Where Do We Go From Here?

Posted by uncajake on March 13, 2008

Well, it has been several weeks since my last post. If you are keeping up with this, I apologize. No reason really, possibly depressed with the choices that we are down to. It is easy to fall into the “What’s the use?” mindset.

I have been doing some reading though, and watching the news. Politicians are starting to jockey for position now with Mitt Romney throwing his support behind John McCain, and just casually mentioning that he would not be against the idea of being the Vice Presidential Candidate on the Republican ticket. Hillary supporters are pointing out that Barrack is black, which came as a total shock to me, I thought he just had a great tan!

Yes, the fighting is getting more intense as the conventions loom closer and closer, yet no one has said anything of substance in this race. Or have they? It is possible that they have already brought everything they have to the table and laid it out for all to see. In other words, they don’t have anything to offer the American People. Has it gotten to the point that no one who is qualified and who has a vision of what this country can be is even interested in the job?

Personally, I am fed up with what I am seeing, and the more I think of it the more depressing it becomes. The one ray of light that I see is coming from a third party, the Libertarian Party. Typically, third parties don’t do well in our system, but that is also how parties evolve. When the two parties become so similar that you feel there is no difference in who you vote for it is time to examine what options are available.

Maybe it is time we looked at Wayne Allyn Root and his bid for the Presidency as the Libertarian Candidate. This is something that deserves a closer look.
