There is not independent party candidate that is viable; the DNC and GOP appoint their representative for the National Election. We need to get behind the local level politics and work to change who trickles upward Nationally. At this point in time, the GOP has given us another McCain type candidate who does not garner passionate support from true conservatives, so now we settel for relection.... As distasteful as it may be, at least we have a better (read better chance) chance of keeping our Country resembling something we recognize with the person banned from support on FR than with re-electing the incumbent. After 13 or so years at FR, I never thought I would see the day that zotting would define conservatives, or pragmatic Tea Party folks who given two choices for president would choose the GOP candidate. We really need to quit whinning and start at grass roots level like the guy we hate here (Romeny)who started 20-years ago building for this election. Obama will destroy any hopes we at FR have for sure.
Those are your fears and you must live by them. I don’t share your fears. I refuse to compromise with evil to advance the illusion that I am somehow doing something good.
You don't remember the Bush Purges?
