There’s even a place where his constitutants can write to him and ask questions. I’m sure if you or someone you know is in that district, you can get a hold of him and ask!

Anyway…..

Thanks for clearing that up, MrsLady. That does make me feel better. Here in Texas we had 3 people running as Independents for governor last year, and none of them had a chance even though they were all well publicized. I’ll definitely be checking out Ron Paul.

I love a good clean debate/discussion!

I was interested in Obama too for a minute, but then I had to ask myself-except for being a black man, how does he differ from Hillary Clinton? Their stated policies are very similar. And while I would agree that Hillary is as scary as it gets, I think that Obama would only be the luke-warm version of the same cup of tea. After all, they are both active in the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) which I believe does some pretty bad things.

I am always happy to hear other people’s opinions as long as everyone keeps it a clean and fair fight

Ron Paul. I’ll have to check him out. Thanks for the tip!

I, myself, am a huge Barrack Obama fan. Love him.

Hillary Clinton scares the living bejesus out of me and I wouldn’t leave my chia pet alone with her, I don’t think. I feel like she’s out to prove that women can do this too! WOMEN CAN DO THIS TOO DAMNIT! WOMEN CAN! WE CAN! SEEEEE! It’s a little much for me.

Mitt Romney. He’s a Mormon. I used to be Mormon. That’s interesting. He’s a flip flopper and he won’t give a stance on Iraq.

I predict that whoever lights a fire under our burrowed behinds and pulls us on out of Iraq, will win. And good.

This is fun to come over to your site and pick political fights!

Good news, however! He is actually running for GOP nomination, not under the Liberetarian or Independant category. On one hand, that means I am going to have to register Republican, which I never thought in a thousand years I’d do. BUT in this circumstance I think it will be worth it!

Again, thanks for asking the question that I’m sure everyone will want to know. I am going to edit the post itself to add this information in there!

“The war in Iraq was sold to us with false information. The area is more dangerous now than when we entered it. We destroyed a regime hated by our direct enemies, the jihadists, and created thousands of new recruits for them. This war has cost more than 3,000 American lives, thousands of seriously wounded, and hundreds of billions of dollars. We must have new leadership in the White House to ensure this never happens again.

Both Jefferson and Washington warned us about entangling ourselves in the affairs of other nations. Today, we have troops in 130 countries. We are spread so thin that we have too few troops defending America. And now, there are new calls for a draft of our young men and women.

We can continue to fund and fight no-win police actions around the globe, or we can refocus on securing America and bring the troops home. No war should ever be fought without a declaration of war voted upon by the Congress, as required by the Constitution.

Under no circumstances should the U.S. again go to war as the result of a resolution that comes from an unelected, foreign body, such as the United Nations……At the same time, we must not isolate ourselves. The generosity of the American people has been felt around the globe. Many have thanked God for it, in many languages. Let us have a strong America, conducting open trade, travel, communication, and diplomacy with other nations.”

Found you through RIMD, but I think I’ve come upon your site before….mind if I share my thoughts?

First, I totally agree with your stance on all the issues. And I agree with you that the group from which we have to pick (so far) for our next president is not one that gives me confidence in the direction our country is taking. If I had to vote today, I think I would just sit down in the floor and cry because I can’t NOT vote, but I don’t think I can vote for any of the current candidates (although, I need to take a closer look at Romney).

However, I’m not sure how I feel about voting Libertarian or Independent. I would love to vote for anyone that shares all of my beliefs and values. But don’t you feel that your vote is going to be wasted or that it won’t matter if you vote for an Independent or Libertarian? I know, I know, you could at least say afterward (when the administration and/or the country fall apart) that you voted. But did your vote change anything? Do you think that an Independent or Libertarian could actually get enough votes behind him (or her) to come close to winning?

Anyway, I’m certainly not trying to debate with you…how productive would that be since I agree with you?;) I just don’t think I could vote outside of Republican or Democrat unless I knew without a doubt that an Independent or Libertarian might actually win.

Thanks for your thoughts and for encouraging moms to get involved…we are a force to be reckoned with and we could turn this election around!!
