For those that think a third party can never win an election.........look back to 1992. Ross Perot won 19% of the popular vote even after dropping out of the race, had he stayed, he stood a very good change of winning the whitehouse. He could have earned my vote as well as many others had he stayed in the race. (This was another case of the lessor of two evils, Bill Clinton and GWH Bush.)

As for voting for an independent in this race, in my opinion it is a wasted vote, and may lead to the election of one we really don't want. I don't care how you vote, but strongly recommend you vote for the one you thin will best serve this country.

P.S. And when you drop down on your knees pray for this country.....we need all the help we can get!

Who says Palin can't do anything as veep ? ...She's already being effective as veep candidate ! It's relatively late in the game, but I believe Sarah has convinced McCain what is really bugging the folks out here in "real people" land.
I picked up a clue in an interview she gave, and believe they.... McCain/Palin, will be taking the fight to the Dems chosen machine picks.
I think they will put forth the idea of getting to the bottom of the Freddie/Fannie mess and find out WHO was responsible ..on Wall st as well as in Congress...name names and pursue justice for them. Just a guess, but I think you will see it coming around.
If such transpires, better vote for McCain/Palin..because you would be getting a pro-active Sarah..God bless her...

If voting for a 3rd party candidate is the brave thing and sends a message, I wonder who will heed the message? At this time, there is only two parties in this country. The others are probably considered noise or static which no one pays attenetion to.

After the game is over, the votes for the 3rd party will be forgotten.

There's nothing brave about it. It's a mindless act of selfishness.

So if a democrat vote third party then that's a vote for McCain right.

Quote DEE

"Mike there WILL BE a Libertarian and Constitutional candidate on the ballot. I will vote either. Bob Barr is on the Libertarian ticket, and I can't remember his name, but the Constitutional candidate I believe is a Baptist minister. BOTH! Stand for the Constitution and Bill of Rights. "

Boy aint you the super informed fellow. And you preach to us. GEEZ! I'd think a guy who was pushing these super candidates would at least know the guys name! Maybe you ought to send this feller a lil of your money so at least he can get some adds out on TV or radio.

I'm gonna vote Mc Cain in hopes he dies or is otherwise indisposed so he cannot serve.

thanks Greybeard for interpreting .. in a nicer way.. what i have been trying to say

we owe a debt of gratitude to the GREEN party and RALPH NADER
he took many votes from OWL GORE enough for little George to win bey 135 votes here in Florida

if the liberals learned from that 3rd party mistake and we don't
practice saying PRESEDENT OBAMAM....THE MUSLIM

So its selfish to vote third party ? gee wizz next you will be calling peoples momma names ! Anyone who believes that BS is anti AMERICAN !
Can't wait to hear what ya think of a write in vote ?

If it was not so important ( VOTE FOR PRES ) this would be funny . A bunch of adults who call the system a failure and the canidates un worthy demanding we need to vote for the less of two evils . Then blame the system on every other voter , some hope harm will come to one canidate so the vp can take over etc. etc. YES I KNOW I AM PART OF THE CONVERSATION . But i took time to look at what was being said and it is gutless on our part if we cave in to business as it has been . we will get what we deserve that's for sure !
At least when you vote third party you can say I VOTE AGINST THAT ! with honesty in your voice !

45-70.gov · « **Reply #132 on:** October 10, 2008, 02:12:56 AM »

voting third party..no matter what you can say i did not vote for that......where is the guts there....sounds like a cowards couse...some people are never nappy...i can assure you the 3rd party man you vote for won't be blamed for anything..........he will be forgotten

if we get HUSSEIN OBAMA i will know i did ALL i could
if we get MCCAIN and he signs a gun law or what ever i don't like i will call and write letters
and i will be more active in my LIBERTARIAN party

If your making an attempt to educate people on anything, take GB's example and USE THE FREAKING SPELL CHECK! Use punctuation! At least try to appear like you do know what your talking about. While I may not agree w/ Greybeard all the time, at least he makes the effort to post a clean, well thought out post. Some of these I see on here I laugh at because a third grader has better grammar...

P.S, Took me 3 seconds to run the spell check...

SHOOTALL · « **Reply #134 on:** October 10, 2008, 04:16:58 AM »

Voting with the crowd is coward ! if you believe different . IMHO !

Depends on the school as to 3rd. graders grammar !

For whatever this is worth:
   I don't think republicans have a chance of actually winning in this election. There is just too much anti-republican feelings out there.
   I think history will remember these last 8 years as a time of extreme turmoil and will judge that "W" did what he could. For now though the majority of people I have talked with are content to blame everything on the president and that really hurts the republican party.
   I actually wish the race was between the two VP candidates than Obama & McCain. In any event, I don't think we're going to have the same selection at the gun store a year or two from now that we have today.

It saddens me to think this way and I hope I'm proven wrong. I will still vote what my heart tells me to vote.

my heart tells me to stop a democrat at all cost

defeating the biggest tread first is all that matters

we can fight liberal Republicans later

winning isn't every thing it is the only thing

2nd place will be taken by PALIN or BIDEDEN bidden is a democrat

if your don't influence the out come....WHO WILL?

Not you if you keep typing like that... People like me have a very, very hard time taking this kind of thing seriously... I listen to a lot of extemely smart people who have speech impediments, and I can take them very seriously, once they finally get what they are trying to say out, but geez, its a keyboard...

You claim to be in the top 2% of the "WOULD" according to MENSA...

Top 2% of WHAT??? Hot dog eaters? Top 2% of Cake Bakers? Piano Tuners?

I've got a friend named Jamal. He mostly hangs out in the Hunting and Shooting General Discussion area. You guys would get along famously. You have a lot in common.

What we need is a NONE OF THE ABOVE option. If that one gets the majority we have to do it over again and NONE of the ones in the last go around are eligible to run again. Now that's a THIRD PARTY choice I could vote for.
