That's my point. Half of that freak show is going to end up in Group 2, and the other half in Group 4. That's why I'm aiming to be in Group 3. Their vote may count as much as mine, but if I end up in their category, I'm doubling the value of their vote, rather than offsetting it.Quote:

fwiw, there's no time for your 'plan' to work itself out, time's up. There are WAY too many people invested in/receiving benefits from either side of the beast system (and they are NOT giving up what they're emotionally involved in - PERIOD) for there EVER to be anything like you envision. You're only kidding yourself.
*I was there in the very beginning with Perot (as close as one could get to the top of the PPC), and in the very beginning Perot was *intent* on launching a 3rd party via real grassroots (which ultimately became the Reform Party) - and as only one example, due to the grassroots getting Perot on the ballad in Texas, the two whore parties passed legislation in the Texas Lege which substantially raised the bar for someone to get on the ballot via the petition process, i.e. as a 3rd party candidate.
Next you will be expecting me to come in your bus.Quote:

Ive said this here a MILLION times:
If your elected officials were going to do their only job of protecting the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic then why do you care WHO is in office? Dem/Repub, male/female, old/young, red hair/brown hair would make NO DIFFERENCE if they actually did their job.
Do we see the scam yet?
Property taxes I presume?Quote:

I statrted a little argument with Steve Goddard, a well known AGW skeptic. Our discussion was degrading into an insult fest, so I invited him over here. I don't know if he will come. Here is our discussion up to this posting:

I thought you truthers were supposed to stick to correcting true statements about Obama (with spin), not creating new lies about Romney.

Same as 2008: The few oligarchs who control the 2 parties and pick our candidates for us picked two candidates who have a potential constitutional conflict. Granted if the supreme court would hear a case or two these issues may be settled, but they won’t here it.
In 2008, both Obama and McCain had potential natural born citizen issues (recall McCain got a “statement” from the senate that his situation was not an issue).
Funny that in 2012 it comes around again (Mitt’s father may not have been a citizen when Mitt was born, making natural born citizen status questionable).
It could be a case of the oligarchs wanting both potential dictators to have a weakness that can be manipulated if required to “convince” them of their position on any given issue.

Romney is a facist that stole the nomination. The entire convention was scripted, even to the point that the teleprompter scrolled “the ayes have it” before Boehner responded, etc. Look how the state conventions were handled, and the convenient last minute rules changes. They were so scared of Ron Paul, that they exposed their corruption for all to see. Are you blind? Use the same skepticism you use for climate change and apply it to politics.

I do understand your argument by the way (reject Mitty, support Obama by default). But you know what?
Obama =~ Mitt
In terms of the important things (like are we supporting America or Israel, the Fed, NDAA and police staste, etc.), there is not real difference.- http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/d36b3bc...=identicon&r=G stevengoddard says:

Governor Romney is not a fascist nor did he “steal” the nomination. He received both the largest number of votes during the campaign and the largest number of delegates. As for Ron Paul, he lost because he was unable to build support beyond the his narrow but passionate base. One needs broad support to have a chance to win the nomination. Republican voters were looking for a candidate whom they believed offered the combination of ideas, practical experience, leadership, and integrity to make an effective President. In 2012, Gov. Romney was able to make a successful case on those attributes to enough Republican voters to gain the nomination. When one’s preferred candidate loses, one need not automatically assume that somehow the race was “stolen.” Even President Reagan, who enjoys enormous affection among Republicans and Conservatives, did not win all his elections (e.g., 1976 primary). Reagan’s supporters did not claim that the election was “stolen.” They celebrated the competitive finish to the race and built a foundation for electoral success in 1980.

Paul won the Iowa caucus. We heard Mitt did, then suddenly Santorum. Well the truth is Paul did. Variations of this weer repeated in other states. Plus, the rule was that if teh candidate carried 5 states, he would be up for nomination. This is the rule the delegates and caucus/primary voters voted under. Just before the convention, the Republican [fascist] party changed the rule to 8 states. They tried for 10 states, but this was defeated.
The truth is it is the parties that are the issue. A very few individuals get to decide for the only two viable parties (republicrat and demipublican) who we all get to vote for, and it is very clear how devious, corrupt, and fascist they are. This story will be told in the coming weeks and many (who put the good of the country over their narrow self interests, and have the open mind to see the evidence) will see this as a fact.
The truth is that we are an oligarchy, and their power has been exposed thanks to Paul.

We could go at this ad infinitum, but it would be counter-productive. I appreciate your work on climate science, but we need to agree to disagree on this, unless you want to come over to my forum to discuss it (we have a few threads going).- JohnQ says:

And frankly, I don’t care, nor do I expect any substantive difference whether Obama or Romney are elected. Election after election, the few people with strings to the two parties give us crap candidates to vote for who represent not us, but the oligarchs. If it makes you sleep better at night, go ahead and vote for Mitt.- JohnQ says:

This is a prime example of how controlling the media allows them to control the people. It wouldn't matter if 80% of the population supported RP. As long as they can keep us from seeing each other they win. They can convince each of us that we are alone and cannot make any difference on our own. So we don't try. No one wants to stick his neck out if he can be convince that no one will follow his lead.Quote:

They look at me as if we are the only two people in the country who like RP and I'm crazy for wasting my vote while they do the "responsible" thing and vote for frothy.
Steve Goddard [pseudonym perhaps], an otherwise intelligent person is in that position.Quote:
