If we would stop letting the media pick our candidates for us and learn to think for ourselves, we wouldn't have this problem.

But like good little lemmings, we'll follow in lock step and vote for whatever candidate the media props up for us. Then we'll whine and threaten to either sit home or vote for a third party candidate and in either case that is the same thing as pulling the lever for Obama.

In the end Republican voters will put Obama back in office and have no one to blame for it but themselves. So go ahead, stay home...vote for that third party candidate! You might as well just switch parties and send the DNC a big fat donation, because in the end your supporting them anyway.

The democrats aren’t the only plantation owners in town.

Doesn’t matter. If it’s down to Romney vs. Obama in the general election, it makes no effective difference which one of them wins. Both of them are phony puppet candidates who will lead the country in the same direction at the same rate—one of them will appear more palatable to Democrats, the other more palatable to Republicans.

I’ll do my part to conscientiously abstain from propping up the illusion of choice and perpetuate the shuffle game.

feel better now ???

get over yourself and your FEAR of the boogeyman...

*if* a representative doesnt show up worthy of voting FOR, then the blame doesnt fall on the citizenry that had a *choice* between piss and vinegar...it lies squarely on the statist gubmint and the media lackeys that have driven the citizen legislator into extinction...

as it stands, the only difference between 'R' and 'D' is that one wants to pretend to be fiscally responsible...

last cycle, i had one name on the ballot to 'choose' from...that wasnt/isnt representation...

Speak for yourself. Just because I may prefer Bachman over whoever your choice is doesn't mean I can't think for myself.

You sound a lot like those liberals who keep lamenting that conservative voters don't vote in their best interests. That's bull as well.
