   ANY third party spoiler that comes along..there was Anderson, Perot, Nader and others...surely there is an egoist waiting in the wings somewhere.

Right, we should just continue to vote for the status quo candidate, and let everything get spoiled.

...TM7

WAKE UP now as it stands you have TWO CHOICES Republican or demoncrat. any other thrird party vote is a spoiler vote as any third party candidate just does not have the clout to beat the top two parties and yes that includes libertarians they do not have the power or the clout to get the job done. Until some 3rd party does all they do is help tip the election to one party or the other. The only reason Jessie won in MN was because of a very heavy vote unusually so and more college kids then normal  and he got a unpressidented amout of college kids voteing  to vote him into office because he was a ex  pro wrestler and a celeb. Oh I am sure he had some votes from others too but the College kids put him in offce. They also have not voted that heavy since then. Being a Navy Seal probably did not hurt either. Because the vote was spit pretty evenly between the three he got in with the most votes. Any one besides him running would not have done that. SO unless the third party could get a candidate that darn near every one in America respected and loved I can not see it happening.

  No TM...If you don't like the "status quo"..you and your many friends get involved in one of the major parties and change it from the inside.
 
   Here's your chance to oust the "Neocons" (whoever they are).. or conversely, the "looney left"..and we ALL know who they are...

Voting for the lesser of 2 evils, sorry, works for me. The greater of 2 evils, is still greater. I certainly wish GB had a better policy on spending and border security, but compared to Gore or Kerry, sorry, I'll pick Bush. Is he perfect, hell no, but better than a few. Next election, haven't decided yet, but will probably still pick the lesser of 2 evils. Easier to work with somebody that agree's with what I believe in on 60% or 70% of the issue's, than somebody I only agree with on 10% of the time.  gypsyman

Fred is and he gets my vote from what I see Huckabee is like Ron Paul as far as he does not get the media attention he needs to get up higher in the pack. So far the Top 4 are Giuliani, Thompson and McCain and Romney  with Fred now that he has declared moving up on Giuliani. That pretty much leaves the rest in the back of the pack.

  Voting for the lesser of two evils does work...if we vote for a third party "loser", very often we let the GREATER of two evils in ..by default !

  So, as a defensive measure, sometimes we must "hold our nose and vote".

 
     jdt48653..opines that there are no conservatives running; let's be realistic...probably NONE of us can point to any national leader who fills our criteria to the "nth" degree !

   Therefore; we ALWAYS have to accept some sort of compromise when we vote.. 


    
   
Think about it;....Is Fred Thompson or Mike Huckabee MORE or LESS conservative than Hillary Clinton or Barak Osama/Obama ?

    Do you get an indication as to which is more conservative ?   ...Better make a choice, you will probably NEVER get the 100% PERFECT candidate, any more than any of the rest of we 300 million Americans !

    If you refuse to vote for one of those who will protect America and the 2nd ammendment..you may be shooing Hillary or Barak Hussein Obama into the oval office !

    'Corse..if Hillary gets in, that may give old Bubba another shot at interns in the oval office !...LOL

I think President Bush is about as close to a regular guy as we'll ever have.  Most folks just don't understand the issues.  That's why the don't understand him.  Since he's a gun owner, collector, and hunter I can't really understand why anyone would call the President anti-gun.

  I am not a Republican...and I am not duty bound to vote Republican !

  If the Democrats would bring forth a slate of candidates that are more conservative, pro gun, pro life, pro traditional values, pro business, pro Christian,  pro military and PRO AMERICAN than the Republicans offer, I would probably vote for the Democrats !

   With those criteria in mind...just what do you suppose, are the chances for me to get a shot at voting for Democrats ?


    As I see it, somebody has run their party train off the rails labeled "common sense"..and I don't believe it is my party OR the Republicans .

Ironglow the Demoncrats forced me to become Republican. Back when I was younger I was of no party I voted for who ever I felt was the right person for the job. After getting older and wiser and seeing what the Demoncrats have become I had to switch to the Republican Party to protect my gun rights and other issues like pro life ect. I would bet there in the last 20 years a lot of folks like me who switched to Republican just because of the liberal ways of the Demoncrats.

the dems have become a pain. they are a thret to themselfs. they are idiotic and think that they are over the average American. i remember last year john edwards decided to be a average american and he took his wife on his anniversary to a fast food place. everyone looked at him and was like we do better than that. they think in that state of mind that Americans all are poor and can't afford anything

  TM7...

   The first time I voted in a Presidential election (had to be 21 then)..I voted for JFK..and I was a Democrat..

  Like many, I "inherited" my party from my folks...LOL I did have and still do have much respect for Harry S. Truman.
  
   In 1964, I was in the Army in Germany and my unit did not adequately provide for voting opportunities..

  By the time 1968 rolled around and I found that the media was concealing the facts about Kennedy's "Camelot" (more appropriately "trampalot") and LBJ was a vast disappointment.

   As with Ronald Reagan, I didn't leave the party..the party left me...and I mean LEFT...left....left....left and left..in left field !

   Became an independant and in protest, I voted for G. Wallace knowing he couldn't win..and he didn't disappoint me..

   When 1972 dawned and the Democrats nominated McGovern..I knew by then , they surely had lost their marbles..

  Realizing I couldn't vote in the primaries (here in NY)as an Independent..I went Republican..

   Later (about 1990), distaining the primaries and trying to maintain a non-party driven thought process, I switched to Conservative..where I am today !

   I am comfortable voting for the candidate, from local to Federal...that is most conservative, most pro gun, constitutional, has traditional values, is most patriotic and has the most common sense and anti Commie.. etc....in my criteria, a few extra points would go to a genuine born-again Christian..

  That way, whether a candidate is Democrat or Republican really doesn't amount to spit... to me !

  ...However, upon seeing my criteria, you can probably guess how I vote most often.
