Ok, so there is only one post since last week when I posted so I might get a new blog to follow, but I’ll try this.

* (I’m doing the post from October 1st and before). This is presented from the position that neither McCain nor Obama would be able to make a good president, so why are people voting for them. Instead vote for Chuck Baldwin because the things that he stands for are better. I guess I understand why people would rather vote for the person that they morally agree with the most, but because they still know that that person really doesn’t have a chance to become president I still don’t really see the point.

*http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2008/cbarchive_20081010.html -Chuck Baldwin’s definition of a wasted vote and why voting for him is not a wasted vote if he stands for the things that you stand for.


*http://www.baldwin08.com/ is about Baldwin and his campaign.

*The three blogs before that are about if Baldwin or another will be on the constitutional party ticket and such. I was looking through websites to see who the third party candidates were and was surprised about how many third party’s there were. That’s a lot of votes that are not going to the two candidates that have a chance of being president

1. This blog is from the constitutional party. It gives people's oppinion on different ideas and also has different things about the third party canidates.

2. This professional blog is different from other blogs because different people post on it. It also seems that they give more facts and is a little less bias, but there is still some bias. The people who post in it know what they are talking about when they post things.

3. The latest post presented the issue of if voting for a non major party canidate is a wasted vote or not. The man brought up good points about how if they are the only person that stands for your beliefs and principles that it is not a wasted vote because you are standing up for what you believe in. "A wasted vote is for someone you know will not lead the country in the way it should go." These points make sence because the point of voting is to voice your oppinion. Personally I still think that it is sort of a waste of a vote just because you know they won't win...so you might as well pick the person out of the two who do have a chance because other wise you don't get to pick the one that you would rather have lead the country.

This blog has posts with information about both candidates. It does not seem biased against one of the two main parties (democrat/ republican), but takes a side against both of the candidates. It talks about different political things that are happening. One of the things that it brings up is the Wall Street bail out. Baldwin(the writer) says that the U.S. needs to start living in reality. We can’t keep spending and borrowing and not eventually run out of money. The U.S. dollar is worth a lot less. Money doesn’t come from now where and this crisis is destroying our financial system. It is a fraud in U.S. history.
From the latest two posts it seems that this blog seems to show the things that are wrong with the U.S. political system.
Is the constitution party like independent or something (reform party??), b/c I think that they want their person, Baldwin to be voted for president and are biased against the two major parties. Another person says vote for Paul so there are different people who are putting their opinions about different political issues.
to be cont.
