Third party candidates scoring higher and higher in the polls

I agree. Time to stop choosing lesser evil and voting :E or third party.

The McCain, Clinton, and the Obama gangs, and others before them, have been advancing an anti-American globalist or new world order agenda. Unfortunately, the bread and circuses provided by the the latter-day gadiantons and hyped by the mainstream media have helped concealed this for decades. Provided a smoke screen, if you like. In my efforts to promote the Constitution Party, I am finding more and more people who have wised up to this "awful situation".

From a statement attributed to Joseph Smith, as recorded by Mosiah Lyman Hancock (June 19, 1844), commonly known as the Hancock Prophecy:

"There will be two great political parties in this country. One will be called the Republican, and the other the Democrat party. These two will go to war and out of these two parties will spring another party which will be the Independent American Party." (I look forward to that day.)

"The United States will spend her strength and means warring in foreign lands, until other nations will say, "Let's divide up the lands of United States." Then the people of the U.S. will unite and swear by the blood of their forefathers, that the land will not be divided. Then the country will go to war, and they will fight until one half of the U.S. army will give up, and the rest will continue to struggle. They will keep on until they are very ragged and discouraged, and almost ready to give up, when the boys from the mountains will rush forth in time to save the American Army from defeat and ruin. And they will say, "Brethren, we are glad you have come. Give us men, henceforth, who can talk with God." Then you will have friends, but you will save the country when it's liberty hangs by a hair, as it were." (I am concerned that this senario is shaping up now.)

This part seems curious to me... "They (the army) will keep on until they are very ragged and discouraged, and almost ready to give up, when the boys from the mountains will rush forth in time to save the American Army from defeat and ruin."

It's like "the boys from the mountains" are just sitting back, biding their time, safely uninvolved until the very last second? Seems weird that "the boys" haven't had a more front-row seat to trying to save the country... course, maybe that's the trend we are in even as we speak.

'From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator,
to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory
committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate.

That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.

After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be
Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of
Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan.

143 days. I keep leftovers in my refrigerator longer than that.

"The United States will spend her strength and means warring in foreign lands,....Then the country will go to war, and they will fight until one half of the U.S. army will give up,..." is the part that we were sweating while our younger son was in Afghanistan. It seems he saw the handwriting on the wall and decided to get out in spite of being an NCO with 9 years "service".

I agree that it's absurd for Obama to be claiming experience in a situation like that. But frequently I wonder, would it really be so bad if we had a president with no previous government experience? I mean, if you really want something to change, why look for someone who is experienced at keeping things the way they are?
