that's a matter of perspective. you say third parties "stole" enough R votes to tip the scales in D's favor, I say enough people woke up, saw the R's schtik about small government, lower taxes, lower spending, etc. as just that, schtik, and decided to vote their conscience. Too bad most of them let their emotions be played to stick to their consciences. Allowing the lies to continue by voting for the lesser of two evils (which, btw, is still an evil) out of fear that "the other side" might win is shortsighted and bad for this country. Look at the rights that have been stomped on in the name of communism, drugs, and now terrorism, all while government grows, spending skyrockets, and the documents that define us as a nation are ignored by those chosen to represent us. Is this really OK with you?
Listen, THEY'RE PLAYING WITH YOUR EMOTIONS!! BOTH R'S AND D'S ARE GUILTY. They're keeping you afraid enough to think that you NEED their PROTECTION and are more concerned about being SAFE than being FREE. I'm sorry, but Im seeing America dying a bit more every day, and I cannot in good conscience vote for the perpetrators. That means my vote goes to a third party. The LP happens to suit me best. It's really the only way these shenegans will stop, enough people who are, above all else, sick of the shenanegans in Washington voting their consciences. It's happening, too. Gonna be a bunch of new L's in office soon.
If you don't learn from history you are doomed to repeat it.
now that's just funny coming from someone who voted for bushie.
