There used to be a typing exercise: “Now is the time for all good men [and women] to come to the aid of their country.” Obama and McCain do not fit the bill as good men coming to the aid of their country. To quote Pat Buchanan, they are two wings of the same bird of prey. Both parties are preying on the American people to further their lust for world power and to h--- with we the people and our children.

Obama is no more qualified to be president than the average man on the street. As for McCain, his POW status does not qualify him for anything except thanks for his service to the country and sympathy for time spent as a POW. He’s no more a hero than many that didn’t get captured, yet would probably have traded places with him to come home with all their body parts intact and functioning.

Some [say] McCain made a brilliant move when he picked Sarah Palin his VP. She is an apparently intelligent, level-headed, strong-willed woman with conservative principles. I doubt that she or anyone else he would have chosen could change his stripes. McCain has been McCain for 72 years. Would anyone really expect him to change? Not I. If she is as strong willed and conservative as reported when the inbred elite of D.C. finish her indoctrination, if elected, she will probably be one frustrated and furious woman.

So the time has arrived to go for a third party. There is only one party and one man running for president that is truly fit for the job. I will put my money and mouth with the Constitution party and Chuck Baldwin for president and Darrell Castle his VP. They are truly patriotic American statesmen, not in it for power and glory for themselves. They know the Constitution inside out, forwards and backwards. Couple that with good old-fashioned common sense means more than all the political savvy that others may have.

Only governing by our Constitution will we ever clean up the mess we have made of our heritage and save our posterity for our children. It is time to give a good third party a chance.
