SOOOO Glad you posted that petition. I signed: Thank you for signing this petition.
You may wish to tell your friends about this campaign.

I hope that a site like this will help soldify the unity of third party voters enough to get a conservative in the debates.The Web will make it easier to COMMIT to a third party because voters will be able to affiliate & unify pre-election day and have a real sense that their vote will count

Republicans are basically telling Conservatives, vote liberal or your a traitor to the party.

After the raping of our Constitution that we've sufferered under liberals like G.W., I will never vote for a CFR-agenda candidate again, so that pretty much rules out the establishment Republican candidate.

Gee.... For some reason, I just don't give a darn.

Incidentally, I note for the record that the position of Pope Benedict XVI, Bishop of Rome, is the same as that of Congressman Ron Paul on the subject of Iraq (indeed, if anything, the Peop's anti-war position is more strongly worded):

As a Cardinal, the new pope was a staunch critic of the U.S. led invasion of Iraq. On one occasion before the war, he was asked whether it would be just. "Certainly not," he said, and explained that the situation led him to conclude that "the damage would be greater than the values one hopes to save." "All I can do is invite you to read the Catechism, and the conclusion seems obvious to me..." The conclusion is one he gave many times: "the concept of preventive war does not appear in The Catechism of the Catholic Church."

Ergo, I shall now apply your words against Congressman Paul with Pope Benedict XVI substituted:

What the Successor of the Prince of the Apostles did years ago does not sanitize his current anti-American paleopantytwaistism... I don't know what motivates your delusions on this but I had a bellyful once and for all with antiwar traitors of the left during the Vietnam War and I see no reason whatsoever to make exceptions for the likes of the Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Pope Benedict XVI just because they are Catholics in Name Only when they ally themselves with the pro-Islamofascist and antiAmerican antiwar left... You can repost your delusions as often as you please but your repetitions will not change the fact that the Vicar of Christ is a paleowhatever who has allied with the antiAmerican antiwar left even if he poses as a "Catholic" in the process.

If you really meant what you said about Ron Paul's position on Iraq, we must presume that you mean the same about Pope Benedict XVI (with his identical, or even more anti-war, position on Iraq). I guess you were really an SSPX Sedevacantist all along, eh, BlackElk??

Peop's

Ahem. "POPE's".

Speaking of polls, RP is gaining in FR's current poll, too.

Paul is ahead this week, too.

Ron Paul is a superpatriot along the line of Senator Robert Taft - an early conservative critic of the American globalism interventionism - which the rest of the world despises - started by Woodrow Wilson.

Spend and tax, and spend and tax, and spend on a bigger war and tax more. . . . .IS NOT CONSERVATIVE. -— Instead, it is exactly how Al-Qaeda and terrorists eventually . . . . painfully. . . . slowly. . . . cause the great American imperialists to defeat themselves. You be foolish to even entertain the thought that it will make America really STRONG to day by day piss away their fortune and even more lives in Iraq !

Ron Paul would put the majority of troops on the border that really matters - - - in California, Arizona, and Texas to thwart the exponential increase of New Mexicans.

Is Paul not a libertarian? If not, why was he their presidential candidate in 1988 (in effect assisting Dukakis in the two-party race for president)? Libertarians might detract more of the Democrat-Independents and Undecided voters away from a Democratic candidate -. Libertarians joining with the GOP are an unbeatable combination against anyone - Hilary - Obama - Edwards etc., although Biden may have some Libertarian passion and blood in him.

[BlackElk]

What Biden is more likely to have than libertoonianism is a lingering drinking problem from his days as a brainless frat boy drunk at Notre Dame. Biden does not rise even to the level of Libertoonian.

Libertoonians offer to the immature (such as followers of the late serial adulterer Ayn Rand/now there is a cause to die for!/NOT) a hopeless dream that excuses them from reality and from most forms of morality other than ones involving fraud or dishonesty in financial dealings. The underlying theme seems to be the Sangerian notion that charity (charity/not even taxation) is cruelty because it prolongs the lives of the poor who need to die (according to Sanger).

A combination of libertoonianism and conservatism is possible only if the libertoonians give up their insistence on amorality on most issues. We may be heading for a general political re-evaluation of whether libertoonian insistence on materialism does not cost conservatives more than it gains. A credible but minimal adjustment toward a voluntary sense of community and emphasis on strictly voluntary but increased concern for poor (but socially conservative) folks would be a more effective path than being continually embarrassed by alliance with those who are forever fretting about their stock portfolios and their insistence on ignoring the evil that abound beyond our borders.

Robert Taft the Elder dropped his resistance to war at about the same moment that Tojo's minions dropped their bombs on our Navy at Pearl Harbor. He also expressed, after WWII, a preference for US foreign policy oriented toward the Third World which, unlike Europe, had never had freedom or capitalism but had also never rejected either and might yet develop both.

No abortion or homosexuality loving Demonrat is going to vote Libertarian as though that might improve the influence of babykilling or of putting things where they do not belong. Even Demonrat pacifist cowards know better than to think that paleopantywaistism offers them more than do the Demonrats. Libertoonians, like everyone else, will eliminate if they eat regular.

These are good points.
