As a friend of mine keeps advising me when I complain that my job sucks:
“The checks don’t bounce.”
“The checks don’t bounce.”
“The checks don’t bounce.”
“The checks don’t bounce.”
.......
And, while a vigorous debate regarding the various candidates is good and healthy, “...let’s keep our eyes on the ball people...” as Michael Douglas suggests at one point in “The American President”.
“We MUST, ABSOULTELY, UNEQUIVOCALLY defeat Obama in 2012.”
“We MUST, ABSOULTELY, UNEQUIVOCALLY defeat Obama in 2012.”
“We MUST, ABSOULTELY, UNEQUIVOCALLY defeat Obama in 2012.”
“We MUST, ABSOULTELY, UNEQUIVOCALLY defeat Obama in 2012.”
“We MUST, ABSOULTELY, UNEQUIVOCALLY defeat Obama in 2012.”
“We MUST, ABSOULTELY, UNEQUIVOCALLY defeat Obama in 2012.”
.......
So, let’s ix-nay on the third party BS shall we? If we don’t UNANIMOUSLY vote for WHOEVER crawls out from under the dog pile, Obama will be back and each and every one of you who votes for ANYONE other than the GOP candidate will be PERSONALLY to blame for assisting that SPECIOUS and Republic-As-We-Know-It event to take place and that INCLUDES voting for PALIN as third party, write-in or wishful dreaming.
Remember the Perot elections (1992 @ 19% & 1996 @ 8%) - even though he withdrew, he siphoned off enough votes to put Clinton in the White House for EIGHT YEARS.
Um, while I completely agree, why direct that to me? I was not the one advocating third party. That would be collective suicide for America...
PS Ron Paul will not get the nomination. His PaulBot army pushing a bunch of polls means NOTHING. Ergo, no need for third party. (I would probably vote for MittCare if he got the GOP nod, but I wouldn’t like it, and frankly he would only be marginally better than obastard.)
