My attitude is reality - because of the electoral college and a 2 party system that controls debates and makes election law only a huge fluke could get a 3rd party candidate in office. Further, unless the person is a real star, like Mr. Nader or Mr. Perot, they'll not even get enough votes to earn a mention in a news story. Voting for someone with no chance to become a lawmaker is a waste of time; they've no congressional support, no money, no debates, and therefore no chance to change anything. It's like a football team that's down 40 to 0 in the last minute of the game; they throw the Hail Mary, but does it really matter? No, because it won't change anything so why do it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:136116 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
