Nope. There is a solution to that problem.
Heinz Ketchup Alternative 
A ketchup that is made by a company that doesn't outsource jobs.
Actually my dad has bought some and it doesn't taste the same, but its better than buying ketchup from that wacky lady.

Who exactly are the "good guys" cause I don't see any "good guys" in this election.

Call them the not-quite-as-bad guys maybe but I wouldn't call any of our current presidential candidates "good guys"

What prevents them from being the good guys? Please don't mention conspiracy theories.

What's the point of mentioning anything? You are so solidly set in your partisan beliefs that nothing anyone says will change your opinion. You've already made up your mind before someone speaks on partisan political issues. As I've said before this is exactly why I don't claim a party. I see good things and bad on both sides of the fence and I keep an open mind about politics. Hardcore partisans refuse to ever see the other sides because they are too caught up in ragging on the other party.
Why do you think that pretty much every political thread on these boards ends up with people resorting to insults upon each other at some point?

That's one of the more creative ways to dodge a question that I've seen in a while.
I consider myself an idealogue, not a partisan. Yes, I become a partisan during the election season, but only because I have to. But 90% of the time you will see me commenting and debating along an ideological line, not a partisan one.
Usually people resort to name-calling only when they don't want to answer a question, much like you did above. You didn't want to answer the question, either because you don't have an answer or because you'd rather imagine how much of a partisan I am.

It's so sad to me that you cannot even see the hipocrisy in your own words. This reminds me of that other thread where Swazo and you got into it and you sat there all smug-like saying basically the same thing "I won, I'm right you're wrong and you have to call me names because of it" [/loose translation off] yet I could pull up numerous posts where you resort to the name calling you claim I have done (which btw I'd love you to show me where that happened unless you're saying "partisan" equals name calling ) yet often if someone doesn't agree with you you resort to calling them stupid, ignorant, etc.
I'm surprised you don't like Kerry...you seem to be a lot like him. Don't address most of the issues but instead point the finger and someone else and try to make them look bad by whatever means you can muster up then sit back and claim victory.
Everyone's entitled to have an opinion. Just because that opinion doesn't jive with yours doesn't make them stupid or ignorant. Diversity is part of what makes the U.S. so great so maybe you should work on tolerance a little more instead of trying to bash everyone who doesn't see things your way.
That's about as much time as I feel like wasting on this issue...anything else is obviously pretty pointless so have a nice day.

My thoughts exactly.
Have I called names here? Yes. Entirely in response though. As I said above, sometimes the conversation turns to name calling when excellent points are made that cannot be responded to or there are questions that someone does not want to answer (like you, above).
I like how most people call holding an opinion "arrogance" and "not wanting to see both sides of the issues". I call it having an opinion. Do I often say things and insist that I am right? You bet -- because I believe in what I say. If you think I'm being ignorant by not consulting you before I form an opinion, then yes, I am ignorant. But most would consider that having core beliefs.
