I am a member of the American Patriot Party. For the 2004 election, we will not be having a member of our party moving forward to attempt to compete in the Presidential race. I have clearly identified myself repeatedly as a member of the Patriot Party. I'm not "all over the map". I stated that I will vote Constitution Party or Libertarian because I firmly believe that the only way to enact real change is to actualy make a change.

I think that power is called "We the People" — voters across the country. The majority doesn't seem to agree with you at this time.

The majority of the people think they don't have a choice. They don't know any different and the media and people like you don't give any creedance to the chance for a new party to move forward. So, it has to be done through a grass roots method. "We the People" as you refer to, for the most part, want to do the things in their daily lives that allow them to just meander through the day, and be entertained on the weekend. They usually don't care too much about politics except around election time. Informed positions and informed consumers for the most part usually entertain the ideas of freedom and liberty differently than the average Joe. I think, given time and positions, the positons of our party, which are for personal freedom and reduction of waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government will win out.

Strangely enough, we've seen basically, that the movie The American President has many truisms. Despite the liberal slant, some of the quotes were perfect for our time.

People want leadership, and in the absence of leadership, they will listen to anyone who steps up to the microphone.

The Democrats, mainly John Kerry are "stepping up to the microphone". But the problem is, so is Bush. He's not providing the conservative leadership he needs to. So, if you think that leading people to conservative decisions in their voting are not a positive thing, then move over. And if you think that my vote doesn't count, or is for the Democrat, you're just wrong. EVERY vote counts. (Unfortunately, that also includes the fraud votes in some states.)

As for the cute idea of pasting together some of my comments to make it look like I've got some sort of persecution complex, you have to admit that you have been somewhat agressive in your lashing out at me for not worshipping at the shrine of the GOP.

I am a member of the American Patriot Party. ...I will vote Constitution Party or Libertarian...

You made my point.

The majority of the people think they don't have a choice. They don't know any different...

And, of course, you know better than them, you're smarter than them, more politically aware than them, superior in every way...

Fragmenting the conservative base across a bunch of third rate Third Parties will enable the Liberals for years to come, IMO. Maybe that's your goal.
