Democrats are not revolutionaries - Both parties can kiss my ass

If Obama wasn't black would there be so much excitement about him?

Let me just get this out there. I'm NOT voting for Barack Obama. Of course, I'm not voting for John McCain either. I'm going to vote for whichever third party candidate catches my fancy on election day.

Even more important, I'm voting against EVERY single incumbent in Congress up for election in my district, which I think is a far more important task than voting for President. Lest we forget, it is Congress that legislates.

You want change? Finish: Democrats are not revolutionaries - Both parties can kiss my ass

Get immunized before going to NASCAR!

Democrat and Republican staffers attending NASCAR events must first be immunized against Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, tetanus, diphtheria, and influenza?

"I have never heard of immunizations for domestic travel, and as the representative for Concord, North Carolina, I feel compelled to ask why the heck the committee feels that immunizations are needed to travel to my hometown," Mr. Hayes, a Republican, said in a letter to Rep. Bennie Thompson, Mississippi Democrat and committee chairman.

Wow! I've never been to a NASCAR event, but I certainly wouldn't be worried about my immunizations if I went to such an event. Someone needs a good kick in the ass.

Rate the idiot that came up with this idea.

Vote Against ALL Incumbents in 2008?

Could Congress be any more inept?

For decades, maybe forever, politicians have been engaged in a divisive, bitter partisan debate. Consequently, the Party has become more important than the people. Ironically, however, neither Party fully represents the majority of the People and neither party ever will represent the majority of Americans.

Thus, the people - the voters - have bounced like a ping-pong ball back-and-forth between the Democrats and Republicans, disappointment after disappointment.

Isn't it time to break out of this rut? To try something different? That's the point of the 2008 Vote Against Incumbents Campaign.

For decades incumbency has been like a plague in Congress. Why not challenge this status quo and vote out not just a few incumbents, but ALL incumbents?

Really, could Congress get much worse than an 11 percent approval rating?

Rate the idea of voting against incumbents.

A new third party Christian group?

A Third Party based on abortion?

"Alarmed at the chance that the Republican party might pick Rudolph Giuliani as its presidential nominee despite his support for abortion rights, a coalition of influential Christian conservatives is threatening to back a third-party candidate in an attempt to stop him." (NYTimes)

Generally, I support the idea of Third Parties, but this one has me stumped. In most cases, I think Third Parties should be about a different way of doing things, particularly a way that isn't so funded by lobbyists. However, a Third Party largely based upon one issue, such as abortion, seems like a bad idea.

While I believe that abortion is tragic, I do believe it is also a woman's choice.

Despite my opinions about abortion, a Third Party driven by abortion also seems stupid. How would dividing the Republican Party and guaranteeing that a pro-abortion rights Democrat becomes President accomplish the Conservatives goals? Ultimately, anti-abortion Christians do not represent a majority of America, and nothing is going to change that.

I wish Christians didn't make abortion their primary political concern because I think it ostracizes them from the rest of society, but standing up for your beliefs is hard to argue against.
