We're not going to get them from the Democrap or Repulsican parties. That's because both parties are controlled by special interests of grifting and grafting government officers and officials and commercialists corrupting capitalism. While it is probably slightly slightly slightly true that the worst of the Repulsican candidates are better than the best Democrap candidates, none of them are worthy of holding any office of trust under the United States.
This election, perhaps like no other in American history, is ripe for a third party. Call it The Third Party, if the guys with that web site haven't officially registered that name. Call it something else that evokes a clear meaning to most, if not all, who hear the name, so they understand the basic premise of the name and of the party. That's where the Libertarians messed up even before picking the wrong issue to make their primary focus in 1971. Call it
The U.S. Individualist Party. Regardless of what it's called, it has to put forth a platform dealing with the specific few issues that really matter to America at this point in national and world history.
It will have to draw together the memberships and the leaders (who aren't really Repulsicans and Democraps with aspirations of personal political power) of a number of the seventy some existent 'third' parties and citizens' groups like Americans for Fair Taxation, LEAP, FIJA, The New Coalition, and The Minutemen. It will have to draft the few remaining Republicans and (as best as I can tell) the one Democrat presently serving in Washington, D.C. It will have to have the promotion of the talkers and the bloggers.
While keeping to basically conservative, Constitutional constructs, which will attract those people from those aforementioned parties and groups, as well as a broad cross section of Republicans, this party will have to appeal to rank and file Democrats, who would never vote for a Repulsican, but who know that their party has been sold out to socialists and fascists. This could be accomplished by a national billboard and direct mail campaign utilizing the simple text and graphics messages found on
The IP homepage: "Democraps? Repulsicans? They're the Same! Two Evils!!" and "Donkey Burgers and Elephant Steaks In 2008!" Of course, the Fair Tax logo and the party's first platform plank of "NO POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!" would always be prominent on all signs and mailers.
To be credible, this party would have to field 435 Congressional candidates. Some of these candidates would have to be presently serving Representatives and Senators who are fed up and finished with what their parties have become. Most would be private citizens already involved with some of these offshoot parties and/or citizens' groups. Most strongly targeted districts and states would be those presently represented by openly unAmerican socialists and fascists who call themselves Democrats. Next in line would be those seats presently held by Repulsicans who are not seeking reelection. Finally, but perhaps foremost, this party would have to contend against running incumbents who can be shown as Democrap or Repulsican party line hack career politicians.
So, who does this party run against Mormon Mitt and whichever of the two washed-up, has been, shyster, charlatan Southern ex-Senators who winds up on the left side of the ballot after Hitlary and Hussein bleed each out during the primary campaign and party convention? This candidate can not be someone who is going to appeal to just enough of the presently registered and regularly voting voters to swing the election from the Democrap to the Repulsican, as Nader did, or from the Repulsican to the Democrap, as Perot, and Anderson, and Teddy Roosevelt did. This person must be popular and principled enough to inspire enough of those aforementioned voters AND the throngs of unregistered and uninvolved citizens to vote en masse, so as to defeat both of the major party candidates for President, while creating a coattail effect in Congressional and Senatorial races. I nominate Secretary of State and General Colin L. Powell!
