No...a third party vote is a vote for a third party candidate.
It is a vote of no confidence in the two major parties that have run up fifteen trillion in debt. Frankly, I have no confidence in a Romney administration doing anything other than more of the same.
Your old boat is sinking and another boat, albeit just as old as your sinking boat, comes along to offer help. Do you refuse out of fear that this boat too will sink, or take a chance that the second boat will get you to shore. A vote for a third party candidate ensures an Obama victory. I know what that means for this country. I would rather take my chances with a Romney presidency.
