    Voting (D) or (R) is an exercise in anal rape.

    You didn't really answer my question. It has nothing to do with courage. Third party isn't a panacea, those candidates have their flaws as well.

    No no offense but, part of the reason "third party" candidates don't play well is due to their supporter's over the top rhetoric. "Anal rape"? And let's be honest, when you say "third party", what you really mean is, Libertarian Party. Right?

    I will never vote (D) or (R). They are utterly corrupt.

    Why would you?

    Not necessarily. The Constitution party is a good option.

    I have courage but I am not going to vote for someone who cannot win. I'm waiting for another Perot.
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation
    Pick your enemies carefully.

    There will never be a 3rd party elected because the duopoly owns the media, the national debate, the ballot access laws, all of the special interest money, they get their private party primary elections financed by the taxpayers and they can even deny your vote in their election unless you belong to their private party by registration.
    Government is force by definition and corruption by nature. The Bigger the government the greater the force and the greater the corruption.

    That doesn't mean that you ought to vote for one of the two main parties.

    Break the mold.
