— WASHINGTON -- Libertarian-leaning congressman Ron Paul is urging voters to reject John McCain and Barack Obama and support one of the third-party candidates for president. Paul, a Republican who abandoned his White House bid earlier this year, is gathering some of the candidates, independent Ralph Nader among them, on Wednesday to make his plea.

Thank you Cyndezu the Queen of digg!

Update~
Quote from http://www.campaignforliberty.com/
The strongest message can be sent by rejecting the two-party system, which in reality is a one-party system with no possible chance for the changes to occur which are necessary to solve our economic and foreign policy problems. This can be accomplished by voting for one of the non-establishment principled candidates—Baldwin, Barr, McKinney, Nader, and possibly others. (listed alphabetically)

Yes,

Submitted by BigT on Wed, 09/10/2008 - 08:57.

if we can drag enough of the vote in our direction, via a combination of all the 3rd parties, then there will be no "perceived mandate" for any eventual winner from either of the 2 parties, because "the win" consisted of less than 50% of the vote.
Then they cannot proclaim that they represent the will of the people, and just a simple "minority-majority" of somewhat less than half of the people who voted.

This could be a factor in how far they can reach with their policy-making, since it could then be constantly brought up that they have no "mandate from the people" for such actions as they may want to implement.

If this is the gist of his message...

Submitted by vincebodie on Wed, 09/10/2008 - 08:48.

I hope he hammers home a couple of points:

1. That a third party vote is NOT a wasted vote. Just imagine if McBama gets in with only 30-40%... there goes "consensus" out the window!

2. That the old media will try to spin this announcement as just a bunch of fringe candidates trying to steal some of the spotlight from the "major candidates". Tell the public in no uncertain terms that the "two party system" is D-E-A-D, dead! Ask them which candidates are speaking out against FISA, which candidates will bring our troops home NOW, which candidates will speak out against the abuses of the FED, and so on...

I still think he has some things up his sleeve. That sly little smile on Cavuto last night tells me there is a lot more coming!

Ron Paul is the great uniter, the income tax fighter...the military-supported, defender of the border...the political apathy solution and the champion of the Constitution! Doctor Paul is on-call!

I'm not sure

Submitted by Faron Collins on Tue, 09/09/2008 - 23:21.

if that's what the Dr. will do.But I don't think that if everyone avoids voting for McCain or Obama and votes third party or Independent will put a different candidate in office.Baldwin may have a similar platform to Dr. Paul but I think he has even less a chance to unseat the REP. or DEM. candidates.The same goes for Barr or Nader it will just dilute the amount of votes they get but will not keep them out of office.I will still cast a write in vote for Ron Paul counted or not.

Just imagine.

A unity party headed by Ron Paul.. I would love to see how diebold would hide that one come November.

Step one towards liberty is freedom of speech

Submitted by supporter on Tue, 09/09/2008 - 22:09.

Openning up the debates/elections is the first step in making the liberty message more available. If we can dilute the vote among 5 candidates, then those americans that believe in liberty will sometimes get a candidate in the door.

We're never going to convince everyone. Our goal right now needs to be getting representation in government that is on par with our demographics in the population. About 10% of Americans are socially liberal and fiscally conservative (aka keep gov't out of my hair). We should have at least 10% of gov't that believes in those ideas. Right now we have maybe 2-3%.

The only thing beauracracies do well is get bigger. I 100% disagree with the green party, but I'd rather have the gov't consist of 1/3 green, 1/3 republican, 1/3 democrat than 1/2 rep and 1/2 democrats, because it will be harder for them to drive a single agenda.

Submitted by victory on Tue, 09/09/2008 - 21:19.

if Ron Paul reads our comments here and has a little chuckle? He did say make fun buddy so there is nothing wrong with throwing ideas around. Maybe he is going to tell us he took a ticket to the Rage concert in exchange for promising to direct all of his supporters to McCain for a long run strategy ( or not so long, in McCains case) for a written promise they will drop Palin for him. As a bonus the other candidates with him at the meeting will also be welcomed warmly as part of the inner loop of the GOP now.

I may just be spit-balling here, but how about simply being PATIENT, and waiting quietly to see what he actually says tomorrow instead of once again getting hopes up, or dashing them?

I swear- sometimes I think I should've invested in Pepto Bismol and marketed it to the Daily Paul. I'd be able to cover the debt and own half the country at this rate.
