Third parties always lose and hand the elections to the RATs. It has never failed.

Part of the reason for this is because we are polarized into two parties, regardless of how they represent us. My reply was in an answer to just not voting any longer. I'd rather a third party gain strength that adheres to my political beliefs, than to support one that mollycoddles the party I disagree with, just to keep that party out of power.

With our RINOs caving in tonight, I have to ask, just who has the power in D.C.? We voted in Republicans, but the RATs still call the shots?

If Republicans won't act according to how we vote, then maybe it is time to lend support to those that will. Regardless, I don't see just not voting as a viable alternative. That is handing the opposition everything on a silver platter.
