Seriously, Cynthia Mc. Kinney needs to hire a speech writer. It's idiots like her that makes the rest of the third party look like nothing more than lunatics.

Yea, she probably takes Coast to Coast AM as fact, instead of just entertainment.

5, 000 bodies in a swamp, over 9, 000 penises - America is clearly in the end times.

I hope it's a radioactive swamp and we finally get some decent zombies.

ALIEN MOONBATS FROM MARS HAVE INFILTRATED THE GOVERNMENT AND ARE KILLING BLACK PEOPLE IN AN EFFORT TO ESTABLISH THE NEW WORLD ORDER AND FURTHER THE ZIONIST AGENDA OF THE WORLDWIDE JEWISH CONSPIRACY HEADED BY ZOMBIE-TROTSKY! WE MUST SUPPORT ZOMBIE-REAGAN AND THE FORCES OF CAPITALISM AGAINST THE UNDEAD, JEW-COMMIE THREAT!

In other news, I think she's great VP material.

Yea, for Obama.

I mean Obama is moderate enough to get the moderate blacks and white vote. But this woman can get in the "angry at whitey" vote! :D

Fine. Most, if not all, of the third parties in the U.S. with which I am familiar are ridiculous and/or insane.

That includes the Libertarians, about whom I posted here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=14051567&postcount=200) in the other thread about U.S. third parties.

Yeah, when a candidate is a miserable human being who cheats on his wife while championing integrity and family values, and supported various socially authoritarian bills like the Defense of Marriage Act, yet is now claiming to be a libertarian, Id agree, they make a lot more sense.:rolleyes:


Seriously, do you know anything about Barr?

McKinney was a Democrat up until she failed to get elected to the House of Representatives a second time, which seems to have made her slightly as angry and crazy as she's always been.

I have read the posts and as far as I am concerned I like some aspects of the old platform (ie isolationism some criminal rights things) but I still think they are a bunch of anarchists.* I do not trust Obama... he is a crook as far as I am concerned. I do not know how I am going to vote as I agree with the DNC party line but I can't stand Obama. I wish they picked Clinton or that Colin Powell would have run for president.

I'm not a supporter of the Libertarian party and I have no intention of being one in the future, but even I know that Barr isn't a representative Libertarian. Ron Paul was a better Libertarian than him. I suppose you think all Republicans are exactly like McCain? All Democrats are exactly like Obama?

Leave the third parties alone, guys, they need much more support than they've ever got. How can you call it a democracy if there's only two choices?

Oh please. It is perfectly valid to attak Barr when Wilgrove made the asinine comment that the Libertarian Party currently makes the most sense.

I see. And here I thought it was at least reasonably fair to make some judgment about a party based on who that party nominated for the highest office in the country. I guess we should look at the records and philosophy of local dog-catcher candidates instead.

The candidate you nominate happens to be the representative of your party. I dont understand whats so hard to grasp here...

Plus, Ive seen you talk about your love of Barr around here.

No one said that until 6 years ago. Until then she was just another black democrat, serving a majority black district.

What scares me most is she used to serve in the US house.

So did Bob Barr. Looking at the fact that both Barr and McKinney are from the suburbs of Atlanta, our problem is obviously Georgia, not third parties.

Disclosure: I have lived in Cynthia McKinney's congressional district, I've voted for her, until 2001.

I'm only voting for him so that the Libertarian Party can hopefully get enough vote to get National funding.

Didn't we have this convo before?

Well, as of right now Bob Barr isn't getting in. However, if the party gets enough vote, they may qualify for National Funding, and then will I start worrying about who my party selects to be the nominee.

I'm just playing the game.
