The Dems discovered that the key to their victory is to have some spoiler third party candidates run to syphon enough votes away from the Republicans to allow the Dems to win.

And it seems to work almost every time, because unfortunately many "conservatives" are so gullible and don't see the forest for the trees and realize that the only result of voting for third party candidate is to help the Dems win...

A folksy, mild-mannered Libertarian who delivers pizza??

A lowly peasant...He'd never fit in to the club...They should have him investigated by the cops and IRS and raid his home....Even if they don't find anything, it will discredit the hell out of him. Get the media to past his mug shot all over...

[Old Yeller]

You would think that the Demwits would be content with their successful voter fraud schemes.

Democrats know this works. Ross Perot got 19% of the vote and gave us the curse of the Clintons, which we will be suffering in 2016 once again.

I agree, we never would’ve had that evil nero clinton or whats about to follow him,

but look who the GOP put in place, its always some NWO drone like a mccain, dole or bush spawn etc.,

there really is no choice except in the house and senate and that is falling fast into the same mold,

[Nifster]

well said

and oh boy I hope you have your flame suit on because there are some here who will be less than kind

That's OK; the Republican Party has forgotten to have a message, or stand for something, so they're pretty much irrelevant now.

[JohnBrowdie]

conservatives jumping in to blame republicans for the existence of libertarians in 3 .. 2 .. 1 ...

[JohnBrowdie]

I blame the “smart kids” in the research triangle for the popularity of libertarians in NC.

[JacksonCalhoun]

Some ill-qualified losertarians who support abortion and homo “marriage” are certainly not the cure for our ills. Talk about a wasted vote.

[JSDude1]

No, it’s because the “take your party or go home” or “hate evangelical Christian” or “defeatist crowd-some of what we have here on FR, unfortunately” would rather vote 3rd party that is “PURE” than to see that their votes just contribute to letting commies into power!

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I suspect that is the idea ... to punish Republicans for their apostasies.

[elcid1970]

Third party, spoiler candidates, split ticket, mean Democrat victory about 95% of the time that they appear on the ballot.

Yes, John Anderson tried & failed to derail Reagan in 1980. But Ross Perot succeeded in 1992 against GHW Bush.

Bulls**t! This guy nailed it.

Even if Haugh loses, he has a message to Democrats and Republicans eager to court disgruntled constituents: "We're becoming the swing vote that you have to motivate to get to the polls."

The GOP must EARN the respect and the votes of the American people. If they don't, then, people have every right to vote for someone else. Don't blame the Third Party Candidates, blame Mitch McConnell and Karl Rove for using their power and money to force RINO candidates down out throats and onto the ballot. We DO NOT owe our votes to some a**hole because he has an "R" behind his name. Now, you have a nice day.

[JRandomFreeper]

Do you feel like the Republican party is ENTITLED to conservative votes?

The RNC, GOPe, NCGOP scum all need to be held accountable after this election.

The big buck consultants that bleed the Tillis campaign dry should be parking cars at queer night clubs!
