Romney is not a socialist? He firmly believes in socialism. He signed a socialist health care bill into law in MA. He has NO problem with accepting education monies from the Feds. Sounds socialist to me.

Romney Care was essentially the blueprint for Obama Care.

As long as the Republicans put up W's, McCain's, and Romney's there is only one way to defeat the progressive movement, and that is to vote for third party candidates like Libertarians, and people from the Constitution party...

The Republican's of the last 30 years have offered very little difference than the Democrats!!!

As I've said before..If the Tea Party would break away from the Retardplican(Republican) party and rid itself of the social conservative influences like Palin and Bachman, it could become a legitimate movement..

Agree that those you posted are not conservative but how would you be defeating the progressive movement if you vote third party?? You might as well vote for the liberal and get it over with because a third party vote, IMHO, is a throw away and plays into the hands of the libs. Just the way Clinton loved old Ross, Obama would LOVE a third party candidate to show up.

"W" isn't running....."O" is, let's stop going backwards and start looking ahead. We need someone that will work to REVERSE some of this stuff.

Carter isn't running either. But Obama is "same as". There can be two people... W, and someone just as bad. See what I'm saying? I'm using a like-minded individual, in order to make my case.

In a short-term practical sense, you're right about a 3rd party vote being a throw away vote, insofar as there's no legitimate/strong 3rd party.

Long-term, the solution would be for a behind the scenes coordinated effort to create and fund a viable party with the platform I mentioned a few posts back.

Romney gave the people of his state what they wanted. I don't brand him a socialst; but rather, a weak-minded fool.

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being beyond liberal and beyond socialist Obama is an 11. If the republicans run an 11 then write in whoever you want. If they run an 8 like Romney there's no way throwing away a vote for John Doe makes sense even if he is a 4 when you KNOW Obama will win as a result. I detest the Obama presidency and wish him gone gone gone and I really dislike Romney and don't want him at all but he is less evil. Use your third party and write ins at the local and state level where it can make some difference and where it doesn't re-elect the devil.

Yeah... and Ol Ross still reverberates throughout the Republican party. There was that lovely "giant sucking sound" that also reverberates. He proved that there is no difference between the parties... particularly on a one-world-economy.

OK....then maybe the question would be,all things considered.....would you rather have Carter/Obama or W/like minded individual as your next president? IF those were your only choices.

garyatk · Aug 7, 2011

If those were my only choices, I would write in NOTA... None Of The Above, because I sure couldn't throw my vote away like that!

Umm....if those were the only two choices, wouldn't writing in NOTA be "throwing away" your vote also??

That may be how you see it, but I would rather vote against what I know is wrong, than vote for it. I see your way as a wasted vote...

Well that's interesting but we can agree to disagree.

Same as there were when W was in.

You just helped make my point, thanks. You just proved your own belief to be false.

Today's giant sucking sound is that made by people believing a third party is a viable alternative. The only third party that would help conservative minded voters would be one started by the extreme left pulling votes from dem candidates.

garyatk · Aug 7, 2011

In retrospect... Do you really think that things would be that much different if we elected McCain instead of Obama?

As I said before.... I don't waste my vote!

I know that McCain is no conservative, but he's no marxist either. Some things would have been similar but to say they are one and the same is naive on the knowledge of who and what Obama really is.

McCain is a Facist just like Bush... Just a different shade of lipstick!

Puleeze. No one said it was a viable alternative, YET! But if it shakes things up, I'm all for it.

I know... that vast left-wing conspiracy really had us fooled by putting Ross and Jesse in their races.

The only thing I see the liberals doing was voting for McCain in the primaries... and probably Romney this time around. Gotta hand it to them. Not only do they dominate their party; but they select our candidates for us as well. Well, I'm not going to oblige them any longer.
