That's right, but the Democrats that control Congress and the Senate will vote 50billion to put down the rat hole, but they will not vote for health insurance. Do you get the picture folks? There is no difference. Vote Third Party to make you vote stand out. Don't support the war machine of the two parties.

Stacy's right. But the third party will never win.

There is more about life then winning. Integrity of ideas. That is something that the Democratic Party does not have. They just want power like the GOP. The two major parties are dirty and I will not eat their crap. Vote third party.

Stacy, you truly are my new hero! VOTE THIRD PARTY!

Ray, third party candidates will never win as long as YOU are unwilling to vote for them.

Keep in mind what Abe Lincoln's brand new Republican Party managed against older, more entrenched parties.

Not only that, you don't even have to have many candidates that win elections to scare the pants off the established parties, and have them adopt and pass your entire Agenda FOR You!
This is what the Prohibition Party managed to do, long about 80 years ago.
Granted, it was an F'ed Up Agenda they had, but the principle still holds.
Get 'em scared of losing their hold on power to your new party with new ideas (or Old ones, like Obeying the G.D. CONSTITUTION!), and see how long it takes for YOUR ideas to become THEIR ideas.

Democratic fundraiser stole money to contribute. A top Democratic fundraiser wanted as a fugitive in California turned himself in Friday to face a grand theft charge. After reports surfaced this week of Hsu's fugitive status in California, Senator Clinton joined other candidates in returning thousands of dollars he raised, but the allegations distracted her campaign just as it prepared to ramp up for the intense post-Labor Day stretch. This is why I vote Green.

What third party? Independent means dependency upon Red or Blue hence nothing new. Unless there was some major Yellow party and alas at least offering the public the primary colors of party politics. Perhaps some day we will achieve a rainbow but as of now it is Red or Blue and neither are true.

I myself am voting for my cat as a write in. I call him Socrates but really I know that this cat is the 30th reincarnation of Aristophanes—hence a true comical aristo-cat. Old karma is indeed difficult to undo, even for talented reincarnations that come back as cats. There is something in this cat's stance upon things that really is politically intriguing—especially while performing acrobatics on the wire fence just outside my home. Sometime he falls to the left and others to right and well its about as predictable as the American elections—50-50 either way without change, which means pure chance, like flipping a coin and calling heads or tails, while its tails the cat is trying to catch, but it is to no avail because either way its either right or left in terms of the fence, tails or not tails—like Schrödinger's cat I suppose, but as opposed to indeterminacy we also achieve a perfectly deterministic political outcome—nothing desirable comes out of the political composition that achieves a Pareto improvement for the majority, it is rather always the 1% minority that get richer while the rest move closer to chaos—meaning Stacy is right, change is necessary but I doubt it will occur before the entire stability we have know for at least since 1929 will give way to an uncontrollable explosion of anarchy—but out of this anarchy whether we will be on the left side or the right side of the fence takes us back to that silly cat Socrates trying to catch his tail on a wire fence who always misses it and falls either to the left or the right—but the object it to catch the tail, like the tiger. Cause it's then you know what you got.
