Imagine that

Who really thinks that any third party candidate will carry the day at the polls?

This is why Ron Paul has been trying to take back the Republican party from the neocons who run it and put it back into the hands of much more reasonable people (than bush, cheney, wolfowitz, etc).

I say make the tea baggers go rethug. Take THAT party back from those vile thugs who own it currently and are ruining our nation.

Imagine a constitutional government where all men (and women) are created (and treated) equally, where bankers don’t get the inside government track, where the poor and the rich have equal stake in government redress. Where religion is left to churches and synogogues rather than our national discourse. Where the bankers who steal our money get punished in our courts for the destruction they waged. Where the drug war ends.

Imagine.

Again, we have a more robust and honest platform than others, adn we stand for what we believe, which is a lot.

I just talked to Dean Barkleys campaign manager. Dean was on the road and offered the Tea Party group some warm talking points as an invitation. Allowing them to fill in the blanks on the talking points by turning it into a letter was probably a mistake…but that happens.

I am always perplexed by gamers out there. The method of getting elected is what kills reform. The only obstacle in the IP (a very big obstacle) is money. THere is not much of the clean variety to go around.

The only run on the IP is from more former Carlson Independent Republicans than usual (they have been coming for some time). There are conservative democrats too.

As far as what we believe in…pure federalism. We also stand for a priority pay down of the debt, elimination of NCLB, state (not federal) healthcare reform, government at the local level(but we are not afraid of actually doing government locally), social libertarianism, and government absolutely out of using our tax dollars for non-public related expenditures (aka, corporate subsidies, stadiums, and silly tax districts that never worked).

These are a handful of smart beliefs. They are only a small portion of the platform.

BTW- Deans’ comments were not actually completely his comments. Remarkable how this stuff takes off.

lol…I just had this image of Lieberman yucking it up with Jesse “The Body” Ventura. Get a clue, people. Get a freakin’ clue.

Of course, technically it shouldn’t be called a political party at all. It’s really just a pastime for Mr. Barkley.
