Yep - I think "Ross Perot" when folks bring out this guy's name as the one they'll vote for in order to "stand by their principles". We have been infiltrated by morons who want to pull a Neville" and allow the current threat to flourish - the problem is there is no one left to pull our bacon out of the fire for such a historic "misjudgement".
The same morons who Nevilled us by nominating Mitt Romney?
You play to win the game, not lose less badly...
Using your logic, you would have advised the voters to go for Lugar, despite his RINO voting record and the fact he didn't even live in the state anymore.
As an aside, Lugar has proven to be a sore loser refusing to help Mourdock in his campaign. This is the problem with having politicians who have been feeding at the public trough most of their adult lives. They feel entitled to the position. You should walk the halls of Congress to see the trappings of power and the special interests standing at their door.
You criticize Ross Perot, but fail to understand why he had such traction among the voters. Third parties have a positive impact on the system. The two major parties start paying attention to third parties when their ideas gain traction among the public. Usually, the major parties adopt those ideas. Unfortunately, this time, movements like the Tea Party are being demonized instead of being embraced. The GOP does it as its peril.
