True to your screen name, you have a lot of gumption for attempting to assert a 'moral equivalence' between this kind of sleeze and the Constitution Party. If the CP has a problem, it is that they are too honest to get elected to anything. That could change quickly when people finally get fed up and put honesty first.

Attempting moral eqivilence between the CP and the GOP is about like those who tried to assert moral equivalence between us and the Soviets in the 80s just because our society is not perfect. Forget moral equivalence- Bush is a better man than Saddam. His party is better than the Baath party- it is just not good enough for America.

No party made of human beings is going to be perfect, and no one if free from temptation. Don't try to put words in my mouth. I simply state the plain truth- the Republican party has grown corrupt, the Constitution Party has not.

What is more, the policy positions of the CP help safeguard them against corruption. They don't want to buy senior's votes with your children's future earnings like GW Bush does. They don't want a 'global economy' where we are inextricably linked to unfree societies so that if their economy tanks ours does too. The Chinese won't be buying our politician's families for favors. They know we will stop what they are doing to our economy.

The CP are for being the friend of Liberty everywhere, but the gaurantor of ours alone- we won't be sending your kids to every mudhole on earth to defend any corporate interests.

Any nations we do have to war on, we won't waste blood and treasure trying to 'nation build' afterwards. As if a bunch of weasels who let Saddam's sons rape their daughters for 30 years could be made into a free nation regardless of their lack of courage and character.

There are no gaurantees in this world, someday, the CP might become as corrupt as the GOP clearly has become now. If and when that time comes I will leave it. Right now, the CP is honest and the GOP is not. I know where honest men belong.

I know where honest men belong.

Third parties do not have a record of success in this country, so honest men must fight the good fight in the majors - however difficult and unrewarding that fight may be.

The Internet has given an incredible voice to the average man. He can speak to hundreds of thousands of people without spending millions on advertising. That's great.

But you can only tell people about honesty and show them what honest behavior looks like. If they don't want it, or can't resist the temptations of quick wealth, there's not much that can be done.
