Anything against Romney is fine by me. I hope he’s laughed out of the general. The Repub establishment made a mistake in pushing him - they need to learn.

Technically, it isn’t Colbert’s SuperPac anymore. He “gave” it to Jon Stewart. Now it’s called “The Definitely Not Coordinated With Stephen Colbert Super PAC”

Here’s Colbert explaining it to George Stephanapolis: “To do this exploratory committee, I had to give away my Super PAC. That’s my baby. Do you know how hard it is to give away a baby? Now imagine if that baby had a whole lot of money. Imagine how much harder that would be to give away.”

Sadly, more than a few Freepers are acting like they would agree with you. You are wrong of course, there is no chance a 3rd party could win anything, much less an independent candidate who starts out now trying to form one.

third party has ZERO chance of winning.

they can not get on all the ballots.

they can not be in all states or even recognized.

third party is a guarantee obama victory and that is what obama is praying.

Rush does this effectively all the time.

IMHO, it was funny.

“Sounds like Hollywood is in panic mode and call on Colbert to sling the BS,Obama must have a smile so big his ear lobes are wet.”

Colbert is acting within the law as prescribed by the Citizens United decision. Certainly, you do not oppose the Citizens United decision and believe that PAC spending should be limited?

Google ‘Santorum’ for the comedy to be used against him.

Colbert is acting out of fear.

On Monday's Colbert Report, Colbert said it was too late to get on the SC ballot and no write-in candidates were allowed...BUT since it was an open primary and Herman Cain's name WAS on the ballot, he would consider every vote for Cain a vote of support for a Colbert presidential run.

I miss Pat Paulsen.
