Pete, how would you suggest that we vote for a candidate not of the
Rep or Dem party? I found myself disgusted with both major
candidates, so how do you suggest doing this? How do we break the
hold the two totally corrupt parties have on the nation by voting in
someone else? We got close with Perot.


Unfortunately, close doesn't count. We have to find better people to
run for office, and make sure they don't have a million skeletons in
their closet. How about requiring a top secret clearance before someone
can run for any office? That would scare the **** out of 99.99% of
potential candidates.

That would also reduce our chances to Slim and Fat.

What is going to have to be done, is much better job of explaining
the issues. As in "Right now, Congress has done Robin Hood one
better. They've robbed from the young and unborn, to give to the
Middle Aged and Seniors."

"I'm not spending my kids inheritance, I'm spending the
inheritance that the kids think they are going to be leaving for the
grand kids."

"If the government can decide how much fat or salt is allowable in
the food you buy, or how large the soft drink may be sold - why should
it also decide with whom you may have sex, and when?"

"IF the government is going to pay for your college, shouldn't
they get to decide what classes you'll take?"
.... why can't they pay for my car? ... my house? Vacation home
in the Bahamas?

Question for the gun Control advocates, "Do you agree with
this statement?"
"I would rather have a society without guns, even if it
means that people cannot defend themselves against murder
(with other weapons), rape, robbery, and assault. I would
rather make everyone defenseless than have to endure the
mass shootings that occasionally occur. If that means that
many more people, (particularly the old, the weak, and the
infirm) are subjected to these violent crimes, then so be
it. They'll just have to suffer more. I do claim the power
to dictate whether or not others are able to defend themselves."
