Re: Third party schisms would be a great thing for his country. The problem
Saul Relative: These special interest groups are the scourge of American national politics. They only care about one issue and disregard everyone and everything else. I agree with you, my friend.

Nautikos: Unfortunately for the United States, Hillary Clinton might win. Maybe I'll move north to Canada.

Enigmatic68: Maybe Ron Paul will run as an independent if he doesn't get the Republican nomination. On another candidate: I'm surprised that Duncan Hunter isn't gaining more support. What do you think of Hunter?

Re: WavyDavy:
Ex Turpi: If you agree with a candidate on 75% or more of his or her positions, you should vote for that candidate. I've been following politics since the 1980's and I haven't heard or seen a candidate that I agree with 100% of the time. He or she doesn't exist.

Re: W-D, If you go back a year or more you will see Mike Huckabee and Tom Vilsa
Kingmi: You're right about the Christian Coalition. They're fanatical and mean-spirited. They're also hypocritical.

Third party schisms would be a great thing for his country. The problem
is that they seem to be unsustainable, dying in their infancy. We're apparently a bipolar nation. Ya know, Wavy, I wrote on this
very subject the other day myself. These people are total asses. Like Frankenstein, these morons helped create the monster, and now they want to kill it.

I'm so glad I'm a Canadian, and can stay out of that debate. I don't really care who wins, as long as it ain't any of them Dems...

I want someone similar to Ronald Reagan - I am an agnostic - I want a right-wing, 3rd party candidate...

WavyDavy:
I must confess I do not know the presumed text of the amendment. But, I can almost predict it would not be adopted; and if adopted, would have to be repealed like the 18th. It is an impractical idea.
No candidate, right or left, can satisfy all the wishes of the disparate views of his party. There has to be some compromise. As far as I recall, or as I recall reading, former governor Huckabee is palatable to the group of which you allude. I think he would be less than sensible if he were to run as a third party candidate. Indeed. I am sure, he is more sensible than that.
In short, no one issue should define a candidate. In our plural system, the probability of that candidate winning is very low.

In my blogs as straight shooters. But for the Christian Moral Majority to try to dictate a candidate after destroying the GOP, I think they should run their own candidate. They will fall back into the obscurity they dealt from when Pat Roberts couldn't get himself elected dogcatcher.
