They certainly have some great ideas.

Were this in a state like Idaho or Nebraska, I would have no problems. But, people, WHAT are you thinking??? After years of Democrat dominance in West Virginia, the Republicans are just now getting to the point where they can elect some officials. If these folks abandon the Republican candidates, they lose their only hopes of even semi-conservative officeholders. If they want to enact some change within the party, that is quite fine, but don't get in a position where neither the Republican nor Constitution Party candidates can win and the Democrats win by default!

Unfortunately, the Constitution Party is a non-Fundamentalist, anti-Israel "chr*stian reconstructionist" party whose myth that the Founding Fathers (who were primarily enlightenment/Freemason/deist types) were Biblical Judges verges on American Identitarianism. Their candidate this past year gave an interview to Al-Jazeera.

I understand that there are some good Fundamentalist pro-Israel people at the grassroots, however, and the Jewish Task Force actually endorsed their Senatorial candidate in Pennsylvania. But the people who run the party are still old-school anti-Jewish pre-World War II rightwing types.

I probably agree with 99% of what the Constitution Party stands for.

Still, as long as I live in a battleground state and the D party outnumbers the C party, I'm resigned to voting for the R party.

However, if the R party gets to looking too much more like the D party, the C party can count on both of my (our) votes.

Divide and conquer? Wouldn't be shocked to learn that George Soros was funding this. Since the election of 1860, there have only been TWO Democrat presidents who received a greater percentage of the popular vote than President Bush did this year. (FDR and LBJ) The Democrats usually lose unless there is a 3rd party candidate to split the conservative vote.

Okay, I realize that I'm going to get crucified by some for saying this but here goes: This is the worst thing that the conservative movement in America could possibly do!

On November 2nd conservatives made historic gains by helping the Republican party retain and expand their majority. No, the GOP is not a monolithically conservative party, but it is our best chance to see real change in this country - change that will benefit conservatives and the conservative movement. If the GOP fractures because conservatives begin to squabble amongst themselves and defect from the GOP, we can expect a return to the dark days of the 1990's when a plurality of voters elected a liberal administration with the help of Perot supporters. Over the past forty years, the ONLY time that the liberals have been able to elect their candidates was when a third party peeled a significant number of voters away from the GOP. The results have been predictably disasterous.

If you are a conservative and you are unhappy with certain actions on the part of the GOP or the administration, stay within the party and fight for what you believe in! Don't defect to a third party - now is NOT the time!

You may now commence tearing me apart.

But state GOP Chairman Kris Warner said there is no need for another party. Yeah, I bet he said that while swallowing hard

"The two major parties have served this nation and this state very, very well for the last 200 years," he said. Bet he didn't even blush when he basically said that the two major parties have jointly gotten us into the mess we are in

oh boy. The Clintonistas I'm sure will give this group aggressive support in an effort to create a spoiler for the '08 campaign.

Why don't you join Willie and go away. You add nothing but division around here.

I wonder how many people who use the term "RINO" also advocate a third party.

West Virginia needs to worry about finding Republican candidates for Senator who can replace Byrd and Rockefeller. Nice Senators the 'Rats have in West Virginia -- one is a Klansman, the other the great-grandson of a very wealthy businessman! That must make the pro-black, pro-union bloc in the 'Rat Party very proud!

Get two Republican Senators to replace Bobby and Johnny, and that will do more for Conservatism than any hopeless third party.

This is all about blocking & tackling. Did you see the way the Dems systematically blocked Nader's ballot access in the swing states? Seeking to reduce the choice to simply Bush vs. anti-Bush (Kerry)? The Republicans, if they are worthy of governing, must be willing to do the same in WVa.

The Constitution Party advocates a smaller, less intrusive federal government that operates within the strict framework of the U.S. Constitution and "its foundation in Biblical law."

Another collection of electoral circus clowns.

Most interesting. If they can work with the Republican Party in a coalition format, and not sabotage the Republicans at election time, it will be an effective voice.

Probably a Demcoratic Front Organization designed to whittle down the Republican vote.

I guess the Democrats figured out a way to keep themselves in power in West Virginia, divide and conquer.

Good news. I thought the CP was already organized in West V? This is nice to know after the good news from Montana:

" ... rejects U.S. participation in international trade, environmental and political organizations, including the United Nations."

Another Buchanan party - isolationists who have no perspective on reality concerning these issues. You can't be an ostrich and put your head in the sand.
