We have to put the blame where it belongs, in the mirror. - steven montross Fri, 12 Sep 2008 18:12:19 +0100 http://www.rcreader.com/commentary/republicans-the-party-that-should/#comment-1030 Shout out to the Reader on the campaignforliberty web page. Way to Go! - daddysteve Thu, 11 Sep 2008 20:38:59 +0100 http://www.rcreader.com/commentary/republicans-the-party-that-should/#comment-1029 The problem with the above commentary is that it continues the fantasy that all we have to chose between are Democrats and Republicans. Most states will have at least 3 or 4 independent and third party candidates on the ballot this year. I personally believe that if you want to vote for what the Republicans used to stand for the best vote this year is for Libertarian candidate Bob Barr. But we can only expect real change if people stop accepting that they have no choices. A vote for any third party candidate this year is better than a vote for the Republicrats or not voting. Which ever McSame wins, bad things are going to happen. Stand up sheeple! Stop doing the same thing year after year and expecting the results to be different (Einstein, you may recall, defined that as insanity). Take a stand. Just say no to the duopoly. - June Thu, 11 Sep 2008 19:30:57 +0100 http://www.rcreader.com/commentary/republicans-the-party-that-should/#comment-1028 Great article. To Madamerican, I say let's vote them out now and ask questions later. It is truly a shame that the last two candidates that ran on individual liberty (Goldwater and Paul) lost the election and the primaries by landslides, respectively. I would add that our main problem is a corrupted people. Madison said that he was more afraid of government acting on behalf of the will of the majority rather than against the will of the majority. Other than the war mongering, we get mostly what we demand - our small share of legal plunder - while the thieves keep the lion's share. We the people must stop demanding to plunder each other and turn that force toward government - in the end, politicians are weak. They will do what we demand if we demand the right things. No one wants to put responsibility on the people, but ultimately that is where it belongs. - Tom Mullen Thu, 11 Sep 2008 15:03:30 +0100 http://www.rcreader.com/commentary/republicans-the-party-that-should/#comment-1027 There was once a time... seems to be the key here. We need to hold both parties to the FIRE to be obedient to the articles of the Constitution. Let's ask the tough questions... Why don't you support the Constitution as it is written? Why don't you support open, transparent government? Where does it say in the Constitution that you have power to do... ? THEN... Vote them out if they can't give satisfactory answers. - MadAmerican Thu, 11 Sep 2008 12:22:54 +0100
