Re: All the disputed requests for anti-terrorism

said by KrK:

A ton of Democrats voted for Perot too, and came back to Clinton in 94.
No problem for them. It was Rs who moaned about other Rs "voting for Clinton" by voting for Perot.

Since then, the event is often used by Rs to whip a little fear into the disillusioned. (As Nader is used to whip Ds into shape regarding 2004's close call involving hanging chad, etc.).

There's no way to vote your conscience without run-off elections (or, tier-rank ballots which 2/3 of the population wouldn't comprehend anyway).

I don't think it would make a difference. If the "Tea Party" got into office, they'd last about 2 years like the "Republican Revolution" of '94.

If Greens (or Libertarians) got into office, they'd have the same abrupt encounter with reality.

It seems to be a natural human trait to blame the two-party system for everything. Or, dismiss every disagreeable action to "unconstitutionality." But, it always goes back to the same thing. Few people changing what they can change (preferring World of Warcraft). Or, trying to change things and realizing... it's not as bad as they thought it was. It's just the nature of a complicated world where people don't have the homogenous values and goals they did in Ward Cleaver's day.
