No, actually, that makes MY point. A third party will never, ever, ever win the Presidential election in this nation.
Ever.
Really? You forget that the Republicans were once a third party, and that before that, the Whigs were a third party.
Now, I tend to agree with you that the major parties are in all likelihood not going to change in terms of which parties they are, but it is possible that enough people voting for a third party would result in an ideas shift so those people will vote for a major party again.
My vote isn't cheap. Deal with it
The end result of you voting third party is the simple fact that you help vote in an administration that you are even more politically aligned against.
Honestly, not really. I loath Mitt Romney as much as I loath Obama at this point. The only reason I care at all is because Obama is guaranteed to only have four more years, while Mitt Romney being elected will ensure that we don't get another Republican primary in '16 .
You dont think that its going to be one of those 2 parties that wins isnt logical?
In New York? The idea that Romney is going to win here is probably just as

as the idea of Gary winning New Mexico, or Goode winning Virginia, is. Romney has no chance here, essentially. And if he won here this year, he'd have won practically everywhere else by default except the capital and maybe California. So in my case, even if I could vote this year, NOT voting for Romney would not IN ANY WAY help Obama win. Obama has this state locked up anyway, and even if he gets killed in this election, heck, even if he is killed the way John Mccain was killed four years ago, Obama will still have NY.
So, why vote for Romney this year if you live in NY? Whatever your answer to that is probably the same reason I'd vote for Johnson. I assume your answer is somewhat along the lines of "Romney won't win in NY because not enough people will vote for him." Ditto for the candidate I support.
I think it is extremely logical and it has the weight of history behind it, and there is simply no way you can avoid it. Its going to happen, and continue to happen. You can either continue to be a non-factor, or you can actually vote for a party that might actually win a presidential election.
I'll do that when one or the other party gives me a candidate I can care about.
The statement was not the way of empathy but of a sign that Mitt might not be a good choice. There is a reason why many conseratives are joining in the denouncement of Mitt after his statement.
Most of us have been denouncing Mitt Romney long before

The only people that actually like Mitt are VRWCAgent, a couple of other normal people, and the GOP establishment. Most of the Tea Party types (Whether they are from the more libertarian wing or not) do not like Romney. Some of them are voting for him, but none of them actually like him.
