So what will you do....not vote??

If Republicans nominate a RINO like Chris Cristie or Jeb Bush, I will vote for a third party. The more I listen to potential Republican candidates speak and flip-flop their positions depending on the audience, the less likely it seems to be that I will be able to vote for the Republican nominee. I certainly do not want to see Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, or any other likely Democrat win the White House in 2016, but it absolutely turns my stomach to watch George W. Bush refer to the rapist Bill Clinton as his "brother from another mother."

A ruling class has formed in this country where its members engage in cheap theatrics to convince us that we still have a voice in our federal government, but at the end of the day they meet to play handball, share a bottle of scotch, and laugh about what fools voters are. It's like the good cop/bad cop routine but on a larger scale.

For the most part, the difference between being a Washington Republican or Democrat is no different than being a Dallas Cowboy or a Washington Redskin. The skills required to make either team are the same and the rivalry means more to the fans (voters) than it does to the players who are paid to play the games.

An extreme example of the point that I am trying to make is Florida's Charlie Crist. The man has now lost elections running as a Republican, an Independent, and a Democrat. The sad thing is that after running unsuccessfully as both a Republican and an Independent, he narrowly lost to Republican Rick Scott as a Democrat. How gullible must voters be to believe that Crist's core beliefs are much different now than they were when he was a Republican governor of Florida? Voters are being played big time and we are all losing the game.
