Sorry but I don't waste my vote. I vote for who I want in office even if it is a Third Party Candidate.
How many third party candidates are going to supposedly gain those 2010 seats Blaine? I really do commend you for going alternative, choosing who you
want, not just between the two parties, my issue is that this 2010 tea party movement doesnt see it that way. We have folks now on the rightwing
gettin' ready to rally for 2010 states elections, the issue is these folks are steadfast on the democrats. These folks dont quiet frankly care about
the republicans getting those seats, and to be frank for the most part are rallying republican senators.
My issue here, and this is the consensus among the vast majority of conservative ATSers, it that theres this constant assurance that this movement is
against the the two party system, and yet we folks howling at only one party? How does that work? You say your for third party blaine, do you suppose
thats the consensus of that OP of yours? Do you think thats the consensus of those tea party protestors? It seems to me this as all to do about the
Dems, and while I fully understand your ideological differences, I dont buy the talk of supporting "third parties" for 2010.
There are many here on ATS like to reassure everybody that these rallies are about the anti-two party system, but when we get down to the arguments,
its about one party, the Democrats. Folks were less concerned about the two party "threat" during the republican party and quiet frankly would
promote the republicans to get in if it go the best of the Dems. This has nothing to do with third party promotions, if it did, there would be less
talk about those pesky dems and more talk about their favour third party candidates, and I see little of that.
Your OP is a clear example of this rally from the rightwing. This anti-re democrat stance, but this reluctance to be upfront about the secret support
for the republican party, and this is what this really is. If this movement was about going alternative, in your disagreement with both parties, your
OP would be promoting third parties with pictures and references of both the R's and the D's as the ones you thing should go. Instead its just Dems,
and liberals and thats it.
Most people waste their vote in the mistaken idea that they have to vote for one of the big two.
And how are you helping Blaine? Your OP only talks about the big bad dems and voting them out? Infact the vast majority of anger here, 90% is towards
dems. Folks like to say they are for neither party, but it doesnt take much to realise that folks are prepared to make way for the republicans just to
be closer to their prefferred ideological views, regardless of "the big two" or the "NWO" and so forth. Theres alot of talk about the big bad two
party system, and yet all Im hearing are Dems.
Maybe folks should make these rallies center around third parties and not allow republican hacks to walk with them, not this half witted anti-democrat
movement that claims to be anti-two party but is nothing of the sort.
The majority of voters are now Independents
Majority of folks will claim they are independents but behind the voting polls they will go different I assure you. Maybe you'll feel alittle better
with a republican majority if that does happen come 2010, but that certainly isnt going to solve the issue of the two dominant parties.
Blaine you claim to be third parties, but this movement has been hijacked by republican hacks for months along with the republican mouthpieced media
outlet we call fox. You are more than welcome to tell me about your frustrations and differences with the Dems and liberals, but dont tell me this is
a third party movement, because from where I can see it, sounds to be like its an anti-liberal democrat movement. Nothing of the sort of a third party
promotion.
