I understand why you would believe that. I disagree as I believe that line of thinking is a conditioned response, systematically drummed into the party loyalists who fail to see they are being played. as much as goatboy says it, obama and romney are NOT the same. If you stick to your plan and vote 3rd party, then obama gets another 4 years. 4 years where he can do whatever he wants because he does not have to worry about reelection--how will that help achieve your goals? I thought as you do years ago and voted for Perot---that got us Clinton. |

GHWB's inherent weakness as a candidate got us Clinton. Because WHY WOULD SOMEONE vote for Perot in the first place when they could choose a FANTASTIC candidate like GHWB? Answer? Because he sucked.. He sucked, and the vacuum of his suckdom created Perot.. Gave him an opportunity he never should have had, and buoyed him. |

Perot ran on a GASOLINE TAX, for crying out loud.. One of the most unpopular positions a politician could take at the time.
He preached getting the debt under control and not to engage in self destructive trade practices. Look where we are today? There's a bunch of people who believed him then, and with good reason.. GHWB refused to accommodate these voters. His intransigence created an opening Perot never should have enjoyed. He was a shit statesman, a shit president and his son is a junior shit cut from the same cloth.. He never would have been elected in the first place except for riding Reagan's coat tails. If he would have seriously addressed these issues, Perot would have been a marginal player, GHWB would have been much more popular and the Billy Jeff Presidency might have been averted. But he just didn't care.. So.. |

wrong hoffa, the vast majority of perot voters would have voted for bush over clinton. Yeah, that's what GHWB was counting on.. and he was wrong. His intransigence created massive support for Perot which he ordinarily wouldn't have enjoyed.. He deserved to lose for flipping America the finger like that. "Well, where else are they going to go?" isn't much of an election strategy.. It's how Democrats treat the niggers.. |

Because their options were limited? the issue to day is how do we remove obama from power and retain some chance to save the country from european failed socialism? does bashing the only guy who can beat him do that? |

Bush 41 was not a good candidate, we agree. I don't even think he wanted a second term. But why are we rehashing history? |

To think that one fucking vote matters is ridiculous anyway.. You run around her wringing your hands over a dozen people.. |

asked and answered.. repeatedly.. if you truly believe there is no difference between romney and obama, then you might as well stay home and get ready for 4 more obama years. its that simple. I am not going to convince anyone, but maybe I can make a few think clearly about it. |
