I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. It’s to late to do anything about our two party system before the election. But.....we can take the next four years and revamp the system. Get Obama out of office, change the Congress to be what we want and then pick someone for President that truly represents the interests of this country.

Along with that, get rid of communism as best we can. It was set back over 60 years by McCarthy, it can be done again. If that’s what we want. If not, we’ll get what we ask for.....or demand.

I think you've got that wrong. We ALREADY HAVE a government that "truly represents the interests of this country"; i.e., we have the government we want and deserve.

By and large, we would rather have a government that will give us things rather than just protect our liberties (because liberty comes with personal responsibility, and nobody wants that).

Even many people who call themselves "conservative" are caught up in this conflict of interest. For example: conservatives generally support the personal liberty to smoke cigarettes or drink to excess. However, how many of these protectors of liberty would be willing to pay out of their own pocket for the inevitable health consequences of this behavior (or pay for special insurance that accurately reflect these costs)?

You make a valid argument. But since I am stuck between a rock and a hard place and I would love not tot be in the situation. I can not vote for a bad republican.

Thus, I have a major problem with electing Romney. I wish it were easier to just defeat Obama and ensure the right work is done to fix the country, but it isn’t that simple.

I hedged my bets on voting 3rd party for Virgil Goode or Laurie Roth if she is able to get on a national ballot or even Gary Johnson if neither of those two appear. But I have full faith Virgil Goode will appear on the ballot and thus I willl be voting for him.

The big problem is the tea party and conservatives are stuck between two fights.

Fighting the establishment and fighting the Statist Democrats. It means having too many different opinions on what to do when a bad republican is nominated for president against a bad democrat.

You have people who agreed with the late Andrew Breitbart that taking on the left was the number one goal and that helping defeat them was the main obstacle to fixing America. So ending Obama’s presidency is the right way to go.

Then you have those like Alan Keyes or Michael Savage and to an extent Glenn Beck who spoke about the corruption of the republican party and progressivism in both parties and why it is not a adequate opposition to the left.

Then you have the Mark Levin types who opposes Romney, but were hoping to defeat the rinos at the ballot box and ensure a good nominee, but now that it failed they have no choice but support Romney because they have to kick out Obama.

And then you have libertarian types who are prone to attack both party systems as a form of one party government and a new world order created to rule the country over all others with no real options to elect a constitutional government as envisioned by the founders.

Then you have people like a one, Dr. James Manning, who feel the enemy within is the greatest enemy. And attack the tea party as having been co-opted by the establishment and rino GOP. They attack Fox News because it has not embraced every issue that could be used against Obama and for dumping on us Romney who is equally bad. His perspective is that if one can’t truthfully speak their mind because the GOP and some in the tea party censor him then what good is it. So he has been actively attacking the Bill O’Reilly’s for false reporting and Sean Hannity for embracing the establishment. And for Fox News not taking on the Birther issue.

So right now it seems that not everyone is exactly lock step on what to do. But for me I oppose Romney and Obama equally. And realize the two party system is broke along with the mass media. Therefore for me I can’t come to voting for either party and will vote for another candidate, namely Virgil Goode.

I do agree that getting rid of Obama should be the number one priority. But the plan was not to nominate Obama lite. Thus I just can’t come to voting for him it would be a bd mistake to do so on my conscience after all I know about him.

It was set back over 60 years by McCarthy,

One might argue that it was set forward 60 years, we now have 80 Black Caucus members that communists or at least recognized Socialists. We have more Communists in Hollywood than we ever did. If we had gained anything then the Venona papers would have been big news, they weren't. Those declassified KGB papers by the way, proved McCarthy was absolutely correct.
