There are still (since 02/99) those who simply don't get it. Those that continue to believe that FR is partisan; that its aims are partisan victory.
No its amazing that after thousands of years of human politic that there are those who refuse to understand and accept the realities of the systems.
If your goal is consergvative ideology, come election time you vote for who can better represent your ideals of a candidate with an honest chance of winning of those available.. sitting out, or voting for a candidate that has no chance of winning, leaves you high and dry.... That’s just how it works.
I have yet to find a PEROT voter that felt like the really got what they were voting for.... remember that.
