Indeed let Mitt Romney steal the election away from Jill Stein.
Full report lies in this article here:

In other news, a commercial from Skittles about a teenager kissing her roommate’s walrus boyfriend is upsetting the usual religious crowd.
Kids these days. I can only imagine the reaction I would have gotten if I’d ever let some 3,400 lb walrus sit on my mom’s couch in her pristine living room.
But just in case you have a thing for walruses, or for Skittles, or John Waters’ style humor, you can see that commercial for yourselves. It might mean a big uptick in new couch orders!

Thanks, elise, for the BTC News article.
Getting lectured for voting third party does get tiresome. Great to see someone take these folks to task.
I love it, that W. Berger closes with the George Bernard Shaw quote: “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”
Spot on.

Rec’d.
I’ve always thought of it this way also: All these people are “stealing” votes from real progressive, and if something isn’t done about it Obama is going to steal the election!
So keep on voting for the two parties that don’t give a shit about you?
great strategy
There are absolutes, you know. One is that Obama has taken the Democratic Party to the right of Ronald Reagan absolutely, and way to the right of anyone, EVER, with his drone, assassination and indefinite detention programs.
But those don’t count, and real Progressives should vote for him?
fuck that
um, too early, apparently, and my reading comprehension is at zero per cent.
I retract my post and apologize for the misplaced rant.;-P
It comes from seeing way too many Obama apologists and posts here at FDL lately
If you are in a solidly blue state or a solidly red state and want to vote third party, go for it. Your vote is not going to affect the electoral vote, which is the only one that counts.
If you are in a purple state and want to vote third party, your decision is obviously more difficult.
The dangers of endorsing Obama’s first term in particular and the relentlessly rightward march of the Democratic Party in general may be just as dangerous for the country long term than a Romney Presidency. I use the term “may” because I am truly unsure.
However, I live in a very blue state, so I will definitely be voting third Party and, most likely, for Jill Stein.
So, if Obama steals the election from her, don’t blame me!
ackack–
No problem. Perhaps I should have included the entire final sentence, for clarity. So, here we go:
“I love it, that W. Berger closes with the George Bernard Shaw quote: “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. Go ye forth and be f*****g unreasonable.”
Spot on.

The last sentence, obviously not Shaw’s, but Berger’s. LOL!

thank you
Nice to have someone to blame, NO?
It was indeed a nice relief to have some humor in the usual discussion about how we need to vote for the O man.
And especially nice that the humor segued into support for Jill Stein.
They always say he or she who laughs last laughs best, but I thoroughly endorse finding one thing to laugh about every single day.
A laughing person may not live longer but they sure enjoy it more.
It shouldn’t be a difficult decision at all. I live in a purple state. Obama is a war criminal and a pathological liar. I can’t possibly vote for him.

Thanks for the link to the article. It was excellent!
Cheers, folk. Thanks for the link and the kind words.
