Let's clarify whether YOU are talking about the political parties or the voters. My question you quoted was about VOTERS. My question was since when did we start voting for someone simply because we think it will make the "other side" cry? Not the dirty politicians...I know they're dirty and play games. I won't argue there.
The Florida rigged vote thing is bullcrap though. Get over it. How many times do the damned ballots have to be counted and by how many different groups before you just accept the numbers? Apparently as many times as it takes to get the numbers you want.

Asked about the Fast and Furious program at the Univision forum on Thursday, President Obama falsely claimed that the program began under President George W. Bush.
"I think it's important for us to understand that the Fast and Furious program was a field-initiated program begun under the previous administration," the president said. "When Eric Holder found out about it, he discontinued it. We assigned a inspector general to do a thorough report that was just issued, confirming that in fact Eric Holder did not know about this, that he took prompt action and the people who did initiate this were held accountable."
In actuality, the Fast and Furious program was started in October 2009, nine months into the Obama presidency.
Previous programs involving ATF agents allowing guns to "walk" across the border so as to trace them were run during the Bush presidency, but not this particular "field-initiated program."
White House officials did not respond to a request for comment after the falsehood was pointed out to them.

Ha! Does a peaceful person carpet bomb a country (Libya) under the guise of a UN No Fly Zone? Does a peaceful person keep a hit list and execute supposed terrorists, including US citizens with Predator Drones? Does a peaceful person supply arms to extremists to topple foreign regimes? Does a peaceful person sign into law a measure that allows government to indefinitely detain its citizens without due process? Just what is your definition of a peaceful person? I guess when we start raining death on Iran you'll classify that as a peaceful act. Get a clue, just because a man has a Nobel Peace Prize, doesn't make him peaceful. Remember the award is named after the man who invented dynamite.

It's all broken. Everything, broken. Watching the data and analysis flow through www.unpartial.com... has opened my eyes like nothing before it. Everything is broken.
The primary process
The election process
The structure of the government
The media
Education
The nation's infrastructure
It's all so horribly broken. Everything.

Come on he's cool , he has a good hook shot, and hangs with Jay-Z and Beyonce. He gets a pass for crap like that. He's a Democrat - when they bomb stuff without congressional approval it’s because they know best. When Bush goes to war with near unanimous congressional support - it’s Cowboy Diplomacy.
You need to sign up for the memos so you can keep up .
The peace prize Obama got was for future potential peace not anything he did. He didn't build that - it was the government who made that happen. To make him look good.
Bottom line is Obama is the coolest kid in school – incompetent but cool so the people like him and that is all he needs. Competence and a record are irrelevant in 2012.
Neat to have almost every person in the MSM on their knees worshiping the leaking teat of Obama stupid and spouting it out for free. It is like having a trillion more dollars in your campaign coffers all the free reach arounds they give this guy while they ask him softball questions – Um, Mr. President if you were a tree which would you be?
If Obama were a fish he’d be orange and covered in spikes as a warning to the other fish not to eat him – nature knows who is dangerous.
