[TheRealThing]

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.

I'm sorry Hoot but there is no comparing what we have seen out of the present administration and any other. From the repeal of DADT, to the Republicans being locked out of the ObamaCare tax burdensome nightmare including the Jonathan Gruber revelations, to Benghazi, to Harry Reid's obstruction, to frozen and shrinking personal incomes, to using the likes of Al Sharpton as race relations advisor, to forced climate control, to foreign policy which if I had to compare to something the Tsarnaev brothers pressure cooker bombs come to mind.

The voters none the less as you point out, are being played. That's because they have not been involved enough nor informed enough to participate from the perspective of self governance. Voters must vet and subsequently hold public office holder's feet to the fire, and when they don't perform or mislead, they should be dispatched in exactly the same manner as November 4th, 2014. Otherwise, if we're going to sit back and just pull the lever with a D or R on it we're going the way of the Do-Do in any event.

Border control, Keystone pipeline, and the ridiculous regulations that have been belched out of brainstorming sessions straight out of La-La Land, are at least on the table again. If they sit on their hands or underwhelm us again, then it's time to turn the two party system on it's head.
