Once more “principled” people try to pretend before God and man that in a main election, a spoiler does something different this year than spoilers did in past years.

The time to get “the right stuff” was the primaries. Tea Partiers, bless their bitter clinging souls, were about as organized about this as a herd of cats. Putting up a main election challenger is not merely too little too late, it is counterproductive. It is not for no reason that “Perot” became a verb, to GHWB’s chagrin and Trashy Bill Clinton’s delight.

Now, of course, we would do well to encourage LIBERALS who are upset with Barack Obama to field their OWN spoilers!

[knarf]

The time for ideology is in the primary ... after that, we vote for the outcome.

Our choice is obama or whatever.

ABO is my guiding light, and if no other is viable, it has to be Romney.

I don't prefer that, but I cannot live with a clear conscience if zero is re-elected and I had voted for __________ as an idealogical or protest vote.

That's the fact of it all.

Romney is very,very likely to harm me,and my beloved country,at least a little bit less than Osama Obama over the next four years therefore I WILL VOTE FOR HIM! Not with any particular joy in my heart,but I'll do so nevertheless.

[EGPWS]

They don’t recognize that they’re merely repeating a manipulative platitude, calculated to keep voters within the ideological boundaries of a thoroughly corrupt two party system.

Well for crying out loud, who cares as long as our team wins!

[cripplecreek]

I’m a lot more concerned about those downticket races. One more progressive republican in the white house won’t make things any better since they all think they’re royalty.

I encourage people to get out and vote for someone (Romney, write in, or 3rd party) as long as you hit those downticket races.

I also hope people start taking part in the instate party politics. In Michigan the GOPe elements (Saul Anuzis and Holly Hughes) were removed from their seats on the republican national committee last week and it only takes a few hundred people in each state to make the difference.

“The future of our nation doesn’t hinge upon the outcome of this single presidential election”......

Pardon me! We certainly have had more than one pivotal POTUS election in our history, but THIS ELECTION is undeniably the icing on the cake. Everything “most of us” hold dear are in danger from nobama and the dems. This poarticular guy has shown he is unafraid of either Congress or the Constitution by taking on doing whatever he pleases by caviot outside the rule of law

3rd party vote or no vote is one of the things right up there with Acorn-type voter registration/fraud, that could save nobama.

Other than Mormon hatred, its hard to see your rational point.

[svcw]

The future of our nation doesn’t hinge upon the outcome of this single presidential election. But it has a great deal to do with the long-term character and principles of the voters who will participate in this and future elections. If they can be deceived every election cycle into selling out for an illusory short-term political gain, we will all lose in the long run.

But if enough voters remain true to their core principles and refuse to be swayed from them, there is hope that the greater struggle for liberty and good government can be won.

Spot on!

[rogue yam]

This article is a load of sanctimonious, self-important bull.

There are many admirable young up-and-coming leaders in the GOP.

[EGPWS]

No vote for socialists.

It's just not right.

Voting for a socialist is promoting socialism and if choosing between 2 socialists with an agenda to take what earnings individual labor creates to pass on to others forcibly, then we are already a country that once shined brightly the beacon of freedom that has gone dark without a cry of why or a roar of a battle.

[Sherman Logan]

Columnist Vin Suprynowizc once asked his readers to imagine that they were citizens of the Weimar Republic in the 1930s. ... “They told us that our only choice was between the Nazis and the Communists. So I had to choose the lesser of the two evils”? Or would they rather say, “I refused to support either the fascists or the Bolsheviks. Because of this, I was shouted down, marginalized and abused for refusing to acquiesce, but I stayed true to my conscience and to my principles”?

Really bad analogy. The Weimar Republic was a parliamentary multi-party system in which governments were usually formed by coalitions among the parties. If enough people supported the non-Nazi and non-commie parties, then these extremists stayed out of power.

We have, for better and worse, a two-party system. A vote for a third party is wasted.

This, in theory, could change at some time in the future. This year, it is quite obviously true.

[Graybeard58]

No Romney and no Obama. The lesser of two evils is still evil.

[EternalVigilance]

"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution."

...the fraudulent two party system offers no real choice...

I prefer this "fraudulent two party system" to a possible one-party system.

If 'bam stays in, this is a real possibility.

Vote for Romney and you vote for a president, not a dictator. If 'bam wins it may not be so. Remember this.

Don't make 'best enemy of the good.'

Romney is so much better than Obama. This whole discussion is crazy.

Do the words, Supreme Court Justices, mean anything to you?

[Colonel_Flagg]

Agreed. No votes for socialists.

Actually, it’s no longer “ABO” — it’s “NBR”. Nobody But Romney.

Kinda puts a different spin on the rhetoric, doesn’t it?

[Conservative Vermont Vet]

Thankfully, an increasing number of voters are refusing to accept the false dilemma they’re being offered. These are the citizens who have taken the time to educate themselves politically, economically, spiritually, and philosophically. They recognize that the fraudulent two party system offers no real choice. They understand that the only vote for Obama will be one that comes from a person actually casting their ballot for Obama.

Dear Bryan:

Thank you very much for your support and scintillating back-door endorsement, couched in language, guaranteed to confooze some Conservatives (especially at Free Repbulic) by using the "We Must Stand on 'PRINCIPLES'" argument.

It is brilliant if I might say so myself.

Again, I, my fellow Demo-Rats in Congress, my Far Left base, the Lame Stream Media and of course, my "Brothers" in the Islamic Movement, are most appreciative."

Give me 4 more years to complete what I have started and I can Guarantee, "PEACE IN OUR TIME..."

Of course it might not be exactly the kind of "Peace" y'all are used to, but as long as you "Submit" to Islam; practice Sharia, pay the Jizzya; abide by all the rule imposed according to our sacred prophet Mohammud (PBUH) and that which is governed by the Qur'an, then you will live like all other Infidels have been allowed to for the past 1,400 years.

Alahu Akbar!

Sincerely,

Barack, Barry, Soeotoro, Hussein, Obama.
