As long as they run on the Repub ticket. Anyone who believes a third party will accomplish anything more than keeping DimWits in office, is living on Uranus!
Of course, you are 100% right, but save your breath. It's like discussing foreign policy with a ronbot.

Clearly you don't like my opinion. That's fine. No need to attempt a passive-aggressive insult, though.

You really looking forward to GOP in control? What will they do differently? What will they reverse? Seriously.

One of the things that they will do differently is that they'll prosecute the WOT as a war, and not as a crime.

Won't happen in 2010. Maybe in 2012 if there's a new president as well. But Holder and Obama have already made that decision. Terrorists will be on American soil before next year's elections... no on will move them back to Gitmo under this president. Had McCain won, likely would have been as you suggest. Just don't see it shifting directions under this administration unless something major happens.

By "control," I mean that there's got to be a Republican in the White House.

I think you're correct on that. And not only a Republican, a conservative...

AFAIC, the two need to be the same.

And anyone who believes that the GOP is any more fiscally conservative than the DNC has been asleep for the last 8-9 years.

I don't disagree that third party will be hard, but I'm not voting for another party...

Look, there are not a whole ton of people here who disagree with you on the philosophical niceties, but the simple, blunt fact of the matter is, a vote for a third party is as good as a vote for the Democrats.  If you really want to help the Democrats flush the country down the toilet, go ahead and vote on punctilious philosophical issues.  If you don't, then vote for the Republican who stinks the least, and then make sure you hold his or her toes to the fire constantly to keep him or her from getting lazy and drifting over to the Democrat side of things.
