Changing The Process, Obama's Failure

Independent Party nothing but a spoiler.


Remember Ross Perot?
I do!
I voted for Ross Perot and elected Bill Clinton!

Our Republican Party has a lot of trash to throw out.
John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Ben Nelson, Susan Collins & Olympia Snowe

I wish the GOP would do the same to them that the DNC did to Joe Lieberman.

If you think the Independent Party is an answer then you need to spend a few hours watching them on CSPAN.
Under normal conditions they vote with Democrats every time.
Present TEA Parties & DC Demos may have caused temporary change but under normal circumstances you will not be able to tell the Independent from the Leftist Democrat.

The Independent Party has just as much trash to take out as the Republican Party and it would be a futile task anyway because all it is good for is to cancel out otherwise Republican votes.

Republicans have already started cleaning both Houses!

I understand your concerns about third party voting, but I must disagree. The two major parties have achieved a level of corruption that I feel is totally unacceptable.

Both parties now seek only power and the constant back and forth of this power struggle is destroying the nation. We must move beyond doing the same thing, voting the lesser of two evils, and then expecting a different result.

The solution is not simply voting third party, although that is important. If 'we the people' start putting other parties at the table, we will begin to make changes as the two corrupt majors will have to contend with view points of people they do not control.

Even more importantly, we must now actually enter the arena ourselves and begin running for office, specifically the House. There is no future for freedom with either of the two majors and to think so is, in my opinion, wishful thinking. Our founding fathers envisioned citizen legislators, not career politicians. By running for office, we will be implementing that strategy and it is the best route to restoring Constitutional self government and reclaiming our stolen inheritance.

Thanks, Joe
