Sorry, compadre: I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. If you are on any other team, you won't find me volunteering to join...

Benedict Arnold upheld an oath to the King. You it seems want to hold up your own contrived oath to the Constitution, even if that means helping electing people(Dean or Hilllary) who will trash the Constitution beyond repair.

Oh well, I will respect your Constitutional right to free, but, IMO, naive speech.

Benedict Arnold upheld an oath to the King.

So, are you comparing everyone who swears an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States to "Benedict Arnold?" Does that include our servicemen and women in Iraq? Please be specific.

You it seems want to hold up your own contrived oath to the Constitution...

"Contrived?" Not hardly - it was mandated by law.

...even if that means helping electing people(Dean or Hilllary) who will trash the Constitution beyond repair.

You seem to be one of those people who discard the Constitution as you attempt to 'save' it. Now that's impressive...

Oh well, I will respect your Constitutional right to free, but, IMO, naive speech.

Why worry about my "Constitutional right to free... speech?" You suggest that personal "principles" should be more important to public servants than 'Constitutional rights.' What do your personal "principles" have to say about my "free speech" - and why should I give them more consideration than the Constitution?

Joseph Stalin had "principles," and so did Adolf Hitler. If you prefer "principles" to the Constitution, be honest enough to admit you would be happier with a monarchy or dictatorship than a constitutional republic...
