The LA Times has a story on B-1 Bob this morning, noting that former Congressman Bob Dornan is considering running for Christopher Cox's seat as "an independent."
But wait ... that's the "Independent Party" according to the lead. Hmmm ... didn't know there was an "Independent Party" in California, and isn't that different from "independent" anyway, being a Party and all?
OH ... that's the "American Independent Party", according to the second paragraph. I'm really confused now -- I thought Bob was a Republican. Then I hit this:
Running as an independent candidate has appeal, Dornan said Wednesday, because he would not have to change parties to appear on the ballot — as long as at least 40 registered American Independent Party voters signed his nomination papers.So, he's a Republican, running as an independent on the American Independent Party ticket. It appears that I'm not the one who's confused. It gets worse.
I support both democracy in general, and the republican form of government in particular. I also cherish liberty, and make every effort to obey natural law. I support peace and freedom, though not necessarily in that order. I've never held elective office, so I guess you could say I'm a bit green. I'm an American, I consider myself independent, and boy do I love to party. Can I run on everybody's ticket?
