So, we are saying here that no matter how bad the Republican party becomes that as long as it is better than the Democratic party we would be fools to vote for a third party?



As long as we only have two main parties and the media discounts all others we need to choose from those two.  The sad thing is that it is the conservatives that can't get along and quit splitting the party.  It happened to us in 2008, and we got BHO; in Minnesota we did it in 2010, and we got Dayton; and if we do it again in 2012 we will have BHO again.

At the local level primaries narrow it down to to candidates per office and write ins if anyone wants.  But at the state and national level we still dilute to vote over multiple candidates.
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

I'll take that as a Yes
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
