I mean c'mon, when has there ever been ...Yeah! I mean c'mon, when has there ever been a third party who could actually win an election and enjoy longevity?<br /><br />Oh yeah, it was the Republican Party Party in 1856...ironically b/c the Whigs couldn't decide what or who they wanted to be. <br /><br />Commie degenerates to the left, wussy girly-men to the right. Brian is right, there's no place for conservatives in either party. It's only a matter of time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22818602.post-55212000168481753212010-08-25T12:27:31.954-04:002010-08-25T12:27:31.954-04:00oh, and one more thing about 'third party'...oh, and one more thing about 'third party'.<br /><br />Before you even think about putting serious hope on a third party white house, don't you think you should at least have ONE member of the legislature? Wouldn't that at least give you SOME justification for thinking you could get the WH?<br /><br />And conversely, isn't there ANYTHING at all in having ZERO seats in congress that could tell you, NOBODY CARES?<br /><br />Besides, there is no third party that isn't instantly identified as a wackjob bunch. Try to discuss anything at all with a Libertarian, they talk about drugs. With a Constitution Party wackjob, it's religion. You can't even discuss anything at all with them without getting proselytized. That doesn't mean they're wrong; but that isn't governing, and it needs to be set on the back burner while issues are discussed, or you aren't discussing are you!?Idahosernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22818602.post-56467901114773083482010-08-25T12:22:07.902-04:002010-08-25T12:22:07.902-04:00bull. Ron Paul would make a great chairman of the...bull. Ron Paul would make a great chairman of the Fed, overseeing it's dismantling. But nobody who thinks you never go to war except in direct defense is not a leader, and I will vote against him even if the alternative is a democrat. If his ideas had been in charge in WWII, we'd all be speaking German now. At least the democrats pretend to care about how we interact with the rest of the world.<br />Now Ron Paul's ideas on domestic policy are the right ones, for the most part. Getting a RINO or democrat who does foreign policy halfway right, such as Bush, means getting a dam socialist/statist on domestic policy, and that's just as bad; with Paul we get invaded, with Bush we rot from the inside. Neither is the right choice.<br /><br />Now about 'third party' nonsense. In your wildest dreams you might educate (just as a miraculously high possibility) 5% of the voters in America. The rest are going to vote for one of the two existing parties, and you can't change that. So don't fight it, USE it. Hijack one of the parties and win sometimes. It might feel better to go 'pure' and lose every time, but you accomplish less.<br />Think about this, for just a second, before you try to ignore this advice:<br />both of the existing parties were once 'pure' new parties.<br />Your "Constitution" party will get the same way, and even faster than before in this day and age. Then what do you do?<br />Use the existing party. It's the only way that isn't stupid.Idahosernoreply@blogger.com
