I don't find it nearly so bad if someone's motivated by religious convictions (which he has to know has cost him support in many areas) as one who is seemingly says anything in order to gain power.
The temporary tax cuts were supposed to be a stimulus for the economy. It's debatable that they were one of the contributing factors to the recovery, but here we are in a recovering economy.
You can talk yourself blue in the face about 'no vote is wasted'. It's not going to change the fact that voting for an extreme right or left 3rd party candidate will only be contributing to the center-opposite candidate's campaign by removing a potential vote from whoever your 2nd choice would have probably been.
The only real place we can make a difference is in the primary election. Unfortunately, American voters are too quick to jump on the bandwagon of the annointed one.

Right so why do people like Nader and Sharpton run? Why is it that people who don't have a shot and know they don't have a shot run? Nader might not get elected, but when those issues are out there and the 2 large parties want to win those votes, they will adopt those issues.
