Third Party Viability

by Randy on February 14, 2008

I am ok with voting for McCain. I am praying for a miracle Huckabee win but … I am ok with voting for McCain. He irritates me and I don’t trust him on some issues. I do see him as a fixture of the “establishment.” That said, I like that he would keep us safe in the war on terror, is pro-life and will appoint conservative Judges.

But … once Hillarack Obamaton (sounds like a transformer huh?) is defeated… like the very next day… I am hoping that a truly viable third party will develop for the 2010 elections and especially by 2012.

I’ve just about had it with both parties. They are too comfortable and manipulative.

YEAH brother Randy!

I agree... however, I had personal dealings with McCain a few years back. I will not be voting for him... but when I filling the arrow by his name here in Oklahoma it will be voting AGAINST Hillarack Obamaton! I cannot feel peaceful about this election AT ALL! I am so discussed with both parties too! Have you heard to the Constitutional Party? I am looking at this party now. It seems to be growing. I believe Alan Keyes is now a member of it.

I would love to hear your personal interactions with the man.

I don't know anything about the Consititutional party.

I feel you on that one! I wonder if a third party is something that needs to be built from the ground up or the top down. Is it possible for a third party to successfully win the presidency? Much to think about, much to do...

I think a third party will have to be built from both the ground up and the top down. There will have to be leaders who will have to utilize the grassroots in a way that actually involves the grass roots in its formation.

... but still leadership. :)

John McCain refused to listen to the ideas of why marriage must be between one man and one woman. He refused to vote for the amendment. We corresponded a few years ago. He sent me a THREE page letter-rant about all the reasons why he couldn't vote for the amendment... it was nothing but spin! I was really angry with his political posing. I told him then and I would tell him now... I will NEVER endorse him for president. I do NOT trust him. I have watch him closely since that time... and since then he as continued to link arms with the most liberal Senators on ridiculous items... like amnesty and censoring conservatives. Okay... I think you get me point. Bottom line... McCain is a politician with his OWN agenda. He is not serving people. It is so ungodly I can hardly stand it... it is evil what is going on in politics!

Here's their web site. You should read what there about there...

"Look," he said, "Whether Hillary, Obama or McCain gets elected, we're going to have a Democrat in the White House. Might as well be one you like."

What do you think about the above quote? Got it off of someone's blog today.

And what do you think about Republican's voting for Obama instead of McCain, voters being refered to as 'Obamacan's'? I can't hardly stand both Hillary and McCain. If I voted for who I liked of the 3, right now it would be Obama. :::: cannot believe I just typed that ::::. I say IF it was for the 'likability factor' which that's not exactly how I'd vote.

I just don't trust McCain.

Both Obama and Hillary are *completely* against everything I believe in public policy and Obama is more of a Marxist than she is. I don't like McCain but like I mentioned, he is pro-life, he promised to appoint conservative Judges and will keep the military strong and on alert against terrorists.

I think "Obamacans" are being enticed with the "tickling of the ears" affect.

Has there been mention of who McCain's running mate may be? Grumpy grandpa is not getting any younger. Well, that's not very respectful but I'm a little concerned about his age. Plus, if he's our next president I won't be referring to him that way. I will honor the position. :-)

That's ok... I have been calling him Mr. Jiggle Jowels.

Bad Randy ... bad bad bad Randy.

I don't know who he will pick for a running mate.

When you say Obama is 'more of a Marxist than she is', what do you mean? More 'liberal'? I guess I really don't know what 'Marxist' means.

Susan ... you ask more questions :)

Marxism is the philosophical underpinnings of communism and so much more bondage that doesn't work.

You've been quite patient and I will try harder on doing my own research. :-)
Thank you for the link.
