    I agree, but that's only a problem for the "Christian" Republicans.

    "But in any case, he's right: there are a huge group of Americans who simply pay no income taxes and instead live off government support. They will support Obama regardless of what Romney says because they want to continue leeching off the rest of society."

    So that's why the preponderance of people who don't pay income tax live in states that vote for Democrats! Obviously, right?

    Well,

    If I were running to be the leader of the free world, you damn well should expect me to be good in adverse conditions.

    I don't know what you mean, but a good Christian would indeed render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and also realize that the things we do to the least of our brothers, we do to Christ.

    Because that's the actual philosophy attributed to Jesus, and I don't really understand the problem with it.

    Why would ATT give you a responsive network? You're paying for the crappy one now (so am I), but what are you going to do? Go to one of the other arms of the oligopoly?

    The fact that you refer to more than one party as a "third party" is emblematic of the impossibility of third parties doing anything ever in the current structure of American representative democracy.

    It's a pretty thing to think, but until the voting system changes, "third parties" will never get a seat at the table.
