You have. There's not any question of that, to be honest. Your views do not align with Obama, yet you are voting for him because you want to be on the winning team.

My views don't align with the Green Party, either.


Correct. You're just another Democrat. You should stop pretending otherwise.

I have registered literally all over the ticket.. including Liberaterian, Green, Democratic, Republican, independent. I make no secret of being currently registered Democratic.. or that I register based on the primary ticket I wish to vote in. In this case, I registered based on some lower election battles and wanting to be able to validate an acquantances candidacy to the school board. (though I suspect she could have gotten enough signatures without mine, but still...)

If you consider that an insult.. go for it. My voting registration is a practical matter, not an idealism statement.

From 1776-2001 there was no Patriot Act. Ending it is "un-workable"?

From 1776-Present Day (in many places) elections were/are held with paper ballots. Reintroducing/maintaining them is "un-workable"?

Making election day a national holiday is "un-workable?"

Ending fossil fuel subsidies is "un-workable"?

Until 2001 the U.S. didn't slaughter children with Hellfire missiles. Stopping slaughtering them is "un-workable"?

You're either a lunatic or a sociopath.

What a blisteringly simpleton statement. The Green Party is against slaughtering Arab children and wiping out all life on Earth with nuclear weapons. The pauper's phrase you banged out "being anti-military is a big stance of theirs" is not a fact-based assertion. Anti-war and anti-military are two different things.

I'm not going to chase you around from thread to thread playing grab ass. Defend the statement you made in this thread - "The Green Party puts forward a whole platform of idealistic, non-workable ideas." - in this thread or don't bother.

to be fair to player and scotty, voting for obama/romney is justifiable ONLY IF you live in a close swing state, and you believe that one candidate is significantly better than the other (even though they are both inferior to third-party options)

of course the 3rd party candidates don't compare. If Ralph Nader were running, I would be voting for him. The biggest difference is that people know who Nader is, and that he is running. If a candidate like Stein etc, has the best ideas in the world and let just say ALL the answers, what good does it do though if 99% of voters have never even heard the name or even know she is running?

You probably remember during the Primary process, the importance I repeatedly stressed about voting in the Caucuses and Primaries. That was the time for candidates to make their moves and organize and get their names out there. Gary Johnson lasted through 1 Republican debate out of 13 or more, and that is probably why he is the most popular out of the 3rd party candidates (people have at least heard of him) and he is running on the Libertarian ticket.

I would rather write in Ron Paul's name than vote for a 3rd party candidate in 2012, and that is saying a lot because I know they do not even count the write ins.....

Yay! I'm a Libertarian.

According to the U.S. Libertarian Party, libertarianism is the advocacy of a government that is funded voluntarily and limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence. In the United States people commonly associate the term libertarian with those who have "economically conservative" and "socially liberal" political views (going by the common meanings of "conservative" and "liberal" in the United States). Prominent libertarians include Gary Johnson (Libertarian Party) and Ron Paul (Republican Party).

I don't believe that for a moment. At this point, Gary Johnson has almost the name recognition that Ralph Nader did.

Well, the USA do have a history of suppressing redskins, so it's not surprising if many people are racists and prefer voting for a blueskin like Obama, even though there're no big differences between the two candidates' policies.

Scott, the urgent nature of the scenario with which you've presented us seems to indicate an unusual and historic emergency will exist if Obama is elected.

For purposes of discussion, if Obama is elected, what specific actions will you take in the one or two years following election day?

Fascinating. If only because Ralph Nader had a lot of name recognition even among those who didn't vote for him. He had infinitely more media coverage.

You've been asked many times to point out five differences, and thus far you have not been able to do so. Does that mean you admit to being a racist?

Woodruff, he has already openly stated that the rhetoric a candidate uses is more important to him than the policies they pursue. There's no use debating anything political with him after that.
