Vote libertarian then, its like republicans only without the christian beliefs. I beg of you to vote 3rd party. Once a 3rd party gets 5% of the popular vote they are eligible for public financing.

The problem with the Libertarian party is you get wackos like Tim Eyman (tried to close public libraries and parks in Washington). I acknowledge the need for some socialism, too many of the Libertarian's want anarchy (still I would have voted for Ron Paul for president).

Hey I only vote libertarian because they have the best chance to get that 5% and all I need is them to make the other two parties get their shit together.

Btw for those that voted for the economy. The Iraq War and the economy are so tied together its not even funny. Deficit spending to finance has caused a weak dollar, which has wreaked havoc on our fuel prices which fuel no pun intended fuels our economy. Thus wreaking havoc on everything. Strengthen the dollar and things will get better.

Get on AIM every now and then and perhaps you'd be more sensitive to my dreams and desires

As a (partial) American living abroad, the Iraqi occupation is probably the most important issue to me at the moment. The worst part about it IMO is that I don't see any easy ways to fix the problem Bush started.

For me the biggest issue is Congress. So many of these issues could be rectified if they would only pull their heads out of their asses and vote for what's best. Instead they're doing whatever necessary to keep their overcompensated asses in office. Their is too much pressure, from the leadership of both parties, telling lawmakers that they better vote along party lines, nevermind their own beliefs or platforms they campaigned on.

On the subject of the economy. I was just reading this article about Greenspan saying that in early 2009 housing prices should stabilize.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080813/...y_greenspan_dc Aside from that, I found this interesting. Quote:

I would say other: my rights.
It seems the older I get the more of my rights, or what I see as my rights are impaired. I would vote libertarian if I thought that would help... but what would be the point? I think I won't even vote at all.... |
