I thought that we already had a third party birthed since the last election...the Tea Party! Now all we need to do is cut the ridiculous umbilical cord to seperate further from the GOP. :cool:

I've accepted that I won't outlive the problem. It'll be up to coming generations to solve...in between complaining about that *#+&!@#?^ generation that acted so selfishly, stupidly and irresponsibly and screwed up their lives so badly.

If someone would organize a coup d'�tat that looked like it had a chance of success, I'd be willing to listen. I'm not so sure that King James influence on the lives of those that came over on the Mayflower will turn out to be a whole lot worse than what's likely to happen as the result of what our "representatives" have done and are doing.

Short of that, maybe a tea party insurrection? Oh, I forgot, we have a bunch that call themselves that now. But all they seem to do is posture and pontificate. All talk and no action. Doesn't appear to be much hope from that bunch.

VK despite some differences I believe most involved in the political threads are tired of ineffective, do-nothing,I am entitled to more perk politician. so you never vote for an incumbent takes on more and more meaning each time I read it. It certainly is the only way we can get term limits

VK: Do what I did for years and I encourage other to do.

Vote 3rd party - wait and hear me out.

Find a candidate you like, no matter how "fringe" and vote for him or her. Encourage others to the same.

Imagine, for a moment, what would happen if all the people who didn't like the GOP or Democrat candidate did that. We have 50% non-voting in this country right now. For the most part, those who DO vote split it 50-50 plus or minus a couple percentage points. But what if the next election looked like this:

Obama: 25%
GOP Candidate: 25%
Hundreds of 3rd party candidates: 50%

*THAT* would be a wake-up call to Washington and MAYBE we could at least get a viable THIRD party going here.

Right now, people say they don't vote for their person because they have no chance of winning - well, winning isn't everything.. If you don't vote, your voice is SILENT.

a vote for a third-party for Barack Hussein Obama, because of the financial crisis.

Don't fall for that line.
