Conservatives: Considering the stakes in this election, can you give me a rational reason for voting 3rd party?

I said "rational" to rule out the notion that there is no difference between Gov. Romney and Obama.

    Ryan's plan takes 38 years to balance the budget and Romney's takes 27. Both would collapse America's infrastructure and threaten the very fabric of society. Obama has added more jobs to the economy in 3 1/2 years than Bush did in his entire 8 years as President. Romney's plans are to slash the Bush tax cuts even further, while allowing wallstreet to return to its crony practices. Under Obama corporations are sitting on record historic loads of cash. Obama passed healthcare reform that hospitals and ER rooms desperately need while insuring 30-32 million more Americans in the U.S. Not to mention he negotiated with the 113 private insurers to accept lower payments from Medicaid while closing loopholes and donut holes from Medicare Part D.

    Romney says he has a plan to add 12 million New jobs to the economy by the end of 2016 but how convenient for him to say when those numbers are the same projections the independent CBO says will be added to the economy by the President Obamas second term under President Obamas current economic policies. Romney's plans would actually thrawt this development.

    No, I do not think it would be good to vote for a 3rd party simply because they could not win. Whether you love or hate Obama, this election is going to be a referendum on his performance one way or another. Romney is not the ideal candidate either...so take you choice. More of the same or a "Chance" on real change.

    I couldn't. We are still a two-party system. Besides, Ron Paul is TOO LIBERAL anyhow.

    It means, voting against the impostor and for Reps - to prevent fuhrer hussein obaminator from winning at all costs.
