Beck
i saw something today that hit me hard.
i was watching a video on little green footballs about the tea party in dc this past weekend. there were a good smattering of asstards with outrageous signs.
say what you like, but they are definitely not astroturf.
the thing i saw that really hit me was several signs advocating glenn beck as a presidential candidate in 2012 for the constitutional party. i’ve told many people that i am not a republican, that i am a conservative. that i vote my conscious. that i vote fiscally conservative and fairly moderate socially.
i have often wondered who could possibly run in 2012 against the green-liberal-socialists and have a chance. i was not, and am not, exaclty a fan of john mccain.
it makes sense now. like him or hate him. he actually has succeeded in getting near a million people, a million non trained or payed citizens, to demonstrate.
i think he may actually have a chance at being a legitimate third party candidate.
I’d prefer he stay outside of politics and keep doing what he does best, which is raise awareness.

Would be an interesting entry in race, that’s for certain.
