Third party candidates can and do win local elections, even for federal office. They do not, however, ever win Presidential elections. That is a simple statement of fact. That means that you must choose between the two major parties, and I will never choose a Democrat.

Now, in my State of Kansas, the Democrat candidate stands little chance of winning. So, a Conservative could conceivably cast a protest vote for a third party candidate without running much of a risk of helping the Democrat. But, its a risky game that would have to be played with great care.

I am quite serious about my loathing for Democrats. I would also love to see liberals expunged from the GOP, but I won’t do anything that helps Obama. I’ll let the Freepers for Obama do that all by themselves.

President Lincoln would disagree with your contention that 3rd parties do not win the POTUS elections....
