Just remember that you third party voters gave us eight years of Clinton.
Shame wasn't it Cal, it is believed by many the same thing happened when Bush won the presidency. What's the old saying "what goes around comes around.

Third Partys have merrit. In Canada the Progressive Conservative Party was infiltrated and controled by eastern liberals ,so we<Alberta and eventually western Canada> started the Reform Party which after about ten years merged back with the PCs to form the new Conservative Party which took the power base of the party away from the eastern soft c conservatives.
In the last election we won the vote. Harpers Conservative government is by far the best government this country has ever had.
This was only possible through forming the Reform Party which was an honest to God grass roots party that actually represented Conservatives.

Wish we could get that done in this state and also in this country. Too many "good ol' boys" in both parties to do what they ought.

One of the problems I have with the conservatives right now is this, they have had control for quite awhile and still ain't done a lot to improve the problems coming out of Washington. Hell, just look at the FDA!

Thing that really gets me is that now that its 2 weeks before election time and now the polls don't look good for the Republicans- they all are running around like we didn't know there was any problems :roll: SAY WHAT- where they been sticking there heads for the last couple of years...I haven't seen this Congress do much listening to the public since it was formed....

And now its promise anything/everything if they can just get their grub line ticket punched again- so they can go back and do the same-o, same-o all over again :roll: :( :mad:

Our county is voting this election to do away with Party affiliation for all city and county office races... Everybodies getting so sick of the Party(s), that from what it sounds, it will pass with a landslide....

Heres some statistics from a News Max article on Independents- these are the people that put Reagan and Bush into office, along with the Republican Congress- which it appears has disillusioned them with only 25% of them still supporting it....

Independents questioned in the The Post-ABC News poll plan to support Democratic candidates over Republicans by roughly 2-to-1 — 59 percent to 31 percent — which the Post says is the largest margin in any Post-ABC News poll this year.

Forty-five percent told the pollsters that it would be good if Democrats recaptured the House majority, while 10 percent said it would not be. The rest said it would not matter.

Other findings:

Independents are highly pessimistic about the Iraq war and the overall state of the country. Just 23 percent said the country is heading in the right direction, while 75 percent said things have gone the wrong way.

Only 25 percent of independents approve of the job Congress has done this year.

Independent voters appear to be motivated more by dissatisfaction with Republicans than by enthusiasm for the Democrats. About half of those independents who said they plan to vote Democratic in their district said they are doing so primarily to vote against the Republican candidate rather than to show support for the Democratic candidate. Just 22 percent of independents voting for Democrats are doing so "very enthusiastically."

Was thinking about that paragraph during the night...Doesn't speak very highly of either party...Its sad when the voters know that neither side will listen or do anything anyway....

A good example is the immigration issue---70% of all US citizens want our borders shut and secure- and no amnesty for illegal immigrants.... And what do we get from our Congress and leaders- nothing more than smoke blowing... :mad: :(

Congress is trying to take the easy way out on immigration. We can all sympathize with mexican families wanting to make a living. What we can not sympathize with is the U.S. not having a policy with mexico that would allow them to do it in their rich native land. The mexican govt. is corrupt and thier society is still one where enormous wealth and power is concentrated in the hands of the few. This, and the lack of any type of social security in their country leads to great distress in some regions of their country. Unfortunately , instead of trying to change mexico, we are changing more into mexico's model where the one with the gold wins justice instead of the christian golden rule winning. Put on top, the abuse of the likes of meat packers that illegally hire and promote illegal immigration in the race in the concentration game where no penalties are assessed, we have a huge problem today.

So Social Security is Christian, learn something new every day.

No, it is a political solution to one of society's problems. David Kuo wrote a book on how the Christians were being used as a political tool to garnish votes and the Christian right's support. The republicans have used it well but it is hypocrtical.
