The problem Im facing, is Obama lost my vote a long time ago, so do I vote for whoever is the Republican runner, or waste a vote and go with another party all together?
Will any of us ever live long enough to see a NON Dem/GOP president?

Probably not something you want being published in a book authored by your wife.
Not that anyone directly connected to the opposition could use that against Santorum, its just one of those idle facts that you don't want floating around.
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
I doubt it. The country is too politically separate. Having a distinct third part would indicate that there's a large portion of the population that has different ideas (as opposed to having NO ideas) from the other two parties, which isn't the case.
Maybe in twenty years, when all these baby-boomer fethers fall over and croak, we might see a third part erupt.
Is the "green party" a separate party, or just a different sect of democratic thinking?

Remember it is the primaries. A Democrat must pander to the left estreme liberals. A Republican must pander to the right wing fanatics. Wait until they are head-to-head to find out who you will vote for.
BTW, I have been voting since 78. With the exception of Ronnie, I have been scared, bored or both with every candidate since. (Both sides)

So few words demonstrate so clearly how much you know about either the candidates or the party itself.
If Romney is so run of the mill R, WHY DO THE ALL HATE HIM?
D'oh! I meant to attribute that statement to Santorum, my bad.
Oh, and next time you catch me making a goof up, try not to be so abrasive, m'kay? I was very tempted to flame you.
_Tim?
I don't see how you think you could flame me for your boo booz.
That said Santorum is a freak show that makes party line Republicans look like goslings next to a swan of intolerance and awestrickingly radical viewpoints. Your description doesn't fit either but even wrong it was closer to Romney.

Ah, primary season. The magic time of the year were politicians of both stripes make ridiculous statements to win over the most fringe elements of their party, followed by about 6 months of vehemently denying they ever said those things or held those positions so they can appeal to the rest of the country.
People make a lot of noise about Presidential elections, but it's mostly a moot point. Presidents hold very little direct power, outside of war, and essentially are cheeleaders for the US. It doesn't really matter who we elect, the entrenched bureaucracy that actually runs the country will keep on marching to the same tune anyway. I also have come to think voting is a total waste of time. I've never missed a major election since I became old enough to vote, but this year (and presumably, going forward) it just seems like a huge waste of time, akin to voting for American Idol singers. I'd like to hear Biccat's perspective on why it's important; and not to argue with it, but because frankly I'd like to be convinced.

You are quite welcome to move anytime you like.
In other words no, not even as a joke.
Ditto. My ancestors didn't put holes in redcoats to have them come back because others get wussylike.

Why's that? Romney's the Republicans' answer to John Kerry.
If you vote for a third party it is not a "wasted" vote. If they receive a certain percentage of the vote, it make sthem eligible for Federal election financial support dollars next time around. They can use this to continue to build their ground game.
The Independence Party in Minnesota, has used such contributions to make reasonably strong showings in the state Senate, House, Federal Senate, Federal House, and State Governorship elections.

Yeah, it's how the country's developed. Bunch of old farts ruining it for everyone else.
The more of the younger generations I experience, the less I want THEM voting either.... it's a double edged sword.

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

The UK newspapers are reporting that Romney has taken a blow after the firing people comment gaffe.
Although, by the sounds of things he is hardly a paragon of virtue (taken from the Telegraph):
The record of Bain Capital, the company he led for 14 years, has however come under intensified scrutiny as his rivals have sought to slow down his apparently smooth progress to the nomination. It has emerged that many companies it restructured shed jobs or ended up in bankruptcy while its shareholders made large profits.
.. Well, if the Presidential thing doesn't work out at least he will be able to ease into a position at GW following Kirby's retirement
