Participant[quote=asianautica]Hopefully the Libertarian party will get enough vote to get public funding and a spot in the debate the next time around.[/quote]
I don’t think the Commission on Presidential Debates, which was formed by the Republican and Democratic parties, and the mainstream media will let that happen.

SD Realtor: Ron Paul is my only hope as well…that’s why I and a lot of other people will be writing him in.

MCCAIN (no changes)
OBAMA (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
RON PAUL (No income tax!)

Single making 50K – tax $0
Single making 75K – tax $0
Married making 60K – tax $0
Married making 75K – tax $0

ParticipantI am voting for who I think is the best person for the position, not for who I think has the best chance of winning. That’s what I would do down at the Del Mar racetrack…pick a winner. This isn’t a horserace to me.
A vote for anyone other than Obama or McCain is a vote of no-confidence in our political parties and their candidates. If enough people vote their minds, hearts, and guts, then maybe the two major parties would take notice and start representing the people again. Voting for the lesser of two evils still leaves you with evil.
Republicans and Democrats have given us or allowed:
1. a $9.6 Trillion debt ($32k for every man, woman, and child).
2. Over 700 military bases in over 130 countries.
http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0115-08.htm
3. Handing over the Congress’ right to coin money
3. Creation of the Federal Reserve system
4. Fiat money created out of nothing and which is backed and expanded by debt
5. Fractional reserve banking
6. A progressive tax structure whereby many people pay the gov’t nearly half of what they make.
7. Increased privacy of the government; decreased privacy of the people (Patriot Act, National ID card).
X. Any others I’ve missed…?ParticipantI am voting for who I think is the best person for the position, not for who I think has the best chance of winning. That’s what I would do down at the Del Mar racetrack…pick a winner. This isn’t a horserace to me.

X. Any others I’ve missed…?ParticipantI guess I should have prefaced the definitions of the thread with my own “take” on the the two sides of the argument. As I see it, individualism is analyzing the rights of a person based on their individual circumstances and background. Collectivism is analyzing the rights of a GROUP of persons based on similar characteristics (skin color, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, etc.).
In other words, I don’t view my neighbor, who is a Gay, Elderly Black Man; as a member of the Old, Homosexual, or Black communities…But rather I view him as an individual…no different than a Young, Heterosexual White Woman. Each are given the same unalienable rights bestowed upon them by their creator.
