no one votes for a third party
in a delusional state, they pretend to vote
all candidates in modern presidential elections that are not either a Democrat or a Republican are merely a pretenders

In other words, third party votes are irrelevant.

If that is the case, then why do you care whether or not I vote third party, if that vote is so irrelevant?

You vote for politicians who will move things left "in a delusional state" as you "pretend to vote" against the left.

That is the plain reality, regardless of party dynamics. The plain reality is that I and many others have, after years of voting the way you still do, finally realized the con game and STOPPED PLAYING. That is why Romney lost.

Deal with it.

alleged hear say is not admissible

your post admits ignorance on the face because you don’t actually know from your own reading anything about wikipedia, good or bad.

we learned that St Paul while on the road to Damascus saw the light..... he was enlightened

You are a delusional FReeper but there is hope. You might become enlightened....... see the light

In the darkness, in the middle of the light, it might come. The scales will be brushed away and you can see the light

I am an anti-democrat, and I will vote accordingly.

Yet this anti-democrat defines being anti-democrat as ONLY voting Republican.

So to be "anti-democrat" he uses his vote to endorse a politician who has the same philosophical approach as the Democrats on every issue from government-run health care and cap-and-trade environmentalist power grabs, to on-demand abortion and forced acceptance of homosexual "rights."

Being anti-Democrat by voting for a Republican who sympathize with Democrats in office.

Playing defense. Voting "against."

Repeal, you asked me in post 430: Did you take your ball home yet?

No way, dude. You can play defense and lose. My ball is now playing offense and I am on a mission to encourage every voter to take that approach. My vote is my last chance at the ballot box to peacefully resolve this mess. I'm going to give it to someone other than your amoral leftist Republican or the amoral leftist Democrat. Tyranny is going to result with either the Republican or the Democrat -- I am going on offense to use that vote to make that tyranny as embattled and weak as possible.

By thinking defensively in terms of "anti democrat," you are being tripped into using that vote to empower that tyranny.

Why are we in the same party?

Jeb Bush was governor of Florida, and as such was significantly more conservative than Romney, whether it be on taxes, 2nd Amendment, or, obviously, health care.

There's not much of a comparison, therefore. BUSH.

Of course, "None of the Above" would potentially be preferable if those were the only 2 choices...

In other words, this early in the race there’s no down side to going all in for Ted Cruz.

"Finney’s fault"

But if Romney had won and was iron-fisting all the same tyranny as he very certainly WOULD be doing and weakening conservative tea party Republicans while he was at it, if I blamed bert for it ...

Eh, bert? Whose fault would it be then? And WHY?

Like some others here, bert is still so blind with rage over Obama's re-election, that he can't see the forest for the trees.

Bert, have you ever given Mitt Romney's record in office more than a cursory examination? If you did examine it, what did you conclude from reading it? Did you really come away believing that he was anything other than a no good, flip-flopping, phoney baloney, big government statist?

Did you honesty examine his record and think that he wasn't a gun grabbing, homo supporting, pro choice, tax raising, leftist cozying scumbag?

Did you take him at his word when he told us that he was a "severely conservative" Republican? Really?

And finally, given that he was the grandfather of Obamacare, did you really believe that he would go to Washington and govern any differently than Obama?

Tell me you never really bought into that hallucinatory bullsh!t, bert.

In some other words, yes. In other "other words," chances of the GOP nominating Cruz are probably pretty slim so there's little point in going all-in for Cruz unless it makes you feel good because he's such a great guy. I'll vote for him whether he's on the R ticket or a third party. I will vote for a limited government conservative and if that happens to be a Republican, great. But I ain't holdin' my breath that the Republican party is going to suddenly wake up and nominate Cruz.

Correction -- Romney to a T except you left out tree-hugging envirowacko-sympathizing.

There is that, too. Blame it on Romney's liberal resume. It's just too extensive to remember all of it off the top of my head.

And some people are still wondering why so many conservatives stayed home in 2012. Sheeesh, what's it gonna take?
