My daughter says, "How could you possibly rant about third parties like that (see previous post) when your own brother is about to announce his candidacy as a third party candidate?."

I say, "I am not ranting about third parties-- just making a point. And if I were ranting, my third party rantings don't apply to local races-- only to Presidential elections. I am totally cool with my brothers candidacy."


PS My daughter wrote this post.

Can Third Parties Win???

I'm not convinced.

In President Obama's words "Let me be clear" I'm not talking about local races i.e.; congressional (we see this right now with Doug Hoffman in NY's 23rd District), senator's race and I'll add gubernatorial to the list although it may be tough it is possible. However, my concern is the future presidential race.

I know, I know, I know its a long way off and so many things can happen between now and then but ever since returning from the march in D.C. I've had opportunities to engage in great political conversations. Unfortunately, with each conversation the talk of voting for a third party presidential candidate came up. I reminded each person that NEVER has a third party presidential candidate EVER come close to winning an election and in fact, in at least one case, has cost one candidate the presidency. I asked that before making that decision, read "Liberty & Tyranny" and to give careful and more importantly prayerful consideration to their vote.

This morning while checking the news for the day I came across a clip of The Glenn Beck show discussing third parties. Again, I'm not against voting third party in local elections, case in point: the "Republican" Scozzafava and the Democrat running against her in NY's 23rd District, there is absolutely NO distinction between these two candidates and so we have Hoffman, a true conservative, running on the Independent line and I am hopeful that he can win his district and show republicans what type of candidate we want running. Although I'm not quite sure what Newt's thinking.

Anyway, about fifteen years ago I switched my voter registration card from Republican to Conservative out of principle. I wanted New York State to know that even though there may only be a few of us, WE ARE HERE.

Knowing that great minds think alike, I wasn't surprised to hear Rush talking today along these very same lines ; )

TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THIS RECORDING FROM 1961 OF RONALD REAGAN TALKING ABOUT SOCIALIZED MEDICINE....


The Democrats debate over healthcare has nothing to do with healthcare reform but EVERYTHING to do with massive government control over the American people.

I have been writing and calling my representatives and I hope you are too. I strongly believe that President Obama would gladly risk a re-election if could get this "Holy Grail" of liberal agendas passed.

Make your voices heard!!!!
