Cut the strings of the puppets.
Here's how.
1. Go to the polls and vote third party if you live in one of the states which is already decided by historical voting pattern. Vote third party in AL, AK, AZ, CT, DE, DC, GA, HI, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, MS, MO, NJ, NY, NC, ND, OK, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, WV OR WY.
Some of these will go democratic and some will go republican, but all are essentially decided, so vote third party and knock the NATIONAL winner under 50 percent.
1a. Alternative version of the third party vote: register with Unity08 as the web-based third party and then vote to nominate Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York City and former Democrat as well as former Republican. Bloomberg will spend $500 million to $1 billion of his own money to win, and that's a lot more independence than the corporate hacks the major parties are going to nominate (perhaps Hillary Clinton against Fred Thompson, I reckon).
So if you take option 1a, nominate Bloomberg and vote for him in November of 2008 no matter where you live.
2. If you don't live in the option 1 states because you live in NEVADA, and you reject option 1a, then vote for "none of these candidates," an option available with all ballot choices in, and only in, Nevada. The parties lock out this option elsewhere in the nation.
3. Suppose you live in a "battleground state," the states that are actually going to decide the 2008 election? What do you do? Hold your nose and vote for the lesser of two evils?
I have a secret plan for you. It'll cost you 10 points for the best answer.
The battleground states for 2008 are: AR, CO, FL, IA, MI, MN, MO, NH, NM, OH, OR, PA and WI. Nevada is also a battleground state, but the choice there is "none of these candidates" or Bloomberg, depending on whether you choose option 1 or option 1a.
here's the secret plan for the other battleground states. Pay attention. No one else is going to tell you this. I've been watching elections closely since I was a little kid in 1960 (!), and I know this stuff.
Go to your polling place in AR, CO, FL, IA, MI, MN, MO, NH, NM, OH, OR, PA and WI. Go in the voting booth. OK, you don't have Nevada's wonderful choice. So CREATE IT FOR YOURSELF. Here's how. Find at least one statewide office that matters to you, such as governor, senator, state attorney general, or a state referendum, initiative or state constitutional question -- note -- the highest statewide OFFICE between individuals works best for this -- and vote for that race/ those races.
You CREATE "none of the above" by SKIPPING THE TOP OF THE TICKET. It's called "undervoting." The political wags and spin doctors around presidential candidates are keenly aware of undervoters -- they kept well informed, patriotically went to the polls, voted in OTHER RACES and ignored the hack they are trying to sell us like toothpaste.
When a "president elect" wins because he carried, say, Ohio or FLorida, and yet in that state the senate race totals MORE VOTES than the presidential race, he knows he's on very, very, very thin ice. We scare the hack that wins and his embarassed professional staff, which is something we sorely need to do.
Undervoting also encourages third party movements. "We win" with this strategy.
