"so, which 3rd place loser gets your wasted vote?"

Firstly, I consider "the lesser of two evils" (a manner of speech only) a wasted vote.

Secondly, if I don't see a third party with a well rounded agenda and not just a single issue to campaign upon, I will not vote for President, but, I will vote for other offices.

They are all real dems regardless of the D or R. The main diff is that the dems would slap us in the face all at once with their big government schemes while the Rs will stroke our faces with piece meal implementation of big government. kind of like putting us to sleep and when we wake up we say wha' happened"?

You seem to be ignoring my question about an electable conservative who could accomplish something, so I'll ask a different question.

Conceding your point that both parties are moving toward socialism, albeit the GOP is moving more slowly, aren't we better off at least going with the party that won't do it as quickly, rather than voting third party and thereby (inadvertently perhaps) aiding and abetting the faster move to socialism?
