Well... I can only hope you will reconsider shooting yourself in the head?

Vote for a 'third party', or vote for Ron Paul?...
I might as well shoot myself in the head...
Both these 'options' are absolutely insane right now as far as I'm concerned. We have a uber, money-backed runnaway train right now running down the tracks, already derailing and smashing up towns, and cities. It is going full force, and I'm watching disgruntled, worried folks wanting to peel off the army that COULD be built up to stop it...That army is far from perfect, but it's got some really good people in it, ready to take on some damn hard battles, and they need a lot of support to get elected to at least join forces to stop that runaway train.
That runaway train got some big momentum in 2010 because the wackos in their army did NOT peel off onto a 'third party'. And the disgruntled folks, yawned and let it happen.
Our two party system works, it always works for somebody. You have to get in there and work your ass off...That's what women had to do, and that's what the negro community had to do.
As we know, over the course of our history, our two political parties have changed drastically over the decades. That is a testament as to how much people can change things within the two party system. It's rotten, messy, tough shit, and it sucks. But, you either join forces and fight the battle, or you'll just keep losing, and getting screwed.
