It seems the Obamabots last stand is to try and persuade a Conservative lower tier wannabe, to be a 3rd party Independent.

They would love for the Conservative slant, to split the majority of the vote, this election cycle.


I got a deal for all those Progressive's yelling for a 3rd party candidate, serve up Hilary Clinton as a third party Independent.

never going to happen...She is a Democrat through and through plus she has said she isnt interested in doing anything political anymore: of course what one says and what one does can often be very different.

It's sad that our political process has devolved into strictly a game. No one supports anything anymore unless it helps their "team win." There's no such thing as any independent candidate "stealing votes." That's such a STUPID STUPID STUPID mindset I can't even begin to describe it. I voted for Ralph Nader in 2008 yet he didn't "steal" a vote for Obama, I wouldn't have voted for Obama without Nader on the ballot. I hate this mindset because it assumes everyone is either a Democrat or a Republican.

If Hillary Clinton, Jon Huntsman, Ron Paul, Ralph Nader, etc want to run as independents or or 3rd party candidates I say good, let them. The more the merrier. The more choices we have the more of a chance we have of selecting someone who represents the voter's values. Everyone should be able to vote for who they want without this insane mindset of "vote stealing." Vote for your values, vote for the candidate you like who represents your ideals and what you want in a leader. I'm tired of this stupid idea that we only have two crappy choices between tweedledee and tweedledum.

Hillary Clinton is a glorified housewife. She is barely more qualified than Barack Obama who is totally unqualified to run.
