Russo, whose films have won three Golden Globes, believes he can get a million voters to contribute $100 each.

Highly doubtful.

“George Bush talks about the "Axis of Evil." I am much more afraid of the four pillars of Fascism ... Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Ashcroft.”

-- Joke-candidate Aaron Russo.

I like Medved's name for this party:

Losertarians.

Unlikely. Being a freeloader carping on the sidelines is what Libertarianism is all about.

The LP garnered less than 100,000 votes in 2000, and this clown thinks he can get 1 million people to part with $100? Sure.

Is winning or losing elections really the measure of the merit of one's principles?

Me thinks this site viewers should take a look here:

The Constitution Party is the only party which is completely pro-life, anti-homosexual rights, pro-American sovereignty, anti-globalist, anti-free trade, anti-deindustrialization, anti-unchecked immigration, pro-second amendment, and against the constantly increasing expansion of unlawful police laws, in favor of a strong national defense and opposed to unconstitutional interventionism.

Most everyone I know who voted for Bush in 2000 is disgusted with him.

However, one of the biggest reasons is his cuddling up to Fox and failing to notice the fact that we are under attack from Mexico.

The Libertarians advocate open borders.

How stupid is that?

If you don't get into politics to win and change things, then you should get out of the way! Most people do not enter a race to come in dead last or close -- they enter to win.

Guess with your analogy, football should play for 2nd place and not worry about winning.

That's the problem with 3rd Party people and why they go nowhere -- they are willing to settle for a very, very small piece of the pie and the only affect they have is electing someone who is not close to their way of thinking by helping the opposition.

Shame you cannot see that standing on principle without support gets you nowhere. You change from within by electing conservatives at the local level and eventually we will make the change all the way up. By supporting 3rd Party people that only get in the race to earn money to live, you are supporting people who have no chance of making a change but like to hear themselves talk!

In this case, electing John Kerry is not standing on principle -- it is shortsighted and foolish.

Why don't you go read the platform for the Libs and come back and tell us how much you agree with?

Libertarians: Open borders wackos, Potheads and their enablers, Anarchists with money, Isolationists!

Not a real winsome platform committee if you ask me.

In...Wisconsin, the 2002 Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Ed Thompson garnered about 185,000 votes, a startling 10.5 percent.

Ed Thompson was and is an idiot. Exceeded only by the 185,000 voters who confused his name with Tommy Thompson, our beloved former governor who had stepped down to go to Washington and work for President Bush.

More divide and conquer the right garbage from the Bush-haters at CBS. Let's see how many here ask CBS how high they should jump?

When you wish upon a star...

No wonder CBS is dead last in the news department.
