It happened…I no longer can tell any of the three candidates apart.
McCain, Clinton and Obama are, for all intents and purposes, now the same person. My strong conservative nature had me hoodwinked into taking sides with McCain, but after seeing his new commercials on our “declining Health Care” and “Climate Crisis”, I believe he has gone to the dark side…the liberal side.
And Clinton and Obama are no different. They are both running on the exact same platform…the alleged “change” platform that is non-descript but just sounds good. The only difference between the two are the different levels of ineptness that their capmaign staffs have attained.
What’s a Conservative-Constitutionalist to do? Who do I turn to? The Libertarians have an attractive platform, but until they lose the pro-pot stance, no one will take them seriously.
Ralph Nader is always good for a laugh, but that’s it.
Then there’s some of the “Fringe Candidates.”
There’s always Dr. Mark Klein, a retired psychaitrist from California. As you can guess from his home state, his platform has Marxist overtones. But, he’s got a fun story.
There’s Jackson Kirk Grimes…I like him because he was an extra from a Star Trek episode…but, alas, he played Hitler in that role, and loved it so much that now he is a real Nazi.
How about Terry “Tee” Barkdull…retired military, a real go-getter. Although his statement on illegal immigration leads me to believe his finger wouldn’t be on the button, it would be taped to the button! “All Americans suffer because of the criminal. Then we suffer more with all the bleeding hearts that fell [sic] sorry for the criminal. Send them all to Mexico!!!”
I don’t know…Maybe I should run! “The Dork Platform!” All of my addresses to the nation would only be broadcast on the sci-fi channel. Bill Shatner would be my Secretary of Defense…
Ahhh…to dream.

I’m like you regarding the Libertarian Party. I, for one, get the feeling they are more libertine than libertarian. I may vote for their candidate anyway. In this upcoming presidential election any vote can be considered a ‘throw-away’ vote.
