The latest from the party of ideas
OK, I admit it: I saw this on Power Line earlier today and was convinced it was really a hoax. Then I finally got the email from the Democratic National Committee, with a link to the latest innovation in bumper-sticker politics:
"Change that matters"? Clearly, that's another slogan on its way to the scrap heap.
Yes, this is bound to be a campaign full of substance and thoughtfulness. Yessirree.
Well, if all sides are determined to keep this campaign on the low road, I might finally have to surrender and play along. One can only guess the only slogans that were considered and rejected …
“Democrats: Not to be confused with any other parties”
“Democrats: Alphabetically superior”
“Democrats: Hey, look — George W. Bush!”
“Democrats: Fresh out of short, vapid slogans”
“Democrats: Get our full message on Twitter”
And it’s not even silly season yet. (Sigh.)

Dusty,
You are so inventive. Alas, like many conservative ideas, yours would not serve the purpose. Placing the NOT A REPUBLICAN bumper sticker on my wide screen TV would not allow YOU to read it, as you thought you could @ 5:48 pm.

The premise of both parties has become “Hey, vote for us, we aren’t THEM.” The two party monopoly that has destroyed this country and siezed control of liberty and freedom offers nothing in the way of good governance or good ideas. They most either has to offer is fear of the other party and demands for blind faith and support because “the other side is worse.”
We no longer vote FOR candidates but AGAINST the other side. Just look at the GOP this year. The general sentiment is supposedly against liberal candidates and yet Romney was selected early on by the leadership and Goldman Sachs and every stop – including blatant vote switching, caucus corruption, etc. has been done to insure his nomination. He is the most un-supported candidate in many generations and yet the sheep in the GOP will vote for him simply because they actually believe that Obama will be worse. News flash – they are one in the same person. Obama’s policies are those of Bush and there is nothing that Obama supports that Romney will not support once elected either (obviously including a complete government takeover of healthcare).
Don’t single out the Democrats. They have been a worthless party since they abandoned their principles after the Civil War. It is the republicans that talk the talk of small government, low taxes, more freedom and the constitution and then vote for the Patriot Act, bank bailouts, NDAA, and overseas empire.
There is only one party in this country – the warfare/welfare party. Both wings of this party do everything they can to convince the voters there is a difference so that they will vote for them. As soon as the voters finally realize that there is NO fundamental difference we might get our country and our freedom back. Until then the sheeple will continue voting for one over the other simply because they are not them. How truly sad.
The Ron Paul Revolution is finally revealing these truths, and while he is a member of the GOP, he stands alone in representing the principles that both parties only talk about but never deliver on. Sound foreign policy, personal and civil liberties, sound money, small government,etc. The hope in Ron Paul is that the duplicitous one party system we have will come tumbling down and more and more abandone the hollow shells of fear that they both have become.

Tucker Carlson, the conservative commentator and editor-in-chief of the The Daily Caller, said publicly what many on the right are thinking at a speech last week to the Cato Institute.
“There are only two people in world history who have signed laws containing an individual mandate,” said Carlson, according to The Washington Examiner. “One’s the president, the other’s running against him. So somehow, out of 315 million Americans, the Republican Party managed to find the one guy who couldn’t run on Obamacare.”

If Perot was 20 years younger he would win this election in a landslide against either Hussein Oblama or Mitt Romney (Obama Light). This election is about the economy, jobs and reduction of this alarming Fed debt that both parties and the VOTERS are responsible for. With no other choice. the only choice for the economy, jobs and the Fed debt reduction is Obama Light – Mitt Romney. Oblama has shown he can spend. His party won’t vote to reduce the debt. The Fed pumped $7,000,000,000 in to the economy during Oblama’s term and what do we have? More debt and the slowest so called recovery in history.

The one principled party also has some great bumper stickers:
The Lesser of Two Evils is Still Evil – Vote Libertarian
The founding fathers were Libertarian
Take a bite out of government – Vote Libertarian
Screw This – I’m Voting Libertarian
Its Your Money, Its Your Life – Vote Libertarian
Libertarians Do It Voluntarily
Stick with us and you’ll be Free – the Libertarians
Vote for Freedom – Vote Libertarian
Vote Libertarian – They only want to repeal sh*t
Want to change the law – Change the Lawmakers
Want your WHOLE paycheck – Vote Libertarian
I mean after all, there are really only TWO parties to blame for the mess we are in – the republicans and the democrats.

Strange to be rooting for the acquittal of a man who shot and killed an unarmed boy who wasn’t committing any crime. And, might I add, quite pathetic.

Allow me to quote Lewis Black: “There’s the Republicans, who are the party of no ideas and the Democrats are the party of bad ideas. So the way it works is a Democrat stands up and yells: ‘I got a really bad idea!’ To which a Republican replies, ‘And I can make it spittier!’”
