This is silly.

I voted for Obama because 3rd parties won't win and the crazy uber-religious crackpots just aren't going to cut it in office...

If Ron Paul was the GOP candidate I would have voted Republican.

In the last election had McCain NOT picked Palin, I would have voted Republican.

So the only choice is not voting, voting Dem or voting 3rd party which was essentially the same as voting Dem...

Republicans need to put their foot down on the extremists and then the moderates and even some in the Dem party will come back in droves.

Oh and it wouldn't hurt to lose the subtle, code word bigotry.

isn't this sorta like saying, I would vote Democrat again if they would just drop the peace and freedom section of the party? No one group of segment represents the party.

the funny thing is,it was the Democrats who continue to push social issues,not conservatives. Did Romney ever talk about abortion and gay marriage?

I would vote for Democrats if they stood for freedom, weren't bigots, cared about workers, cared about the environment and were not authoritarian.

In other words, neither party is going to care one bit about the average American currently.... time to wake up people
