    A vote for Obama is a vote for racial hatred, enough said!

    I'm not sure if Ralph Nader is running as an Independent or as a Green Party candidate. But to keep this post on coins, I'm fairly certain that Ron Paul will not run as an independent but only on the GOP ticket. I wish I had bought some Liberty silver dollars before they were confiscated by the Feds.image

    Waste of time? Ron Paul certainly has the integrity and knowledge of the Constition, is the only non socialist and WOULD have changed the direction of this country.

    But lowlifes like anderson cooper, the rest of the mainstream media along with other cronyism in government wouldn't let that happen no way no how.

    If a candidate runs on a foundation of support for the Constitution, it's clear now that he will not be allowed airplay. A candidate who runs counter to traditional American values and has a pro socialist programs platform will get all the support and airplay they need.

    Yes Ron Paul would be a good candidate, unfortunatly his chances of getting the party nomination are smoewhere between slim and none. I hope he runs independant, I would give him my vote.

    This would appear to be Americans for common cents and the zinc industry. Al Gore is one of the mucky mucks.

    I'll vote for the candidate who will eliminate the dollar bill (and reinstate the sac).

    Unless of course the Christian dominionist fundamentalists run their own third-party candidate because McCain and his veep are too soft on "family values" -- then the GOP will be hurtin' big time come November.

    Edited to add: And it looks like the religious right might have found its man in Bob Barr. He's trying for the Libertarian Party nomination, but since he's pretty much the antithesis of what the Libertarians stand for, he's not going to get it and will thus be running in November as an independent most probably.

    Do you really think the Fundamentalists would take much needed votes away from McCain and thus usher in a Democrat President?

    I doubt it. The Republican party will bring on a conservative christian as their VP to cater to that part of the party.
