Look, you know and I know that the only political party out there that can defeat the Dems is the Republicans. There is no way on God's green Earth the Constitution Party has a chance.

Why don't you guys field some candidates for Congressional races instead of focusing on the Presidency, who is just a figurehead for the Executive Branch anyway? In fact that's what the Constitution Party should do - you'll achieve more of your goals in Congress than you would if you elect a President.

In many states, the Constitution Party is doing that, too. Some candidates are listed on the national website, and I've seen articles about other candidates for Congress and local races listed elsewhere.

Self-fulfilling prophecy.

When conservatives say this, they make it so. If every conservative whose positions were closer to those of the Constitution Party than those of the Republican Party (most of us, I suspect) voted Constitution, the party might have a chance. But they make sure that no truly conservative party can have a chance by deciding that they must vote Republican because it doens't have a chance. it's circular reasoning.

I thought we conservatives were smarter than that. Apparently, many of us are about as stupid as the liberals think we are.

In fact, I have long urged the Constitution Party to do just this -- most successful parties are built from the bottom up, not the top down. However, maintaining as much of a full line as possible is also important. It inclines voters to take you a bit more seriously. So having a name at the top of the ticket helps strengthen the ticket up and down.

Now thats constructive. Unlike those who just like to name call, and I agree with you. We should be focused on running a few people for Congress in districts where they will get attention and in ones they might win, then they will act as the consience of conservatives in the US House... although probably sitting in the GOP side.
