“Third party, IMO, will just do what voting for Perot did.”
True. But, what can it hurt with the candidates we have to choose from? You don’t really think any of them can beat the beast or the multi-national guy, do you?
Really, there is nothing (left) to lose.
We’re actually in the unthinkable situation where we MUST stop the GOP nominee from winning to save the party. I feel like a character at the end of a ‘SAW’ movie with what’s unfolded here. The handwriting was on the wall the moment Fred finished 3rd in SC. We didn’t want to accept it and some transferred their hope to Mitt, but that was an empty vessel in which to place their desperate hope. Mitt is no better than the rest of the jokers who are running. But now, we’re in a position where the nominee is going to be so bad that the only choice is to actively work against him...it’s so sad, considering the pathetic lines of attack that they used against Fred.
He ‘just didn’t have the fire in the belly’, he ‘looked too old’, he didn’t wear a blue tie instead of a red tie. His suit was crooked. Those were the criticisms and this is what we ended up with.
I blame a lot of people, both in the conservative media and here at FR. A lot of people who tried and succeeded in tearing down Fred to benefit an inferior candidate like Romney, McCain, Huckabee. A number of the Hunter supporters deserve blame too. I blame Fred for a few mistakes too, but the lion’s share of the blame goes to guys like Hewitt, a few Freepers and even Rush and Sean. They all played this very badly and now the country will pay the price.
