What planet are you from? This is completely clueless.

Deficit reduction?

The "deficit" went down because:

Post Cold War defense spending went from 6.5% of GDP to below 3%. A good thing because the Cold War was won. Why are you crediting the rooster at dawn?

Revenue from the Democrat savings and loan disaster starting rolling into the treasury starting 1995.

Republicans demanded a reduction in capital gains rate. This led to the Algore invented internet to lead to a stock market boom. Also, since Algore invented the calender, business activity was stimulated per Y2K.

Vote 3rd party NOW, if you want smaller government, less taxes and more Freedom in 20 years...

Real World

1)Obama's heartbeat will be the presidency, and not one away. What's he done to prove he's ready for the job, if Palin isn't? (I don't think any of the 4 people left are good for the job mind you)

2) The Soviets lost in Afghanistan.

3) Time out! What surplus? THERE WAS NEVER ANY SURPLUS!!!

4) You've done a good job explaining Bush's failures. So what's McLame going to do to destroy the country, and what's Obam-uh going to do to save it?

5) BUSH IS NOT ON THE BALLOT.

Real World

That's where my vote is going.

I certainly hope there is. I can't bring myself to go 3rd party this year, but I strongly support the movements that are trying to break through the metaphorical glass ceiling the Rs and Ds keep the other options under.

Hey I agree, but let me tell you my dilemma, I am in a swing state if I don't vote for McCain that is like a vote Obama. And as much as I like Chuck Baldwin or Bob Barr, not having Obama in office is my first priority in this election. You and RW can do this because you live in state that are basically decided already.

Good point. I'm in NH. I guess it's not really a swing state, but it is pretty undecided. And either candidate could use our three electoral votes. I don't feel I can feel afford to go 3rd party, despite that's what I feel is best.

Real World

4 electoral votes, no? NH could be critical in this years election. I think every single electoral vote will matter.

Yup, 4 EV's.

It's close up there too. Even closer if there's another Bradley Effect, ala the dem primary.

I'm sorry; of course you're right, it's 4. It will be close, and 4 votes should definitely matter. If you were here, would you still go third party?

Real World

I'd go to any, and every party. Especially if there were hot chics there. Oh, you mean would I still vote for a thrid party. Yeah, I would. I'm done voting for the lesser of two evils, especially when I don't think either ticket is worthy of the position. Lessons need to be learned.
