"I wont vote a 3rd party only because they never win and I do not want to do anything that will help Obama get in the white house."

If you want to make any difference at all. If you want to your vote to have any effect on the DNC at all, then voting third party is your only real option.

Why?

Because that is the only thing that the DNC and the superdelegates fear. It is no accident that the DNC pushed for Obama to win. And it is also no mistake that the RNC pushed for McCain to win despite concerns from the Republican base.

The major parties recognized the trend. Voters have been registering independent in record numbers over the past few years. People are finally getting tired of the major parties. Thus, this primary season was an attempt by both major parties to win back all of those voters that registered independent. They are moving to head off a perceived threat.

The DNC and the superdelegates want Obama to win. You can count on that. However, they are willing to stick with Obama no matter what, even if they think that he will lose. They think that this is best for the party, long term.

The superdelegates will work to get Obama elected. But, at the end of the day. They still have their comfy job. The DNC doesn't want Democrats to vote for McCain. But, they aren't that scared about it. They figure that the strong majprity of Democrats will keep voting Democratic most of the time in the future. Who else are they going to vote for?

It is only by challenging the superdelegates own seats and making it clear to the DNC that you hav other choices in the future.

The DNC wouldn't be playing games with delegates or giving uncommitted votes to their favorite candidate if they didn't take Democratic voters for granted. They simply aren't worried that Hillary voters will go anywhere. They assume that they will eventually all fall in line.

While some say voting third party is a wasted vote, I say voting for the two major parties is a wasted vote. Are you really going to change anything by voting for them.

If you want phony change, then vote Obama.

If you want your vote to really count for change. If you want meaning behind your vote, then vote third party. If not ours, then another one.

Yes. The NAIP is fielding a Presidential ticket.

PRESS RELEASE: HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTERS GO THIRD PARTY by Michael Thompson

Robert,

The New American Independent Party is neither an independent body or the standard political party. We are a bit of a hybrid. We don't call ourselves independent. We are more like a team or a movement.

We generally recruit independent candidates, not from within the party. That way we get new ideas and new energy. These independent candidates do need to share many of our basic platform views. We do differ with both the Republican and Democratic parties on many levels. But, we also connect to many of those Reagan Democrats, now Hillary Democrats and Lou Dobbs independents that have been left behind by both major parties.

We represent all of those folks that are being forgotten. The American middle class is under assault. We are simply provide another option for folks not happy with the current choices. You don't have a problem with giving voters another option do you?

So, we are not about to turn our backs on all of these Reagan Democrats that are finally had enough of the Democratic party. A strong effort has already begun within our party to draft a Hillary Clinton / Lou Dobbs ticket in 2012.

And if you think that this could never happen or that Lou Dobbs would not run with Hillary Clinton then you had better think again. But, 2012 is a long ways off and we could field any ticket by that time.

If we attract candidates from the two major parties then they will be expected to address many of the concerns of the NAIP. And those showning interest thus far have indeed shown a willingness to tackle our concerns. But, at the same time that will not be expected to be a puppet for the NAIP.

Where are all the Lou Dobbs Republicans? by Jack Loftus

I can tell you with 100% accuracy that Lou Dobbs is a registered INDEPENDENT and not a registered Republican. Lou was registered as a Republican for most of his life. However, in 2004 he supported and contributed money to the Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry. It is around this time that he changed his party registration from Republican to Independent.

Thank you Marc L.
I have grown so tired of the Democrats hoping that the Republicans will fail and vice versa. Where is the concern for the ordinary American?

Loyal Republicans will go to the grave trying to defend the undefendable actions of their leaders. The loyal Democrats do the same. How about defending the American people and the average joe.

Our congress (both parties) is set to allow the U.S. to be flooded with H1B foreign tech workers by removing the cap. The H1B has already done terrible damage to our American tech workers. Big business wins out again and the American people lose again. We see this over and over again on so many important issues.

My father who was a wonderful person was forced to work two jobs as a welder and a tractor-trailer driver up until he passed away last year. No 70 year old man show have to do this. He was a veteran, a youth football coach and a fire chief for his local volunteer fire company. Our hard working Americans are getting nothing more than a slap in the face by our so called "leaders". My mother was left with a large debt of medical bills and little medical coverage herself.

My own business of landscaping became uncompetitive as all of my competitors began hiring illegal immigrants. Where is the support of our honest business owners by our leaders? They are busy pushing for open borders for their corporate masters that is where they are.

We are in desperate need of more options at the voting booth. That is what I have dedicated myself to.

Marc you would be interested in this. In my home state of Pennsylvania for example if you want to run for a state wide office as an independent or third party candidate you have to collect 67,070 signatures. The Democratic and Republican candidates have to collect only 2,000 signatures each! Pennsylvania had a fine independent candidate this year, but he only collected 45,000 signatures. A Green Party candidate defied the odds and collected over 80,000 signatures and the PA Democratic Party took him to court to challenge the signatures. The judge who was appointed by a Democrat throw out the Green Party candidates signatures. The judge didn't look at any of the signatures, he just took the word of the high powered Democratic lawyers. The judge also order the Green Party canddiate to pay for ALL court costs. The Green Party candidate who just wanted to participate in our so-called democracy is stuck with a bill of $900,000. The will probably never be able to pay off this debt. It is amazing how many people who are set on trying to cram democracy down the throats of the rest of the world don't give a damn about it here. If our country is going to survive this critical next 60 years in a world of globalization we must get past this religious type of following of the democratic and republican parties.

I don't care which party comes up with a good idea, let's use it. Don't resist or tear it apart because the "other side" proposed it. We are Americans and our nation is in real trouble. We need to wake up. Your Republican party won't mean a thing when there is no more United States. Your Democratic Party won't mean a thing after our middle class collapses followed by our country.

It is time to move America, not left or right, but forward.

These men and women deserve expanded benefits. While they might not be on the front lines, they are all contributing to our nation's war effort. These folks sacrifice so much for all of us, the very least that we could do is improve & extend this bill and others to cover all of our brave military men and women.

In fact most of our members who are from the left, center and right are upset and outraged at the Bush administration. So yes we are anti-Bush and proud to say so. But, we are not just anti-Bush. We don't like the Democratic party or their leaders any better. The Democratic party is also full of neo-conservatives. The neo-cons were going to take control in 2000 no matter what. They would have either Cheney or Leiberman as the V.P.

We don't like either of them. Both are ignoring the middle class and selling us down the river to Mexico, China, Saudi Arabia and many more.

Americans deserve more choices at the ballot box. Being stuck between dumb and dumber just won't do.

We are against any kind of constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage if that is what you are asking about. I find it troubling that our elected officials from both parties work so hard to bring rights and benefits to illegals and H1B visa holders while simultaniously working to restrict the rights and benefits of tax paying American citizens some of whom are gay. We support fighting for our ignored middle class and all of those Americans who are being left behind by our out of touch government. We support the seperation between church & state. I personally don't care what each church's position on gay rights is. That is their own call. But, the government should not be intruding into the marriage fight. I am not sure that the government needs to be involved in the marriage business.
