court Justice seats. We've seen what Obama likes to nominate, and I beleive it's very easy to beleive that Mitt would nominate someone much more conservative. If Obama wins and does indeed to place two more justices on the Supreme Court, well, that'll be about the last nail in the coffin for this country.

You just can't have a discussion with anyone without insulting them can you.

Good luck with that.

YOU insulted ME.

I asked if you were high.

I also don't understand the problem with the L argument.

We are for personal liberty, and responsibility. Fiscal responsibility in government. Limited FEDERAL government. The Federal Government is the problem, not the solution. They have exceeded their powers granted to them by the constitution. The NFA is illegal. It is not up to anyone to legislate the morality of pornography, and it is not up to the government to legislate the type of light bulb I choose to use.

How is that exclusive? Because We don't believe in the legislation of either side's personal morality, thus intruding on the rights of others I belong to an exclusive club? I guess so, because if you believe in legislating the morality of one side or the other you belong to one of those clubs. It doesn't make us any more exclusive than either other side. THEY choose to exclude us, and shoudn't expect our votes.
