I understand. I also understand that there are huge differences in the two people who do have a chance to be pres. I'd also prefer a non republican or democrat but I see no reward in waiting in line to vote for someone with zero chance. Like I said, the time to be pushing for a third party was four years ago... I heard no criticism from you when Obama was elected, after all, he was the green president right? How'd that work out? I also want world peace, cold fusion, an Everlasting Gobstopper, and a heard of jet black unicorns. I won't get any of those either so I may as well be realistic and pick the lesser of two evils.Science Chic wrote:
And I know with 100% certainty that Obama or Romney being elected means NOTHING will change (or any other Republican or Democrat for that matter). They have the same attitude that they don't have to work for our votes, or do their job , and that a vote for another candidate is a wasted vote because they are guaranteed to win. With that thought in mind, I'd argue that every bit of argument, opinion, and effort being posted on this board by anyone is as productive as me and PS debating. I refuse to give up because to do so is to give up on more than just this election; we're screwed if nothing changes. But if no one cares about the other candidates here specifically, I'll refrain from posting any additional information (I just like to support a democracy in which voters become well-informed about all candidates, and ideally all candidates have equal opportunity).Heisenberg wrote: One thing you know with 100% certainty, is that neither of them will be elected president. Therefore, at this point, it would be just as productive for us to watch you and PS debate... you have about the same chance of being POTUS. The time for getting third party excitement and support would have been four years ago and have that momentum grow till this election. But there has been no significant support from the masses... which sucks, but it IS reality. Ross Perot was the the last best chance, and he still had no chance. If you want to blame someone, look to our worthless media.

So the Tea Party is more like a parasite inside its Repuglican host, a tape worm maybe?
