The Democrat Party is beyond corrupt, It's also evil.
And what is this evil that triumphs when good men do nothing? What are we really talking about here and is it worth fighting for? Is it worth turning our heads and allowing evil to continue on while we do nothing? (and I count voting for a third party candidate when knowing that he has absolutely no chance of defeating the Democrat, and worse, actually planning and hoping to knock out the Republican candidate who otherwise might have defeated the Democrat, as doing nothing).
Corruption is accepting campaign cash from the Chinese in exchange for military hardware. Corruption is accepting campaign cash as bribes from Indonesian power brokers, from Buddhist Monks, from corrupt corporate moguls. Corruption is defined by the myriad criminal acts and practices of the Clintons and the Gores and their corrupt Democrat minions.
Corruption is the land grabs, the power grabs, the gun grabs, the bribery, the shady deals, the high crimes and treason. Corruption is the theft of campaign dollars through forced labor union deductions. Corruption is the systematic indoctrination of several generations of our youth with socialist dogma via government school systems. Corruption is the removal of God from public life and substituting in the evil homosexual/feminist agenda and the destruction of moral society. Corruption is lying to the public about global warming and the selling of the Kyoto treaty. Corruption is giving up our national sovereignty to the United Nations. Corruption is the abuses of office, obstruction of justice, lying, perjury and subornation of perjury.
The Democrat Party is thoroughly corrupt. There is no question about that, but it's way beyond corrupt. It's also evil.
Waco was evil. The killing of innocent men, women, children and babies is evil. Torturing them for weeks on end, gassing them, and then burning them alive is pure evil. This was perpetrated by a corrupt and evil Democrat Administration and covered-up by corrupt and evil Democrat Congressmen and Senators, many of whom you are saying should be allowed to remain in office even today.
And as bad as that is, it pales in comparison to the Democrat government sanctioned and funded wholesale slaughter of the most innocent life of all, the murder of innocent human life in the womb. This is evil. Pure evil. And this evilness is openly perpetrated by a thoroughly corrupt and evil Democrat Party. The same corrupt and evil Democrat Congress and Judiciary whom you are now saying deserve to remain in office.
IMHO, allowing these Democrats to remain in power is aiding and abetting the corruption and treason, and is acting as an accessory before and after the fact to the murderers of innocent human life. Is doing nothing and allowing this evil to triumph evil itself?
I love my country. I love the Constitution. I love life. I love God. I know that the Democrats hate my country, hate the Constitution, hate God and hate human life. I see that the only Party capable of blocking and defeating the evil Democrats is the Republican Party. I see that many races are so close that as little as a one percent siphon of conservative votes to a third party could be the difference between success and failure. I see allowing a Democrat to remain in power when it could have been prevented as a triumph of evil.

And when we look our Maker in the eyes come judgment day, and one of His questions is "why did I not do more to stop this evil?" (and to yet others, "why did he/she do absolutely nothing?"), we shall find no acceptable or truthful excuse because, in truth, we could all do more.
But for those who were too apathetic and selfish to have done nothing at all, I have no pity for them when their Maker's eyes pierce their guilty souls, for God knows best the harm their apathy has caused to many unborn babies, and countless others.
We do not live on this earth unto our selves or our selfish wants and desires. We are placed here for a reason and a purpose....and that, in the end, is what we shall be accountable for: "Have I followed my Father's commands?" And "what have I done to improve the world in which I live?"
Voting for the "lesser of two evils" is still casting a vote for evil.
Are you kidding? CJ defines the word "low".
All he's doing is establishing the new standard.
You have GOT to be kidding. Which 1% candidate really has 50.1% support?
A beaten Democrat party would divide into libertarian and socialist camps.
Then the political fight would be between a mainstream Republican party and those two.
That would be a much better situation for libertarian types than what they have now.
I am not a mind reader, so bear with me. Personally, I think Jim is refering to those who vote straight democrat tickets, no matter what the candidate's views are on any issue.
However, today's democrat is opposed to anything remotely suggested by a Republican, no matter if they happened to support the very same suggestion when a democrat held the presidency. Case in point, the overwhelming support of an attack on Saddam only four short years ago.
Another is liberal judges. I don't know about you, but I'm a little sick and tired of liberal judges ruling from the bench. They ignore laws on the books and interpert the law to suit their needs and desires.
I'd like to see some well qualified judges appointed who follow the law and not dismiss them because they followed it!
If voting my conscience instead of my fears lets me sleep at night, then that's what I'll do. If voting for a third party candidate splits the "conservative" vote and the Democrat sneaks by, then I've done nothing more than to see to it that the corrupt two-party system continues to hold the reigns of power, just like everybody else who voted for either a Republican or Democrat.
With regard to how I feel about voting for Republicans at this point, I'll paraphrase Jim Carrey's "Riddler" in "Batman and Robin" as "Two Face" prepares to blow out the brains of an unconscious Bruce Wayne:
Don't vote for him: if you do, he won't learn nothin'.
Third party candidates won't win until enough of them get elected in local or state positions. Only then will they begin to have serious clout.
Voting third party is like mastrubation. It feels good but it doesn't really accomplish anything meaningful.
