Third party candidates without any real base other than right wing
libertarians and such, have no real appeal as most people have learned. It
is simply an exercise in futility to vote for an independent.
The only positive thing is to claim you didn't vote for the Democratic or
Republican candidate.
Why waste your time on this type of exercise. Many people who voted for
Ross Perrot probably would not have voted for Clinton or Bush.
Ralph Nader was given credit for Bush winning in 2000 but had Gore not
acted foolishly on TV in front of millions during the debate, and let the
Hollywood crowd advise him he would have won.
Hillary and Obama will put their best face on and announce sup****t for
whichever one emerges as the winner, but the damage has been done.
As I said earlier, and Geraldine Ferraro repeated it Yesterday, Obama
would
have never been heard of if he weren't Black. He has never accomplished
anything other than being able to speak with the same clarity as millions
of everyday white males.
I voted against the war, is a foolish platform to run for president on.
He is the poster child of the radicals on the left, blacks, and the
Democratic power structure controlled by the pro black liberals and blacks
which will lose once again to another idiot, like John McCain.
