Ken, I agree with you. I'm not a religious person and I don't want to see it mixed into government like Dems and Repubs do.
I want a government that follows our Constitution as closely as possable with regards to trade, border security, wars, spending.
I'm just sick and tired of the Dems and Repubs.
The U.S. Taxpayer is getting screwed at every turn by them not by The Constitution Party or any other Party.

I rarely post on politics, but I wanted to echo the folks (Sinergy, PlayfulOne, others) who called out Popeye for gay-bashing (and Popeye can serve here as a stand-in for the entire Republican leadership).  What does Foley's sexual preference matter?  For that matter, what does his alcoholism and his "I was abused during childhood" claim matter?  He is a hypocrite of the first order and a liar.  The fact that he is trying to wrap himself in a "poor little victim me" flag and some are letting him get away with it is the issue.  The other issue of course is that the Republican House leadership apparently knew about this "problem" for a year or so, and did nothing.  Because they desperately wanted to save the seat in a difficult election.

Popeye,

The issue that several people asked, that you side stepped by claiming to onbly be the messenger, was why you felt the need to toss his being gay into the fray.  Your failure to address that has lead many to believe it was an attempt at gay bashing.

You took a dig at anyone who may not have your idea of God.  I asked a simple question, Do you understand why "In God We Trust" is on the money and why "Under God" is in the Pledge?  You side stepped that also, so one would have to believe your just tossing out digs at people and the statment about Foley being gay are in the same vein.
That type of charge made against something so inocuous reeks of the tactics of the Politically Correct Goosesteppers.
I wonder if Emporer would make the same charge if I said that Foley "was Alcholic".
He then goes on to say that I can represent the Republican contingent when I have stated repeatedly in this site that I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat but an Independant "Not Declared" voter.
It would seem that the Republicans have no advantage on smear tactics.

Yep, there is no difference between the Republicans and Democrats.

I mean it isn't like you can say Raygun Bush and Bush ran the deficit sky high and a Democrat ran it the other way.

It isn't like you can say Republican invade oil rich countries like Somalia and Iraq but get offended if someone invades a country just to stop genocide.

It isn't like you can say Republicans are willing to do anything to get elected and would even cheat if that would help.

It isn't like you could say Republicans would turn a blind eye while our country was attacked and then use it as a political hammer to beat their policies down our throat.

Anybody who thinks the Democrats are saints is a fool, anyone who can't see the difference between Democrats and Republicans is intellectually lazy and is rationalizing that laziness.

Politics is an ugly business and has been since the civic leaders poisoned their first critic.  That still doesn't prevent the truth in the fact that all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

Thanks to all of those on all sides who actually work for what they believe in, there is real integrity in that.

I am patriotic enough, but after that you will have to kill me... seriously.

What a bunch of whiners.  "throw them all out" "our current system sucks" "the two parties are the same" etc.

What the fuck did any of you do in the last six months politically?  Did you donate time or money to a candidate?  Did you walk a precinct or man a phone bank?

You want decent candidates, then get off your fat asses and go support one.  The reason we get shitty candidates is because we have shitty lazy voters who wait till the last minute to pop their heads up, they read a couple articles the week before and go and vote, if they even bother voting.

We get shitty candidates because people want to believe you can lower taxes and fight a war or that government is the solution to every problem.  There ARE candidates out there who don't try and feed us pablum but WE in the collective sense don't vote for them.

Over the last six months I have donated money, volunteered, spoke to people, attended rallies, held signs, held house parties to raise money and awareness.  What have YOU done?  I don't say that to toot my own horn, it is simply a challenge to do more.

I got to shake hands with a man I have never even seen in person before, Wesley Clark.  I worked for him in '04 and spent days calling people in every early primary.  He may, and I hope he does, run in 2008 and I will again work for him.  That is how it works, it is a long term battle and you don't always win today but the goal is to win more and more.

So whatever party you support, get out there and help the best of them get elected to local office, then state and finally federal.  Don't expect success the first year, politics is a long term game.
