Yet again missed my entire point. It is NOT a rp vote, he is the MESSENGER he wants us to continue fighting for our country right?
Why are we trying to divide EVEN MORE?
The lib party should be the republican party right? If libs are under the constitution then that should be the republican party as it should be.
Why can't we have people stand up AS republicans how they should be? Show people what TRUE REPUBLICANS are????
For instance, the constitutional party is a great sounding idea BUT what do they want? The constitution to be followed which we should be doing anyways, why walk away from the problem to try and make a new party when we really need to be changing the entire system back to a republic.....
Long term short term has zero to do with adding more political parties to the mess.
What happens when
democrats
republicans
3rd party
indie
constitutionalist
All run together, would you believe any of those "Classifications" even mean anything anymore?
We need less division and need to come together under one party. I think all of those true constitutionalist should have went under the correct party ie the republican party how it SHOULD be but I feel and other do that the "republican party" would be a hard one to win right now or anytime in the future as well.
I just don't see the point in helping classify groups even more. I don't even care for the two party system as it sits now, can't wait to see 2 or 3 more party platforms and the neo-cons stuffing fake candidates into all of those parties as well.
OR we can take back the gop like we should and SHOW why socialized anything like the dems want is WRONG as well as the leftist bullshit mccain is trying to push on the republican side mixed with "kill em all" mentality like he has.
I don't like our current gop but it needs to be rebuilt and not left to die so we can work on something easier to possibly accomplish like getting 20% of the vote with a libertarian for whatever reason that might be.
Also I will not simply vote for one of them for the same exact reason I won't vote against mccain. It's not a lesser of evils vote for me and yes if NO ONE is on the ballot that I want to vote for then I will NOT vote for them.
Instead of griping over it we need to educate people so we can HAVE candidates worth voting for that FULLY stand behind the constitution and not just "closer then obama or mccain" like some of these 3rd party guys are.
Not saying they all are the same BUT I KNOW some people are putting some of their beliefs and ideals aside to vote for one of these lib 3rd party candidates just to NOT vote for the dem or repub that will odds are get the nomination.
BTW doing something useful is NOT voting for someone better then the rest and close to the constitution either. My vote counted 100% in February when it went to Ron Paul and to me if I voted for someone that didn't stand 100% for the constitution then what would that really accomplish? That is like voting for obama to make sure mccain doesn't win.
Simple to see
vote lib to not vote dem
vote dem to not vote repub
Did you read my post? I said the purpose of my vote is long term. What would a McCain or Obama vote mean long term? Nothing.
If a Libertarian at the top of the ticket gets double digits, that will put to rest the idea that the Libertarian party has no chance. And there's a difference between recent success by third parties and what this would be. The Green Party is far left on every issue, and like the Constitution Party, has no crossover appeal. There never was really much organization to the Reform Party.
That would help L's in races all over the country, and help shift the other parties toward libertarianism as well. If an incumbent Dem votes for the war and against civil liberties, the L candidate could pick those voters off. If an incumbent R votes for big gov't, the L candidate could get those candidates. With the two party spectrum both parties can do whatever they want and demand votes for fear of the other party.
I'm not saying that we should take our attention off of the RP congressional candidates. I'm going to be spending about every free moment of the next 5 months campaigning for Lawson. All I'm advocating is doing something useful with your vote.
