Yep, it's time to stop the BS, and get united behind Romney-Ryan or prepare to to stock up some mustard for those S##t sandwiches.

I think he meant that Romney is also a #### sandwich.

So now we have the choice of two #### sandwhichs but like you said one has mustard and one doesn't. And that mustand is either going to make it bitter and hard to swallow or cover up the taste of #### depending on your perspective.

But any way you look at it the country is probably not going to come out of where it is right now regardless of which #### sandwhich we choose to eat. May as well be a #### sandwhich with a side of "R" than a side of "D" either way it is still a #### sandwhich we are going to have to eat regardless of the side.

Until we can stop the "third-party vote is throwing away your vote" mentality...I don't see the above situation rectifying itself, any time in the future.

Then the picture would be three piles of politicians.

They're there. Look closely. The third pile is between the other two. It's just real small.

Razz hit a homerun here. The Republicans are on trial. If they dont do what they have said they will do, there will be a another party in 2016. The Demorats have already committed suicide with real people in this country. The Republicans are on life support. If the Repubs dont straighten up (...and there is a good chance they wont. Watch the infighting now. ....), a new conservative party will rise and what's left of the demorats and the statist republicans with morph into a "New Demorat" party.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. This line is a self-fulfilled prophecy.

The two party system is so engrained in our culture that merely speaking about another political party sets up the conversation for tin foil hat allegations.

Nope! Lesson learned from Perot. Reality sucks!

So you voted for Perot and he didn't win. If Romney doesn't win in November, are you going to stop voting republican?

Listen, I'm not trying to convince YOU of anything. What I'm stating is that until the idea of a third party breaks into the pop-culture media machine (and trust me, it has not, ever) we will be stuck with two parties that merely pretend to oppose each other.

For a fun activity, research presidential voting records on NATO, dating back to Reagan.

Reality is that we are stuck with a two-party system. If a viable third-party would to arise it would be a centrist party, because that's where a majority of people are positioned. The majority of eligible voters do not vote, so it's never going to happen.

EDIT: It's how the minorities, (not racially speaking), keep the majority in check when you think about it.

If anyone with half of a brain that watched the last couple of nights clearly delineating the differences between the commie and his destructive policies and the Romney/Ryan plans of resurrecting American exceptionalism, then there can be no question as to who we have to unify behind in this election. Talk all you want to about third parties, but the countdown to saving America as we've always known is now, not 2016 or anytime thereafter. The demise of America is imminent, and sticking your head in the sand and wishing for a third party while the clock is one minute till destruction is not getting done what needs to be done at this moment of clear and present danger our country faces. Uniting behind Romney-Ryan is the only hope we have for saving America. The clock is ticking down.

I agree 100%. A significant part of the population didn't watch. Then, there's the libtard media with their "take". Just look at the attacks on Eastwood. I'm pretty convinced that Romney will make a much better president. It's just not going to be an easy win. Too much BS in the way.

+3 now???

I watched a little bit of the convention on NPT and CNN, (at the time Fox wasn't covering it). NPT had some lib on there running his mouth about everything that was said in real time, so we turned to CNN. The CNN correspondent asked one of the conventioneers if they thought it was a good idea to have the convention when Issac was making landfall and Americans were in danger. WTH!!?? With news sources like this it's no wonder most of the sheep in this country are led astray.

I think you have your tenses wrong. The Republic is already dead, she just ain't stopped moving yet. Romney and Ryan, best case scenario, will only delay the inevitable a few years. I say burn it down now on the hope that something worthwhile can be rebuilt for my daughter, or her children. Otherwise, she is going to be living in a really big banana republic.

+4, I think

America can't afford and may not withstand (financially and Constitutionally) an obama second term. Romney was not my first choice as a nominee, but it's time to vote for the direction of this country not a man. While I may not agree with everything Romney has supported in the past, his views of America are vastly different than Obama's. We have a much bigger problem here than normal. America is in a crossroads, and obama will win if a bunch of people go to the polls with blinders on and vote third party.

Burn it down now? No thanks. I'll keep my America, thank you!

I disagree that Romney and Ryan will only delay the inevitable.

You'll keep her, eh? Have you taken an honest look lately at what she has become? Your statement makes me think of a father looking at his junkie prostitute daughter and saying "it's just a phase, she'll grow out of it."

Yes, I have taken an honest look lately at what She has become. Our current president is wrecking Her, and that is why he needs to be fired from his job. HE said he wanted to "Fundamentaly change America", and this country is worse now than it was 4 years ago. To answer your question... YES, I will keep Her. I just hope we can change presidents in November.

Please explain how they are substantially different? According to their own words they are a couple of Fabian Socialist peas in a pod.

Did you not watch the last couple of nights where you were painted a picture or pictures delineating the differences between the commies and Romney/Ryan. It cannot be any more clear that there are huge differences between the commie and Romney, but we know half of the country doesn't know those differences including many on this forum that won't man up and say they are actually Democrats, and are going to vote for the commie again. Those that vote for the commie actually makes themselves commies, but just don't know it or understand what they've become.
