All the third party aficionados out their will get exactly what they have coming to them.

Perhaps some of them can go back to being full time Larouchies now?

See how Bush ended up with a +90 percent approval rating now? Kind of proves that less than 10% of Americans are actually Democrats.

1. Oooh, This One Should Be Fun...
:popcorn:

I'm proud to say I'm one of those "10 percenters"...never liked nor trusted the booosh regime and thought they were the cause of 9/11 from the moment I saw the planes hit the building. Not MIHOP or LIHOP but how inept they had shown to be in governing, it was just a matter of time for something to go wrong and it did...over and over and over again. I'm also proud to say I haven't voted for a rushpublican in over 25 years.

To those who want to play third party...go for it. If principals means more than results, if you're so put off by the current system, at least stay engaged.

14. None that I can see. If a progressive is in the running
then that candidate will get my vote. I don't care WHAT party affiliation they have listed next to their name. IMO, it's better to vote for a third party Liberal/Progressive than to ever cast another vote for a DLC New Dem. Time to do some weeding.

18. Show me what difference it makes who is in office anymore...
Bush, Obama, WTF?

Has Obama stopped the wars?

Has Obama thrown the money changers in jail and cleaned up Wall Street?

Has Obama surrounded himself with officials any different than what Bush surrounded himself with?

Is the de-regulation era coming to an end?

Tell me PLEASE what the fuck difference it makes who is in office anymore?

11. If only the world was that simple...
and we could assume any democratic candidate embodied our ideals. Alas, it's not that simple, and having a (D) after a candidate's name seems to mean less all the time. You go ahead with your mission, but reflexively voting based solely on party won't serve you in the end.

I have not found one in the last 10 years.

13. I never have
but as the lines blur, I'm becoming less and less motivated to vote for the bucket of snot simply because it's not the bucket of shit.

15. Yesterday we crossed lines to sabotage the fall vote for a tea bagger!
The moron was in second place against a Republican millionaire who paid more than one million dollars in campaign costs. I thought the democrat would smash the moron in the fall, but the millionaire bought his way into the race and won!

There were no democrats running, just some mischief on our part.

26. Got some goofs saying they are going to write in Mickey Mouse because Blanche Lincoln won
Got some bigger goofs agreeing with them.

Never a dull day.

28. Well, they should be used to rigged elections by now. After all, no one
is doing anything about it. So, we get what we get.

Meanwhile, voting for Mickey Mouse isn't going to solve anything and could make things worse.

29. Everyone should use their vote how they see best.
Continuing to vote for Dems every chance you get is exactly how you should vote if you feel that is for the best.
