Well, unfortunately, it's a two party system. Winner takes all.

Disagree: it's a one party system, masquerading as two parties. And this party has a monopoly on the money, the media affluence, etc.

If you're serious about restoring Constitutional rule of law to this country, you can't do so by being part of this monopoly. You've no choice but to compete against it, whether it's in the guise of Democrat or Republican.

At this very instant, voting all Republican is crucial.

Crucial for "Republican control", but I've no reason to believe that's any better than Democratic control. If the reason is to empower Bush, then I can see why more Democrats would be a GOOD thing: Bush is a statist enough as it is.

My vote is going for Erskine Bowles. Between he and Liddy Dole, he's the only one resident enough of North Carolina to represent her in the Senate. Dole is an outsider who was "anointed" by the GOP bigwigs. I owe them no special loyalty, because the GOP has earned as much of my trust as the Democrats have.

That doesn't mean I'm going to like voting for Bowles, but hey if it's strictly a two-party system I'm still gonna vote for the best qualified of the two.

We must re-take the Senate and we must strengthen the majority in the House and we must take as many State Houses as possible.

Who's "we"? And how can you trust that in place of one group of idiots you're not helping to usher in another?

We have a rare opportunity to break the backs of the Democrat Party and we must take advantage of it.

Without the Democrats the Republicans will become just as arrogant.

Bowles the best qualified? Surely you jest. Chief of staff for an impeached president! A conveyor of Clinton's lies! A visible and forceful voice for the largest tax increase in history! A stock fund director that cost investors millions of dollars! The champion of the working people? His wife's CEO of an old line family business in the carolinas and they just closed a plant laying off 350 workers and moved their jobs to mexico!

Other than his daddy being a politician, what great qualifications do you champion?

Your balance is a cop out.

No, it's a two party system. You can take that to the bank. And the party in the majority sets the agenda and you can bank on that also. You can also bank on the fact that the Democrat Party is thoroughly corrupt and truly evil (not just a word game). And finally, you can bank on the fact that we on Free Republic are determined to remove as many RATs as possible. The rest of you can play your silly words games and blow the smoke from your pipe dreams, but all you are doing is making yourselves look foolish. IMHO
