I don't know where to start here. I'm in full agreement with Zack on this. I'm really sick and tired of Republican whinings of "What would you rather have? A bunch of Democrats in office?" In regards to voting; when in the hell did the choice come down between either stabbing yourself in the left or the right eye? I choose neither! Yes, yes lets drone on about how third party voters are throwing their votes away. My favorite line came from a conservative caller to Sean Hannity's radio program. "Having principles is fine but we have to win". Thank God our founding Fathers never abandoned their principles as quickly as this caller has. Sad as it is to say maybe the Republican party needs to die a quick death. There is little to distinguish them from their brother Democrats now. Hopefully a coalition of freedom loving people could raise a new party from the ashes. One that really was conservative versus the one that now falsely claims to be.

What's that saying I've heard......"Republicans eat their own."........seems to be happening right here and now.....and YOU are the eater. WHEN in the last 200 years has a third party gotten a majority vote in anything? HUH? WHEN? I give up. Too hard to explain anymore.

LOL, and be replaced by what? Hmm, how come you aren't berating the founding fathers for basically setting up a two party system.

Like it or not that is our system. The 100% crowd will never get what they want, the only thing they get is to whine about how their 100% individual agendas aren't being implemented.

If you do not get more votes than the other people running, you lose the election.

If you lose the election, you do not have any effect on legislation or policy.

It's that simple. The caller to Mr. Hannity has a point.
