Now lets think about this... As much as I would like to see a 3rd party win, where do you think the votes for the 3rd party come from? The number of Democrat voters swiching to 3rd. party is slim to non-existant at best. The votes come from PO'ed Republicans. Face it, many here like to accuse the Dems of being "stupid", but look at what they can do as a MINORITY! A "stupid" Dem party would be one that DIDN'T find a way to shuttle some "soft" funds to the 3rd. party! At this point in politics, a vote for a 3rd. party (Prez) is the same as voting for Mickey Mouse. Mickey WONT get elected, and any vote by a "former" Republican, that isn't FOR a Republican, just means a greater percentage FOR the Dems.
Look at it this way.. No 3rd party... (At best) 50% Repub., and 50% Dem..
Now add in a 3rd party, (The vast majority, from disillusioned Repub's) and you have 49% Dem, 40% Repub., and 11% 3rd. party. Just who do you think will win?
Vote as you please, but untill there is about a 25-35% third party elected Senate and House a vote for a 3rd. party Prez, is a vote FOR a DEM.
I don't like it, I hope you don't like it, but untill that point is reached, well, your vote for a 3rd. party CIC IS a vote for Mickey.
I want to vote 3rd. party, but in good conscience, I will do whatever I can to see that ALL OF US aren't subjected to SHRILLARY.
Lets just say, that if MY ONE VOTE decided the next CIC election, and the whole country depended on it, I wouldn't vote for Mickey. I would vote to keep us from Clinton II.
I don't like Rino's, most here don't like Rino's either, but untill a base is built in both in the Senate and the House, voting your heart is one thing, voting to at least slow the destruction of the Republic is another. We can get a 3rd. party elected, but it's going to take some time, and a lot of effort, we need that base built FIRST, then and only then can a change come.
