That is no incumbent hoping to be returned should be returned to congress. That'll make them shit their pants. For the mid-term elections one should aim to throw out the incumbent!

Perhaps ENCOURAGING YOU to stand up for YOUR RIGHTS is BATSHIT. MICHAEL:

Naiveate has nothing to do with it, it's called backbone. It's called MAKE THEM COME AND TAKE THE MONEY. It's called standing up for your rights and yourself. It's called being a RESPONSIBLE AMERICAN CITIZEN. It's called doing it yourself, no one can or is going to do it for you. Otherwise, pop a beer and grab the remote, maybe you can catch a game.

Support Instant Runoff Voting (IRV). It eliminates the spoiler dilemma, allowing you to give your first-choice vote to the candidate you love, and your second-choice vote to the (theoretically more viable) candidate you only-kinda-like, so you don't have to worry about accidentally helping to elect the evil enemy candidate you hate. If IRV had been used in 2000, Gore would've won, handily. IRV is tried and true, it's constitutional, it's more democratic than our current system (in that it gives each voter more choice and more voice than they currently have) and saves taxpayer money, to boot (when used to elect a majority winner in a single election, instead of the two-election general/runoff system used in some municipalities). IRV has been the electoral system of choice for decades in Australia, London elects their mayor with IRV, and San Francisco recently switched over to IRV for their citywide elections. It's time for the rest of America to jump on board and put an end to the lesser-of-two-evils garbage that currently infects our electoral system. To find out how you can bring IRV to your town/state and eliminate the spoiler problem, check out the Center for Voting and Democracy, at the following weblink: www.fairvote.org Thanks, Patrick Meighan Los Angeles Greens Since our two-party system makes the “lesser of two evils” vote our most attractive option…

Really, it's time for "something entirely different". I'm damned if I know what, though. I don't share Mike's rather naive faith in "the taxpayers", most of whom (in my opinion) are clearly part of the problem. For cryin’ out loud. $#@! the Democrats!
