Katie, if you have problems with Rick Santorum’s social conservative views, you may think that the Constitution Party is Rick Santorum on steroids.
If we lived in a multiparty parliamentary democracy with proportional representation I might be a supporter of the Constitution Party. It's the closest thing the United States has to a realistic Christian political party. In a nightmare scenario of Rudy Giuliani and the pro-abortion, anti-gun, and anti-Christian liberal Republicans taking over the GOP, I might be willing to vote for the Constitution Party either as a protest vote or with the intention of actually creating a conservative alternative to a liberal-dominated GOP, but thank God, that's not going to happen. Free Republic was a factor in destroying Giuliani's credibility a few years ago, and as bad as Romney is, he's not as bad as Giuliani.
However, my goal is to win elections, we can't do that in America without getting 50 percent of the vote, and I believe in almost all circumstances a third-party vote does more damage than good. We're stuck with the Republican Party, warts and all, and anyone who was active in Republican politics thirty years ago knows that the GOP is tremendously better today than it was a generation or two ago. Progress has been slow, and sometimes things went backwards, but the GOP is going in the right direction.
Why do you think the Tea Parties have been fighting against the rinos?
