[Consort]

Well, if you won't defend him, then eventually, you're going to find yourself in the camel situation with lots of straws there.

No, I won't.

I intend to vote for the Constitution Party this election cycle in most cases, and LP in others, because at this time, we don't have any candidates in the North Carolina or national races.

I think that's a cop-out. It's like some who are Pyrrhically posturing themselves to be able to say "I told you so" if Bush loses in November.

No. Unless the Constitution Party doesn't have a candidate I feel is a good person, I will vote in support of their party. I think that eventually, we will be in a position that we will manage a merger or coalition between our two parties. There are enough similarities that we can work together, but enough differences that I believe our party should be different, or the way to go. It's not a "cop-out" or Pyrrhic posturing. When I get done with November 2, 2004, I will believe Bush will win. If I am wrong, I will double my efforts to bring down the Democrats. It is not a party issue, but a power issue for our country. I think they are wrong, and the reasons they are winning is that there are enough of them who are conservative but not allowing themselves to vote Republican. So, I'm going to try to siphon off the D's that I can to make sure that the conservative movement moves forward. Republicans and Patriots, NOT Democrats.
