Well, if this thread is any indication, None of the Above will win the election, and some son or daughter of two crazy parents with the same name will unexpectedly find him/herself in the oval office.

because if we did they would not be the third choice.

I have voted for a 3rd party candidate when I was younger. (Long before Perot or Nader.) I had hoped it would generate more support.

Trouble with the 3rd party candidates, if they want to be on the big stage they will have to make deals and compromise the same as everyone from the Big 2 who has run. They will not look as pure when the spotlight is shining intensely on them.

What we need is an election that makes clear just how little legitimacy either of the bigs has in terms of representing "we the people".

If you could get 20 percent of the populace to say "anything but these clowns" with their chads, even 10 percent maybe, it wouldn't keep one of the clowns from taking office. But they would have real trouble because then all they have is power. They'd no longer have even the imprimatur of majoritarianism justifying their actions. They'd be just feudal oligarchs restricting the choices of their serfs.

Technically they shouldn't have it now, since often more than half of the electorate opts out at a given election. But if you don't vote, they can always make the fallacious argument that "if you don't vote, you shouldn't complain." But if you vote, but vote "HELL NO WE DON"T WANT EITHER OF YOU BASTARDS", even the fallacy doesn't wash.

The more people who vote for one or the other on a "lesser of two evils" basis, the more legitimacy they grant the bastards.

You don't think the parties would change if they spend a couple billion on an election and not only does half the electorate stay home, but 40 percent of those voting (20% of the whole) actively votes "NEITHER"?




And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Or you could vote for ME!!! I've voted for myself the last two presidential elections, so I'm no stranger to running a fair, but somewhat underwhelming race. My campaign finances are now $-4.11, but I figure to cover that this weekend with a quick trip to Spokane and Northern Quest Casino.

Or....end up further in the hole. Either way, a vote for me is a vote for me. What more could you ask for.


Cheesey....wanna be my VP?

Those are good ideas, if you want to make bad things legal.

I have watched Obama the last 4 years, and while he was president, the country has fallen over 6 trillion dollars deeper into debt since he took office. This coming from a guy who whailed on president Bush about us being 10 trillion in debt, saying something to the effect that that was "unpatriotic". So if he goes by his OWN measure, he should just drop out of the race.

All the "hope" and "change" talk was just that, TALK.

Now i see "FORWARD!" The new "word of the day!" What exactly does that mean? I think lemmings have that same motto.

Unemployment is higher, the national debt is higher, and he has shown nothing about how he's going to "change" any of it.....for the BETTER, i mean. Yes, there HAS been "change". Not any GOOD change though.

I see all these ads about Romney "only" paying 14% taxes on his income of 20 million dollars. "Only?" Figure it out.....14% of 20 million is WHAT? That's right, 2 million 800 thousand dollars. Tell me, how many years would the average person have to work to pay out almost 3 million dollars in taxes?

Tax the hell out of the "rich" guys, and what will happen? They will move out of the country. And who could blame them?
Plus the unreported fact that Romney paid out more then that in charitable contributions, many of which he didn't even take credit for on his taxes.

Yes, the guy is rich. But he EARNED it. So we should just take it away from him, because the damn bastard shouldn't have money, right?
I guess then we should hit up guys like George Clooney, and all the other rich hollywood types, cause THEY are rich TOO~!
How about the Clintons while we are at it? THEY have WAY too much money as well!

Being wealthy has been the way the democrats make the "average" person hate the republicans. Even though the ones out in the forefront that are spouting the hate speech are usually the rich democrats.
I'm a rebublican, and POOR. VERY poor in fact. I don't even know where next month's rent payment is coming from.

And no Cheesey they aren't going to move away, another fuckin myth dreamed up by some stick up his ass Republican. Don't be afraid of Count Chocula, Cheesey, he's going to take care of you on the rich man's dime because said rich man has been stealing from you forever.
