Wow. They still can't win any elections, so they have to brag about putting up a new website. Color me unimpressed.

Actually their candidates have won election in a few local races since 2000.

If I vote for Bush in my state, and Bush doesn't win the state--and that state's electoral votes go to the competition--does this mean I "threw away my vote"?

[The_Eaglet]

A vote for a liberal or moderate is a vote for a liberal or moderate, regardless of what party label they wear.

Good point. Just because a candidate has an (R) attached to his name does not make necessarily make him conservative.

Wait until there's a viable 3rd party at the federal level before trying.

I am working to try to help the Constitution Party become a viable 3rd party. The last 3rd party cadidate to win Presidential election was Lincoln.

Nationally, Lincoln was elected by a good-sized margin in the Electoral College. However, in the popular vote he received 39.82 percent, with Douglas getting 29.46 percent. Breckinridge tallied 18.09 percent and Bell got 12.61 percent.

Kumba-Ya! Stupid liberal.

Could you please at least form a sentence so we could understand the point you are trying to make?

It appears that you are engaging in a verbal attack, but I think that you would know better than to do that here. If something else was your intention, please clarify.

The only time I consider someone throwing away their vote is when they vote for someone that doesn't stand for what they believe in. If you believe in what the liberal Democrats believe in vote for them, if you believe in what the "compassionate conservative" Republicans believe in vote for them, if you believe in the US Constitution, then vote for the candidate who will honor, protect and defend the US Constitution regardless of his/her party affiliation.

Both partisan Republicans and partisan Democrats have gotten so hungry for power, they have forgotten the US Constitution and the reasons why they are supposed to be in power.

I agree. I am praying that other concerned Americans take this approach, too.

Good point.

What is the present Constitutional party's candidate soultion for what is happening in San Francisco.

An answer that Bush is not doing enough is void.

I would like to hear a plan and not bashing Bush, if it is possible with your guys.

I have a feeling that there will be silence with my question.

[carenot]

If I feel ok with the vote in my heart, then to heck with what anyone else here or any place thinks. I will vote my conscience, not a party or a person.

I have voted for who I thought would make the best President from the time I could vote.

I see no difference in between the Rs and Ds.

[The_Eaglet]

An answer that Bush is not doing enough is void.

I agree, because this issue is a matter of California law and Bush is under no obligation to be involved.

I haven't seen a statement from Peroutka on this yet.

Jgrubbs time for you to trash Eaglet, the way you trash Bush.

Being that I'm not Michael Peroutka, I can't answer for him, I would suggest that you conact him and ask him your questions. I'm sure he would be more than happy to answer. He has answered all of my quesitons every time, I have called him. You can find his contact information online at http://www.peroutka2004.com/

Please remember to vote in November! America would be in better shape if more voters took this simple approach combined with some personal effort to research the available candidates.

I see no difference in between the Rs and Ds

I see some, but sometimes certain Republicans are alarmingly similar to Democrats in their performance if not in ideals.

I never trashed Bush for not doing anything in CA, I just posted Bush's current posistions on homosexuality on a different thread.

Does jgrubbs trash Bush, or is he raising concern about how Bush, through his positions and policies, trashes conservative principles or Constitutional limits of federal scope?

Could we have a link, please? :)

A question that you never answered on that thread, what part of Bush's many statements saying that marriage should be between a man and a woman don't you understand.

[Types_with_Fist]

Thank you. My sentiments exactly. Actually, I use this question whenever I ponder voting for a "third party," and I'm told, "you'll be throwing your vote away." My question is a good one, I think, to this argument, considering that whoever wins a state also wins all of that state's electoral votes. That being the case--on whichever "major party's" behalf the "throwing your vote away" argument is made--it seems to me that all but one candidate's supporters have "thrown their votes away."

That also being the case, my first questions begats others: "If my state goes 50%-29% against Bush, does that mean the GOP is not "viable"? How many votes are required--by whomever--for a particular party's nominee to be "viable"? What does this percieved "viability" have to do with voting my conscience? Should I vote for somebody BECAUSE they are more likely to win? Also, if I decide against voting for Bush (not that I'm doing so, mind you)--or for any "major candidate"--does this make me a "Rat, Leftist troll?"

Just curious. Not trying to start anything here...:-)

Voting 3rd party for presidential elections now truly is tossing your vote away. Wait until there's a viable 3rd party at the federal level before trying.

So how is there to be one if we refuse to vote for one?
