A third way...

I know that many reading this blog are focused on Mcain or Obama...but I am sure you are aware that there are other cadidates on your ballots, right? Like Chuck Baldwin & Darrell Castle; the Constitution Party nominees who are the only ones on the ballot endorsed by Ron Paul. Below are some quotes from various Third Party voices and founding fathers. These thoughts hit my "YES!" buttons and enflame my deeply held frustration with the Two Party system; that consistently marginalizes me more and more out of their camps.

"Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost."
- John Quincy Adam

"When asked why they will not vote for a third party candidate, many people will respond by saying something like, "He cannot win." Or, "I don't want to waste my vote." It is true: America has not elected a third party candidate since 1860. Does that automatically mean, however, that every vote cast for one of the two major party candidates is not a wasted vote? I don't think so. In the first place, a wasted vote is a vote for someone you know does not represent your own beliefs and principles. A wasted vote is a vote for someone you know will not lead the country in the way it should go. A wasted vote is a vote for the "lesser of two evils." Or, in the case of John McCain and Barack Obama, what we have is a choice between the "evil of two lessers." -Chuck Baldwin

"The issue is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself
or be ruled by a small elite."
-Thomas Jefferson

"If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our country men."
-Samuel Adams

They who are willing to sacrifice an essitial liberty for a little temporary security will lose both and deserve neither.
-Benjamin Franklin

The laws of man may bind him in chains or may put him to death, but then never can make him wise, virtous, or happy.
-John Quincy Adams

Albert Einstein is credited with saying that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result. For years now, Republicans and Democrats have been leading the country in the same basic direction: toward bigger and bigger government; more and more socialism, globalism, corporatism, and foreign interventionism; and the dismantling of constitutional liberties. Yet, voters continue to think that they are voting for "change" when they vote for a Republican or Democrat. This is truly insane!
-Chuck Baldwin

"The big challenge, however, is taking on the establishment, and the process that is so well entrenched. But we can’t beat the entrenched elite without the alliance of all those who have been disenfranchised....Ironically the most difficult group to recruit has been the evangelicals who supported McCain and his pro-war positions. They have been convinced that they are obligated to initiate preventive war in the Middle East for theological reasons. Fortunately, this is a minority of the Christian community, but our doors remain open to all despite this type of challenge. The point is, new devotees to the freedom philosophy are more likely to come from the left than from those conservatives who have been convinced that God has instructed us to militarize the Middle East."

Where is it written in the constitution that you may take children from their parents and compel them to fight the battles of any war in which the folly of government may engage? -Daniel Webster

REGARDING PRO-LIFE
They are candidates that are consistently Pro-Life...and will withdraw from Iraq...unlike Mcain and Obama.

"Republicans tout themselves as being "pro-life." Yet, the GOP controlled both houses of Congress and the White House for six years and did absolutely nothing to overturn Roe or end abortion-on-demand. If the Republicans were really serious about being pro-life the could have already ended legal abortion in America. Obviously the Republican Party and most GOP politicians are not serious about ending abortion, but are, regrettably, simply content to perpetuate the issue to manipulate pro-life voters."
-Chuck Baldwin
