This is the only way they will understand we the people are tired of liers and thieves.
Why not?

It is called a write in

Just received an email today from my Sister, Allow me to share it with you:
This is an interesting analysis:
We need to show more sympathy for these people.
They travel miles in the heat, they risk their lives crossing a border, they don't get paid enough wages, they do jobs that others won't do or are afraid to do, they live in crowded conditions among a people who speak a different language, they rarely see their families, and they face adversity all day everyday.
I'm not talking about illegal Mexicans. I'm talking about our troops.
Doesn't it seem strange that Congress is willing to lavish all kinds of social benefits on illegals, but don't support our troops and are now threatening to de-fund them?
Please pass this on. This is worth the short time it takes to read it.

Good idea. I say we just continue to vote out all the incumbents until they realize who exactly they work for. Unfortunately nobody is going to do this because they think their side is right and the other side is wrong and protect their sacred cows even though those same cows care nothing about them.
If anyone doesn't see that a vote for Clinton in '08 is just like voting for Bush again is not bright enough to actually get a vote. Or for that matter Giuliani or McCain or Edwards or Obama. They are all the same ashole.

Now that sounds like a real good idea .I think even Ralph Nader once suggested that option around 6 years ago during the 2000 presidential campaign while he was running on the green ticket.

We have that choice for statewide offices in Nevada. Still, it's the human being who comes in second to the "none of the above" vote that wins the election in any case where "none of the above" is in the majority.

i have always loved this idea. then one day i thought, ok, let's say this option becomes available. in the next election it gets the most votes...then what? go through another election cycle? do the current people stay in power?
as a option during the primary phase, i think this idea is doable. but, carried over to the national election it will need a lot of work.

I believe that option is available in some jurisdictions. Otherwise, you can always "write in" a candidate of your choosing, if your local precinct allows it. Heck, it doesn't even have to be a real person. LOL

Agreed. Unfortunately party loyalists aka sheeple, only care about having a D or an R by the president's name.

Well, anyone with a grain of common sense won't run... they're too intelligent to put themselves and their families through the muck.

not at all
the smart thing to do would be to vote for, and legitimize a 3rd, 4th, or 5th party candidate ... to loosen the stranglehold on power that the Dems and Republicans have
voting for no one does nothing ...
