You forgot the "Dommed. DOOMED" guys.
Voting for a third party is, to the contrary, the BEST choice at this point. Schwartzenegger should serve as a blazing example for you here.. for myself as well because I took your approach in giving him the thumbs up for the same cautious reasons everyone does. And what did I learn? Simple, voting for the guy that represents what I want is better than voting for the watered down fallback position. There were far better conservative choices in that race. Vote for crap, end up with crap. That is the bottom line. The GOP has proven it is crap. When your best argument is what would happen in a worst case scenario in trying to vote crap out of office.. you've already lost the debate. Sorry.
The Dems and the GOP have both outlived any worth they ever had. There may be some worthy people in Washington from both parties. But, the majority of them have no allegiance to America much less to it's citezenry.. not when they can do on Immigration and related issues what they have done - all over greed. Not money, greed. If you don't know the difference, you have a problem. You need a better argument than 'voting against us could be bad because someone else might get in who isn't us'. That is, rather, the point - neither the GOP nor the Dems should ever be entrusted with offices they have shown they can't be trusted in. Dems can't be trusted with defense. Republicans can't be trusted with Immigration, trade and the Economy. Which is worse? Both spell our utter ruin.
And this is America. Since when are you going to tell Americans what they can or can't do. This is a Can do society. The only thing any of you dyed in the wool GOPers have shown we can't do is make our party do what is in the interests of the American people instead of the interests of their favorite business buddies and their own personal greed. You've illustrated that we CAN'T trust either party.
Why in the name of H$LL would we elect anyone from either of them, then?!!!
And you'll have to do better than 'the devil you know' arguments. Because we're being carried off to hell in a basket doing that. Dem and Republican have become the political equivelant of voting for the head of the Communist
Soviet Party. If you don't think you can stomach one communist, another will do. In the end, they're both full of globalist traitors. Six of one, half dozen of the other.. Neither has any morals in predictable areas. I wouldn't keep a subordinate for fear of finding worse. I'd can his butt in hopes of doing better and keep doing so until I got a good one. But common sense seems to leave when there are agendas to protect. Screw your agendas. Third party is the way to clean out the traitors' nest up their short of war - which I think is inevitable at this point either way. Purging Washington of the bought and paid fors will send the monied interests into a frenzy. That's gonna mean war as much as keeping these traitors in place.
The end of either course is taking back America. So with all due respect, you can stuff your hyped up nonsense. It's the same crap we all hear every four years with the same results.
