In the two-party system we've had for years, not voting for the lesser of two evils is a deriliction of duty.

If you want to effect change beyond simply voting, you do grassroots work to persuade people and politicans to effect policy and philosophical change, not by wasting your vote on a third-party candidate.

I find these '100percenters' quite childish. They want to be held blameless by taking no chance they could be blamed for - gutless. They are gods to themselves, with standards so high nobody can meet them.

Politics in a 'democracy' or 'representative republic' is the last place on earth to expect purism.

I don't know a single person who comes even close to a "100 percenter."

And I do find it utterly offensive whenever someone comes here on FreeRepublic, holds up a prospective candidate who is conservative on about 10%-20% of the issues, and suggests that anyone who doesn't support this candidate is a "100 percenter."
