    Who will be our Independent candidate?

    Since most of us will not vote for McCain, we need to start looking at alternatives.

    Not voting at all is a terrible idea, we need our good congessman who fought for us against the amnesty bill. These are also the men who will fight to kill the coming Amnesty bills from a mcCain/Hillary/Obama administration. To stay home from voting altogether out of anger against McCain will hurt these guys and without them our country truly is finished.

    So to energize people to the polls, we need to give them someone to vote for, not just candidates they are voting against.

    A good independent or third party candidate will give conservatives hope and move them to the polls. Even is this person doesnt win, we still win overall by getting the GOOD conservative congressman elected.

    WE have the constitution and libertarian parties but I dont think they are the answer. I think we need a Ross Perot style independent candidate who could get 15%-20% of the vote as he did in 92 and 96.

    I've heard Lou Dobbs mentioned. Does anyone know who else might be interested? Please everyone lets discuss and get the ball rolling.

    Michael Savage had a poll on his website. I think he had 8 million saying they would vote for him.

    Savage is another good choice. We need someone with enough name recognition in national polls to qualify for the fall debates. That is critical. HAving someone on stage with mccain and hillary to express our views and repudiate theirs. You never know, people may be so sick of HillaCain that they try the independent alternative.

    This could really work, we just need a candidate! (I know, thats the hard part)

    I know that someone is going to stand up. I just know they are. They are waiting for the right time.

    I'm sticking to my principles and vote for Ron Paul. Voting for the lesser of two evils still results in evil... unless Lou Dobbs runs.

    Same here, he is still in the running.

    He is for everything most of us want.

    Don't try to sabotage him.

    Savage would be great for the entertainment factor alone. The debates would be must see TV.
