'This Is Not a Bluff'

The words religion and politician is an oxymoron, cause no politician can be a good anything, but for maybe a satanist, as ALL politicians practice complete disregaurd of the seven deadly sins daily, and what you want to call them, is not why they were hired to do. they were elected to lie,cheat,steal,and greed for there state and there own pockets, which is why 8 years, and further back the Senate,house all voted there raises with the social security increase cost of living bill for the last 20 years. Now you start to tax every church who believes in the "One true God" income,holdings,homes,property,and donations, then they can play. Both parties pay to play today so should the church if they want there own party, and i do not want a religious country. I'm embarassed enough as a Veteran today, don't give me yet another reason to doubt the longevity of the Un-United States Of America> Pay to play, either you stay out of DC and tax free, or pay up!! Not my beliefs: Beware ladies the bible did not give you one right, except to kiss a mans backside for a living!! Man gave you rights and man goes overboard with everything, so give politicians a reason to put you back on your knees and in the kitchen, beware he will!! Sound good to you??? It would kep Hillary out of office though???

Are political parties allowed to be formed to represent a relgious belief, and in turn is that then open to all relgions? This sounds like a slippery slope.

A third party could probably not win the Presidency, but could possibly hold the balance of power in the congress as the orthodox Israelis do in Israel. That way, they could vote for the Republicans when they are right and the Democrats when they are right. That's what we need.

Wow. The posts here pretty much giftwrap the case for a multi-party system. Everyone is forced to pick a side, whether it fully represents what he or she believes or not. The only reason it's harmful for the Evangelicals to create a third party or to endorse a third party candidate is because the way the system functions right now, it's basically a gimme for Democrats. Which is not so bad for Democrats, but not so great for democracy. That's always going to be an issue in this country until the American people really get serious and revolutionize governmental representation. A better way is to have more choices. What if you could choose a party platform that most closely represented your view (this way, the people in the middle don't get trampled by the fringe alarmists on either side), and even if the platform didn't win the majority, they would still be granted an equal representation of the vote they received. Your party gets 10% of the vote, you get 10% of the representation in government. This seems to me a much more reasonable way to insure that the interests of the voting public are being advocated, as opposed to the red/blue (essentially black or white) mess we've got now that leaves many citizens feeling disenfranchised and disgusted at having to choose between the lesser of two evils. It will almost certainly never happen because too many people with much more power than I benefit greatly by maintaining the status quo. A girl can dream though, can she not?

We don't want another republican as president. They do nothing but lie and screw up this country. Look at what George Bush has done. He sent our troops to war, not because of our freedom or terrorism. He did it, because he wants Iraq's oil. We want Hillary Clinton for our next Commander in Chief. She is the only one qualified for the job.

First let me say that I am a republican, however, this crap about the Evangelical right. This is a code word for Klu Klux Klan which I do not support. Being a Christian is about your faith in the fact that Jesus shed his blood to help renew the spirit of Adam. I certainly don't put my faith in people like George W. Bush whom I feel is just a dry drunk, doing the twelve step program in the Oval office. Second I am not going to confuse my faith with who the best political leader may be since one characteristic that a politician must have is the ability to lie. Certainly I have witnessed both republicans, and democrats be terrific liers. Jesus promoted peace, yet both parties practice anything but peace in their devisive talk, and actions. Yes we need a third party because frankly both parties take the american people as a whole for granted. We as American citizens need to become more involved in the political process and hold any elective official accountable.

Where is the integerity in the GOP party? Stop turning your heads to the obvious( turning a Blind eye). And as far a wanting to rewrite history, i believe it is the Right Wingers who always want to change the Constitution.. This approach is a typical Right wing self proclaimed Christian approach. Get out of Politics and back to your churhes and this country will be a much better place. You know the world will survive without all of you deciding what is best for the rest of us..

We don't want another republican as our president. They do nothing but lie and screw up this country. Look at what George Bush has done to this country and the American people. Bush sent our troops to war, not because of our freedom or because of terrorism. He did it, because he wants Iraq's oil. So NO republicans. We want Hillary Clinton to represent our country, we call America.

they should start inforceing the seperation of church and state .bush has already taken us back to the dark ages.who about only atheist for president or any political position,

I wonder if this is how the Taliban got its start.

A 3rd party could hand the election to the democrats. I am a Canadian, and I don't pretend to know your political landscape more than what I hear through media. We regularly have 4-5 party elections, with only 1 on the right (The Conservative Party of Canada), while the other 4 parties duke it out for leftist votes, the conservatives won with only 34% of the popular vote. It is a now minority government, with minimal power and alot of time spent working out backroom deals to support each others initiatives.

I am a Christian, Veteran, male, age 54 and do not like the direction our great country is heading and where it has gone in the past 10 years. I will vote for Ron Paul

We need more political parties...on the right and on the left. And we need a broader spectrum of media that allows different voices and opinions to reach us. Where else in the world nowadays do people not have convenient access to for instance foreign TV channels? Yes in Iran and North-Korea perhaps.

I not only think they should have their own party, but also their own planet.
