Of course, that Congress I mentioned couldn't have enough GOP members to override his veto of any attempt to change or repeal Obamacare, either. Yep, anybody but Obama for me.

Wish I could agree with you Roy but based upon their recent history Republicans are every bit as bad as the Democrats they claim to oppose.

Both parties are hopelessly broken and I won't reward either with a vote.

Having effectively won the GOP nomination, Romney will move to the center because neither a conservative nor a liberal can win the presidential election. Only a centrist can win it.

I think you may have just told me why Harry Reid was re-elected in 2010 even though most Nevadans had to know what he is about. Enough good people stayed away and he got back in. Of course, I don't know who counted the votes either.

Staying away from that position with your vote can only give Obama nearer a majority in your state.

Which essentially means we as a nation will continue our slide into oblivion.

Reid was a sitting duck that was looking to be easily defeated,..until that extreme right tea party nutcase Angle became the nomination. She was a huge gift with a big bow on top for Reid and the democrats

Sure Romney at least tries, but he's such an elitist pompous-ass he has no idea what it's like to be an average american, and it shines through clear as day.

Reid won for a variety of reasons. Most of which had to do with his having corrupted the popular vote while strong arming the union pogues in Las Vegas and Reno into supporting him. He was by no means a popular candidate in rural Nevada and wisely chooses to rarely show his corrupt face here.

I said nothing about staying away from the polls. I simply said I won't vote for another corrupt hack regardless of the letter following their name.

I'm well aware of your dislike for third parties but firmly believe a third party that is actually committed to representing the wishes of it's voters is the only chance we have at reminding the corrupt politicians of both mainstream parties who they work for.

We will have to agree to disagree about the benefits vs detriments of adding another party to the political system.
