I feel the daggers stick'n me in the back right now

Don't Shoot The Messenger ... I come in Peace ... lol

I am not a Romney fan and would love to see someone else going for it, but at this stage of the game I think it would be a mistake to replace him.

I agree. We certainly don't need more divison at this late stage of the game. It's either going to be Obama or Romney ....... make a choice.

I'll pull them out for you if that were to happen man. You're simply trying to save this country and prevent it from making the same mistake over and over and over.... People need to think outside the box for once and see that there is not just two choices. Americans who fought for our independence from Britain were visionaries and it seems we're heavily in short supply of people like that today.

Frankly it's now or never. How long does this "lesser of two evils" mentality continue on for? 4 years, 8 years, 48 years? Or until it is too late and the country has been back-stabbed so many times that it is unable to recover no matter who we elect? Is that what it'll take for people to open their eyes to the fact that these two parties will continue to put forth incompetent rulers that are out of touch with every day Americans? What good will it do then when there is nothing left?

Who is your choice that supposedly has a chance to be elected in November?

My sweetest dream would be for both parties to dump their presumed candidate! How about a non-partisan election, we would have to think for ourselves without party direction and influance.

A non-partisan election will definitely not be something you'll see in your or my lifetime. You will always have segments of the population that have beliefs that align them with a specific side (for aguments sake we'll say a right side and a left side) on a large list of issues. Not everyone has the same core beliefs, values, morals, and ethics. However, those that do will normally stand together on a majority of issues.

I tried my best to make a point but after reading what I wrote, I'm not so sure I was successful.

I agree that we will never see a non-partisan national election at the national election level. However as a native Nebraskan, I have participated in many non-partisan elections. Nebraska's legislature is unicameral and non-partisan. Has been simce admitted to the Union in 1867. Forty-nine senators conduct all of Nebr.'s legislative business, for many years underpaid and limited sessions of alternating 60 and 90 sessions by law. I've been away for several years, so I'm assuming that it's the same or similar, but I know that it is still Unicameral, and I do not expect conservative Nebr. will change that.

In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs as matter of serious concern that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties ...All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels and modified by mutual interests.

However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.
