Your losing it !!!!

I have been paying little attention to the election cycle as of late since it seems quite evident the American people are willing to sell their souls for another four years of government rule. I became aware of something Rush Limbaugh has been doing since before the TX primary called Operation Chaos , in which Republican Party members were supposed to cross over and vote for Hillary. One reason of doing this would've been to make sure Hillary would become the nominee of the Democrat Party and with her baggage she should be able to be beaten by presumptive Republican nominee John McCain.

As of late I have listened to Rush to hear him proclaim victory for this Operation Chaos but I fail to see that Hillary is any closer to Barack Obama then when Rush started this goofy scenario. In order to proclaim victory one must be winning at something unless we employ the republican strategy of saying we are winning when in all reality just the opposite is true. Keep repeating the same false statement and eventually many will believe it is true. This seems to be quite similar to the "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" mantra applied to President Bush during his photo op on the flight deck of a Navy carrier after the Iraq invasion.

Rush has clearly slid way down the slippery slope since when he first got his start at KFBK, Sacramento, CA. He has become a shell for the republican party instead of standing up for what is right.

Could Bob Barr’s Run as Libertarian Doom McCain?

Once more the elitist still believe that a voter is a mind numb robot and they are going to cast a ballot for McCain if Bob Barr isn't in the race just like the other side will proclaim that Ralph Nader will lampoon Barack Obama's chance of getting elected.

As per this article if Ron Paul were not in the primary McCain by caveat would have earned that 35 million. I respect George Will as a man and columnist but in this column he is quite the buffoon.

The reason why Bob Barr could get enough votes to scare the elite is because the elite have been exactly what they believe themselves to be ELITIST !!!

People don't trust the two party system, at least the people that think for themselves don't, and therefore we will either vote for an individual which best represents our views but we won't hold our noses to vote for the lessor evil in any election.

1. Could Bob Barr’s Run as Libertarian Doom McCain?

Former Republican Rep. Bob Barr is seen as the Libertarian Party’s most likely presidential candidate — and he could wind up torpedoing John McCain’s White House hopes.

“Given the recent fundraising prowess of a kindred spirit — Ron Paul's campaign for the Republican nomination siphoned up $35 million, mostly off the Internet — libertarians are feeling their oats,” political analyst George F. Will writes in Newsweek.

“Come November, Barr conceivably could be to John McCain what Ralph Nader was to Al Gore in 2000 — ruinous.”

Nader was a weak third-party candidate and won only 2,882,955 popular votes nationwide, but 97,488 of them were in Florida — where, because of Nader, George W. Bush won by 537 votes, Will notes.

Shane Cory, the Libertarian Party's executive director, “thinks his party is upwardly mobile,” Will writes.

“In 2004, its presidential candidate received just 397,265 votes, a mere .32 percent of the national popular vote…

“But in no state was the Libertarian vote larger than the winning candidate's margin of victory. This year, however, Cory thinks the party can far surpass its best national performance — 921,299 votes in 1980.”

Cory and Barr say the party almost certainly will be on the ballot in at least 48 states.

Republican consultant Craig Shirley recently wrote: “This Libertarian thing may be bigger than anyone is foreseeing right now.”

Barr left the GOP in 2006 over what he called bloated spending and civil liberties intrusions by the Bush administration.

A former U.S. attorney in Atlanta, Barr served eight years as a Republican congressman from Georgia before losing his seat in 2002 after a redistricting.

A Barr run for the White House would be handicapped by “John McCain's handiwork,” Will added.

“One wealthy libertarian would give $1 million if the McCain-Feingold law regulating political participation did not ban contributions of more than $28,500 to national parties.

But Will concludes: “If libertarian voters cost McCain the presidency, that will be condign punishment.”

Matt Blunt for V.P.

Yes I said Matt Blunt for Vice President. If John McCain truly wants to be elected he needs to pull from a stronger field of candidates for the second slot. McCain has ONE strong point and that is his stance on never asking for an earmark and trying to end such foolishness.
I'll have other people disagree with that statement but this is my blog. I don't support his stance on Iraq and I don't support us being over there to build a nation, or to create a democracy, or the host of other lame @$$ excuses used by this administration.

Our next president will be in a very HOT seat as our government has created financial turmoil which is going to last quite a long time and even longer if government doesn't allow for companies to fail. In what position would we as a nation be in if the taxpayers still had to financially support the buggy whip industry??

People fail at starting businesses and likewise businesses need to be allowed to fail no matter how it works out. Government shouldn't be the arbiter of which companies fail and which succeed.

Matt Blunt has done a very good job of running the state of Missouri and has even mentioned he won't be running for reelection to the state top spot which leave him ample time to seek the number two position. Personally I won't vote for John McCain since I abhor his big government stances, but with a very liberty oriented VP it could help his chances to get elected

Started with 11 now there are 4

Ron Paul What isn't to like about a man that understands the constitution. I could list all his faults except he doesn't have any when in come to policy and politics. His name recognition has been lacking as most mainstream media outlets, both liberal left and conservative right, avoid his name because a true patriot scares the hell out of Washington DC and most people that follow politics. Lobbyist and moochers alike despise the man for his hardcore stances that defend the Constitution to a fault.

John McCain to say this man is a socialist will get me in lots of trouble since he is a war hero. I respect the man for his service in the military, I abhor his service in the Senate. The man proclaims to be for national security but yet he is willing to allow anyone to walk across our border and seek government benefits. He has squelched the voices of many Americans with his campaign finance reform bill, which should be called protect the incumbents job act. No matter what the excuse he wants to use he voted NO on allowing Americans to keep more of what they make. Government calls it a taxcut, McCain seems to believe he more than I is entitled to the money I earn. Is a co-conspirator in trying to keep a large percentage of the population scared to death by following the mantra of the extremist terrorist are out to get us. Keep in mind that Art IV Sec IV requires the federal government to defend this nation a task of which they failed on 9/11/01

Rudy Guilani dropped out and endorsed the socialist John McCain, like we didn't see that coming.

Mike Huckabee the man that raised taxes more in AR then even Bill Clinton, is now trying to act like a person of the people with his endorsement of the FairTax. His biblical beliefs have me a little worried because from what I've seen the Southern Baptist tend to be a little on the fringe. Isn't a supporter of national security as his policies on illegal immigration point out. He just like McCain fit the typical idea of a "conservative", which is someone that remains pleased with the status quo.

Mitt Romney Has all the characteristics of the status quo politician. I respect his business mind and I respect his faith, however I'm not comfortable with a man that doesn't see any problem with the size and scope of government getting even larger. His stances on many issues has me believing he is very similar to Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.
