Then how do you square Bush’s (pre-presidency) and Repub members of Congress’ declaring that the president formulate an exit plan (a.k.a. withdrawal) when committing troops to military action overseas?

Good night, Exley. Pitchers and Catchers report in about, what, six weeks? :)

Perhaps,Exley, you would consider a third party vote even if you don’t agree with the party for the same of the health of the entire process. You know, give one up for the team.

Unless my Congressman, John Hall, does two things, he won’t be getting my vote this November. First, he has to be more vocal and active about the need to impeach the Vice President (then President) for their numerous constitutional violations, and, second, he must secure the nomination of a party other than the Democrats. I will not vote for him on the Democratic Party line.

Then, on the state level, you are exercising your right to vote correctly. You should do the same on the national level. Write in a candidate if you have to.

“But you can still help the party of the candidate, even if that candidate has no chance of winning.”

Yes, but as with the individual candidates there has not been a national third-party in which I have been interested in supporting.

I understand what you are saying though. In New York elections, when I have been unsatisfied with the GOP candidates, I have voted for the Conservative Party candidates to 1) send a message to the NY Republican Party that they need to field better candidates and/or 2) Make sure the Conservative Party received enough votes to allow it to remain on future New York ballots. Lack of a sufficient votes wound up killing the New York Liberal Party in the 1990s.

And some say he looks “presidential”, as if that should ever be a reason to vote for anyone.

Exley,

But you can still help the party of the candidate, even if that candidate has no chance of winning. Until more people start doing that, we will be forever stuck with just Democrats and Republicans to choose from, and nobody really wants that.

And seriously, Exley, being able to run a business has nothing to do with being able to govern. The two have mutually exclusive goals. In business, you’re trying to maximize profits (even if people have to die to do that), and in government, you are trying to serve the people and do things that need to be done whether it’s profitable or not.
