Voting in America
There are three options if you are a conservative today in America:
Option 1. Vote for the latest republican candidate. This is the new and improved principled candidate that hears the people’s voices. Vote for someone like Dede or Senator Scott Brown. She lost in NY23 but he won and there wasn’t a bit of difference between the two. He is a pro-choice, pro-amnesty, globalist. (A globalist is a politician or person who thinks its good to have free trade zones and most favored trading nation status with communists. A globalist is a politician or person that thinks it’s good for Americans to watch their jobs move overseas. A globalist is a politician or person who believes it is good that Americans lower their standard of living and compete on the same level playing field with third-world sweatshop workers). Anyway, Senator Brown is a pro-choice, pro-amnesty, globalist. But, he was the 41st vote against the Health care reform bill. That didn't work out so well. Sen Brown is a career professional republican conservative politician.
The career professional republican politicians intend to do everything they can to prevent the election of a third party candidate or a constitutionalist. They put before the voters, so-called conservative candidates like Dede in NY23 and Scott Brown and Grayson. If that doesn’t work, then the career professional republican leadership resort to scare tactics to influence their conservative party members who won’t support their so-called conservative candidates.
They hire prominent talk show hosts with millions of listeners to scare the people and repeatedly tell the conservatives that a vote for the third party candidate will ensure a liberal democrat’s victory. They must convince the few remaining conservative members that the republican leadership just lost its way, but now, somehow, they have found their conservative roots again and the Republican Party can be reformed and transformed from the inside out. There is no need to change the party leadership or the party!
There are some people who believe that and I caution them to look at the history of the career republican politicians. The Republicans are as liberal and corrupted with power as the career democrats. Look at the Republican leadership. It has not changed. The Republican leadership opposed Rand Paul, a constitutional Republican.
Option 2. Vote for the democrat. Since there isn’t a nickel’s worth of difference between career professional republican politicians and career professional democrat politicians, lets just all get along and move quickly over the cliff toward fascism (government run businesses) and socialism (government run everything).
Of course there is the Constitution that prohibits our government from doing most of the things that it is doing today, but let’s all just acknowledge that our Constitution is a bit of nostalgia and not really relevant to today’s issues, right. The legislative processes and restrictions that the Constitution imposes are just to slow for today’s fast paced global society. Anyway, it is easier to steal from someone who doesn’t resist, so we should all just put away our Constitution. So, please put away your constitution and hand your wallet to the nearest newly elected career professional republican or democrat.
Option 3. Vote for the third party. Vote for the Constitution Party. Vote for the third party that has ballot access. Throw the bums out! A strong third party is not a new idea, it just happens to be the best idea today, again, and for the foreseeable future. Current laws (passed by career professional republican and democrat politicians) in some states make it very difficult for third parties to organize or change their party name after they gain ballot access. And there aren't any Rand Paul constitutionalists running on the Republican ticket here in the 4th district but there is a constitutionalist who is running on the Constitution Party ticket.
Those are the choices before conservative republicans, democrats and independents today and in November. Push the “I believe you button” and vote for the “latest” republican conservative retread; hold your nose and vote for the moderate democrat; or, vote for the other party, the “Constitution party”.
Oh, there is a 4th choice. Sit things out. Stay on the sidelines. Don’t participate. When the republicans and democrats come for your guns, increase taxes and leave the border unsecured, and they will, just say thank you, may I have another, please.
The term conservative and liberal are relative terms. There is no point of reference, thus there is very little difference between the two. A Constitutionalist has a point of reference. We cannot afford to vote for another conservative or liberal politician. Vote for the Constitutionalist.
Here is one question to flush out the politician who is trying to hide as a constitutionalist. Ask your favorite candidate if foreign aid is constitutional? A constitutionalist will give you a constitutional answer; a conservative Republican will give a conservatve answer.
Very Respectfully,
Greg Cowan
Constitution Party Candidate for Missouri’s 4th district.
