What's interesting, is this comment reflects your selective reading tendencies. I have blogged repeatedly on my proposed strategies for the LP, and those strategies focus on 2006, rather than 2008. The reason being is that it is crucial for the parety to make a statement by running strong and obtaining winnable seats to

You make it sound like the government can just snap it's fingers and make jobs appear. The Bush administration does a good job of making it seem like they can appear. Is this another in a line of people saying the President can't really effect the economy. Tell me how control over $3

Just more of the same for Republicans. They run news stories that are actually produced by the government. They secretly pay commentators to get their word out. Now they stuff this blogger into the press corps so that when the press secretary runs into a hard question he can call on good old Jeff who will throw him a soft toss to knock out of the park. Add this to their stand of pre sweeping audiences that could hear the president speak during

Whoman, frankly, you are one of the WORST representatives of your party. You have in many ways shown EXACTLY why I want NOTHING to do with the Democratic Party whatsoever. Perhaps you would prefver if I voted Republican? Go ahead vote your conscience then. But in many elections a primary is held to lim

To make the electoral college based upon a % of votes would be folly. The only thing it would do is to make sure that every state splits their votes down the middle and that candidates will never be able to claim a mandate. A more representative system would be like the one used in Nebraska and Maine where each congressional district vote is up for grabs and the overall winner takes the other two. The overall result would be pretty close to what it

Whoman69, you like to keep beating that drum, (and actually, you do a pretty good job with it), however, you forget that in the 1996 election in Utah, the Democrats were the 3rd party because Clinton took 3rd place with that state's popular vote. Your information is incorrect. In 1996 Clinton picked up

Social security wouldn't have any problems if 25% were not stolen by Congress every year to pay for their pork.

Tell me there was no backlash from the huge deficits. The fact that we pay so much into the interest on the deficit is the thing that tanked the economy under Bush Sr. I also like your revisionist history. Clinton did nothing to reduce the deficit, but the deficit under Dubyah is Clinton's fault. Whatever.

Personally, anytime the government is getting less of my money, its a good thing. Also, remember that a good deal of the interest on the debt is paid into the Social Security "fund" from which the money was borrowed. There is no "fund" or pile of money waiting to pay retirees, it is simply full of IOUs from Uncle Sam. The US gove

Hillary Clinton would polarize the right to vote in even higher numbers than they voted against Kerry. She is the poster child for everything the right hates, and its a long list. She is additionally a horrible public speaker. The only person that could be a worse pick would be Condi Rice. She would have no support from the Southern Republican base, has no experience in elected office, has no knowlege on domestic issues, has lied before Con

Let's take count now. We have a Libertarian calling Democrats extreme. They have a platform that the government should do nothing except promote inidividual freedoms. Its such a popular movement, they got almost 1% of the vote. If they could have only changed the minds of another 60 million people, they could have won. Darn so close. Tell me again why your vote for Bednarik was any more important than writing in Mickey Mouse? They had about an e

There has been a comparison of the trouble the Democratic party is in currently to that of the Republican problems after 1964. A more apt comparison would be 1976. The margin of victory both electorally and in the popular vote was about the same. Carter had 50.1% of the popular vote and 297 EC compared to 48% and 240 votes for Ford with a faithless voter going to Reagan instead of Ford. The Democrats increased their lead in Congress due to backlash

The only thing it does it take away the states rights. What will it do to states that wish to protect their citizens against fraud? It emasculates the better business bureau and state attorneys general.

I believe that we did point out how we would do things better, but it was blown off by the media and that left us vulnerable to counter by the Republicans. Which sells more newspapers, long boring explainations or to watch the attacks begin.

I agree with much of what you said, except the last part. Third party candidates are important because the two established parties are the same! To someone who is a libertarian, they probably do seem the same. They have vast differences, hence the infighting going on right now. Unless the libertarians
