Why most of us should probably vote third party

[Tsing Tao]

Quote from RCG Trader:

See, I live in Illinois. I keep taking these tests here in the basement. I keep track of who takes these tests down here. And NONE, not ONE of us would vote for an establishment candidate.

Look, at this late date, I feel that the hard right here is not as hard as they make themselves out to be. I think we all come down here pissed. I think that we would be very much like the First congress. We love this nation, and we must hash out how we will go forward. But that was then, this is now.

We all know our country has been sold out, either way.

I was just amazed that msnbc let Larry actually say this. Now, Chris Matthews shot him down the very next hour, but still, I was impressed they even let this on the air.

No arguments in any of this. I will say, however, that I think you continue to overstate how hard the right is here. Glad to see that you might be beginning to relax on this somewhat.

Quote from Tsing Tao:

This was also a fantastic response to Rush, and very accurately quoted (Biblically speaking). But it also begs the question of what O'Donnell does with his money? He advocates a progressive tax structure. Does he donate more than he is taxed to the Treasury? If not, why not? Words are cheap. Speeches like this are brilliant and do an excellent job of getting us to agree. But if the speaker doesn't lead by example, then how is he better than the one he is criticizing?

Fair enuf.

Quote from Max E. Pad:

Here is mine, Larry actually challenges Tagg Romney to a fight. Got to love how he adds to the boston accent to sound tough, frigging guy is a loon who is clearly mentally unstable, fits in well with the rest of the clowns at MSNBC, and the rest of the democratic party as well.

Yeah, this one was petty and juvenile.

It's getting late, Ivan, and this election matters for many. No, most here are not nutjob righties. They say stuff, like Luke. And then post political test saying they are for Gary Johnson. Did you realize that Gary Johnson comes up in the top two for almost all of us? If we are lefties, Jill Stein will come up number one. The righties are not yet clear. You should really check this stuff out.

These guys say shit to provoke a response, but when a metric is involved, we find ourselves to be brothers. That would be boring tho, so fukk those damned right wing bastards.

In the end, our enemy will not be each other, and, odd as this may be, that is what scares me the most.

I failed to mention that I like that video so much because I live in one of the Blue Wall states. My state will never be in play. I have seen a single ad on TV. I have a friend who lives in another state that is not in play.

Makes me question the whole system.

Most of us are for small government, mostly dictated by STATE laws and libertarian (read, no government involvement) social decisions. A few folks like Ricter and AK are Keynsians that believe debt doesn't matter, and that allows spending like lunatics. The rest of us realize the bill comes due at the end of the party, and that right now, we can't pay it.

I might consider voting 3rd party if I didn't live in Florida. My vote matters here.

So, Tsing, I guess you will be voting for the poking out of an eye.
