First an update on the Constitution
Party. Currently in Lake County it is still a party of one –
me, Carey Masci.
To be a recognized political party in
the state of Ohio you need three positions filled, those positions
are chairman, secretary and treasurer. I am doing all I can to
promote this party. It is an easy sell as people would and want to
vote for Constitution Party candidates - the problem is... people
don't want to get involved to party build, they want a ready made
party.
HOWEVER there is someone in Lake County
who is fairly well known that heads a liberty group who is intrigued
by the offer I made to him of stepping down and letting him take
chairman and I would become vice chair. I have no problem with that
as this is not about me but doing what is right for America. This
person is currently involved with this coming election so we will
talk further after November.
Some have asked and questioned if as
Chairman of the Constitution Party would I endorse Dave Macko who is
running as a Libertarian. The answer is no, as chairman it would
violate the party rules. Besides there are some differences between
the Constitution Party and Libertarians and if I would endorse Dave
Macko I am in essence saying I agree with the Libertarian platform
which I do not. BUT as an individual I believe Dave Macko is the best
man running for congress in the 14 district.
Our other options are Wager who is a
Democrat and sorry but I just do not agree with the Democrats on much
of anything especially a Democrat who is for Obamacare. Then there is
incumbent 48% Dave Joyce, a LaTourette puppet, who ran a complete
smear campaign against a good man Dave Lynch, a tea party favorite
just to win a primary. Why do I say 48% Dave? Because in Conservative
grading he scores only a 48% at best and other score cards have him
at 45% or lower. http://heritageactionscorecard.com/members
I feel as probably a lot of you do
also that I am just treading water trying to educate people. As
bad as things are voters are still clinging to the notion that voting
for the lesser of two evils is the right thing to do. Using Joyce as
an example, I have spoken to people who are not for Joyce, they don't
agree with his record but they refuse to vote for a candidate even
though he/she is closer to their thinking because they are either a
long shot or have no chance of winning so they vote just so the
opposition doesn't win. I ask and challenge this type of voter with
this question... how can we build momentum to finally have a strong
third party candidate or steer the nation back to the right if you
keep voting for someone who does not stand for true American
principals? We can't.
But does this mean that I am
contradicting myself for voting for Dave Macko and voting for the
lesser of evils as some have proposed? Not
at all. I am in no way voting for the lesser of two evils, I am
voting for someone that I have a few differences with. Overall I can
not argue with someone who has preached the same message over and
over again of downsizing the government, abortion is wrong, securing
our borders is a must and repealing Obamacare plus he even utters the
forbidden – IMPEACH OBAMA which not many dare say, not even
Conservative Republicans.
Just think if all the voters who say
a third party is needed actually voted for a
candidate that didn't have a D or R by their
name. We possibly could already have a third party candidate
elected.
So be it, lets all rush to the polls to
vote for someone we don't like, vote for the lesser of two evils and
then immediately afterwards complain of who we have in office and the
condition America is in. After all isn't that the American way? Or is
it the two party way?
