I was listening to him today on the Andrew Wilcow show. I have been very disappointed in the Republican response to Kagen, the financial reform bill, and cap and trade. Why they are so willing to compromise with a bunch of socialists that want to trample over our rights I can't figure out. The only answer I can come up with is that they're all in it together to a certain degree and we're being played over and over again. None of them really want to give up their power. Both groups move us towards tyranny. The only difference between the parties is that Republicans move slower towards tyranny. They all need to go if you want my honest opinion.
BINGO! And a multi-trillion dollar budget gives them a lot of power too.
JC is right on the money. The real R-vs-D con game is the attempt by Republicans to make us believe they're trying to move the ball toward the *other* goal line, not the same one the Democrats are moving toward.
(To this day I wish that *just once* when Lucy pulled the ball away, Charlie Brown would kick her right in the head!)
I've been advocating third parties for years and have voted for third party candidates. I don't consider voting for a third party as "throwing my vote away", I consider it as a vote of conscience. I despise people who say they voted for "the lesser of two evils". More...or... less...evil is still evil.

I'm with you ... I think the only "wasted vote" is the one cast for someone you don't really like. The "lesser evil" is still EVIL. Plus, it sends the wrong market signal. It says you support the progressive (even though you only voted for him because of the 'R' on his lapel). Therefore, you wasted your vote by sending a signal you didn't want to send. Vote for who you want, not for the "team."
