Party lines indeed must look like a can of worms. There are no lines as far as differences in theology any more. A republican is a democrat, with a different name, and vise-versa. They have at last, all became the same. They have now became the ruling aristocracy, that the founders of this country ran from, TO HERE!
Must we be as the French? Starved, before we stand up? When the women protested in the streets of France for more bread for their starving children, then and only then, did the men step up, and say enough is enough. Enter the French Revolution.
One candidate says no drilling for oil. The other says limited drilling but, not in caribou country. BOTH say global warming, and free trade. Both say open borders, and amnesty for illegals. Both consider "their ideas ABOVE" the Constitution and Bill of Rights. BOTH TRAVEL BY TAX PAYER PAID JET.
A return to the later two (Constitution and Bill of Rights) is all that will save us, but it will take more courage, sacrifice, and swallowing the bitter pill of error, than the masses are willing to accept now. They continue to look for the easy way out, by voting for the lessor of, and we slip farther down into conscription by the ruling class for it. We are being HERDED as cattle to our proper voting pen, hoping in vain for something different, from the same. They know better than we, what is best for us.
So they (think they) do! That used to define the liberal, but not so much now. Educated, intellegent idiots! So who would you vote for if 2 candidates differ so little, and are both wrong?
woodchukhntr, the independent is a dark horse to say the least, as everyone continues to hold their nose and vote the same as always, and hope for the change that never comes.
It seems that it has never occurred to the masses that if they are as patriotic as they claim, a major shift to a third party candidate would send a message to the RULING ARISTOCRACY, i.e. the Republicans and the Democrats. Instead they choose to continue to support one or the other of the two, and ridicule those whom have stepped away from a failing practice. These vote as usual voters, criticize but offer no solution to the growing problem of poorer and poorer quality candidates, that has been brought about by voting for the lessor.
Some say CHANGE must start at the local level. What? Voting in a conservative mayor will change Washington? I don't think so.
Now the issue (as always) is future judges in the supreme court, 2nd amendment rights, and so on, while they vote for one of the, if not THE most liberal Republicans to ever hold office. They try to convince others that this Republican is going to change, when he hasn't changed in 20 some odd years of voting liberal ideas. He cannot simply make up his mind whether he wants to be a Republican or a Democrat.
I find it interesting when someone says that if you don't like the candidate THEY like, and refuse to vote for whom THEY think you should vote for, because THEY know better, that you are whining. Actually the opposite is true. They are the whinners, because some of us don't agree with THEM. I make observations and decisions on whom to vote for based on voting records, and issues important to me, and in support of the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, not some far fetched hope of candidates changing years of bad voting habits in the Congress and the Senate.
You may stand up in court for a thief you know the first time, and tell the judge and the jury that the man made a mistake. If he steals again, and you stand up for him, you are playing the fool for the thief.
Sometimes as Americans we forget that we are ALL free to make decisions on what WE feel is right, and others don't really have the right to accuse us of wrong doing based only on their opinion. And this, like theirs, is my opinion. This election will be over in November, one way or the other, and the real question is how many here will still be friendly toward one another? I can assure you Washington will not care one way or the other. To them, we are mere servants on the tax role.
