That card is played out. Nobody's buying the BS no' mo'.

Yeah! Look at the success of recent third parties at the national level...Perot, Nader, Anderson, Wallace.

Damn the reality! Full speed ahead!!

Look at DC. Thats your reality.

[magglepuss]

so....you have a sarah palin or ted cruz 3rd party candidate, and Jeb. Who are you voting for?

Perot probably would have won, had he not dropped out the first time. This, despite the fact that he had the charisma of a wet piece of bread, had no party apparatus, came across as bat-*** crazy, had a vp candidate who acted like he shouldn't be driving, let alone being one heartbeat from the presidency (no disrespect intended towards the Admiral), and was going up against two parties which had far less internal divisions than they do now. Citing Perot's loss as evidence that 3rd parties have no chance is, at best, misleading.

Define "success".

I define it as defeating unconstitutional Amnesty Executive Orders.

I define it as overturning horrific health-care-destroying initiatives such as Obamacare.

I define it stopping the Petulant Tyrant from bypassing Congress (and the Senate) outright.

I define it as adherence to the Constitution.

I define it as the stopping of Executive-branch race-baiting in the effort to start a race war.

I define it as reining in an out-of-control EPA.

If you define it as "winning elections", then yes, I see your point.

However, I do not define "success" by that metric.
