... Keush/Buerry.

If you don't see any differences between Bush and Kerry, you got a serious problem. I'd call it short term political amnesia, but that would be too nice. Better yet, lets call it, empty braincase syndrome.

Oh this is funny.

If the constitution party was big enough to make a difference, I would like joining them. But, they have ZERO impact. The vote is so small it barely registers and makes the Green Party look like a massive swelling of support.

All the little rightist third parties totaled up don't even make up half the nutty lefty party membership.

In short: they matter nothing.

By the way, your good buddy rove is the one who rabidly spewed to Congressman Tom Tancredo to 'LEAVE THIS WHITE HOUSE AND DON'T EVER DARKEN OUR DOORSTEP AGAIN'.

"I surmise you have the warm and fuzzies about those actions by clinton and the demos."

No. The Democrats $uck too, only in slightly different ways. It seems Republicans and Democrats both see holding power as more important than principle. I don't like either one.

As someone once said, "In a fight between a snake and a rat, it doesn't pay to take sides".

Some people just gravitate toward jackboots, Dane. It's their resolve that the rest of us better get in line that passes me by.

Oh, another reason why the Constitution Party and Liberarians won't be a factor: they aren't even considered a factor by the news media (except for Reuters of course...lol).

ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, MSNBC, CNN......they will talk all day about Ralph Nader but give the Libertarians and Constitution Party folks nothing.

Still more political naifery!

There is NO guarantee that both House will remain in the hands of the GOP and the slimmest of slim majority the GOP holds in the Senate,is smoke and mirrors at best.

By voting for a fringe candidate for president,in the hopes that both Houses would keep a Kerry presidency in check,is palpably foolish and delusional!

Clinton got away with LOTS,even when the GOPers were pressing him with welfare reform and balanced budgets.Kerry wouldn't be any different!And to assume that your daydreams would be better than a second term of President Bush,is silly and detrimental to all of us.

Just thank GOD,that there are enough of us out here,working to re-elect President Bush,to save your sorry rears.

You're right. Presidential nominations to the SC is not only a major issue, its a critical issue too. My point is, third party candidates on the right totaled 1.1% of the entire vote in 2000. You've got to make allowences for fringe misfits and extremist militants in every general election.

"..And since you seem to love RINOS so much,..."

A RINO is not a Republican office holder who may have supported some issues with which many Republicans may disagree. By definition, a RINO (Republican In Name Only) is a self professed Republican who will not vote for the Republican candidate versus other candidates in any given race. To believe or espouse anything else is politically dishonest, arrogant, and, in the end, anti-conservative.

let's see you try to address all the specific issues i outlined above. And yes, i realize that there is a stark difference between them in their rhetoric. I am talking about their actions and the results that they yield. Actually, congress and republican voters probably wouldnt support half the stuff Bush promotes if those exact same things were done by kerry.

Seems like the Republican Party isn't doing enough to keep some conservatives' votes!

If by "conservatives" you mean the extreme religious right who want to establish an American-Christian theocracy, then I say good riddance to bad rubbish. Pat Robertson and all of those kooks can go form their own damn party.

These parties aren't serious about being alternatives. Why are they squandering money on a losing campaign rather than funding accumulation of state legislature seats and local government seats, which cost a great deal less. With a base of smaller government positions, they would be in a position to fund raise more powerfully and actually have credentials.

As is, these guys are indulging their own egos in a fundamentally unethical way. They know they will not win, and they are taking donor money anyway, rather than using that money to party-build.

JMo, but you seem to want to wear a faux jackboot behind your neck 24/7 and walk down the runway proclaiming how opressed you are 24/7.

You think the definition of a RINO is someone who doesn't blindly, completely support anyone with an 'R' next to their name?


That is not what a RINO is. The term RINO describes someone who belongs to the R party, but yet espouses and supports leftist/liberal agenda of the democrats/marxists/socialists.

I hope you take offense.  Hell, I hope you take TWO!  I also operate  blogs harshly critical of social conservative fascism.  Listening to you wail is music to my ears.

I told you he doesn't suffer fools.

And Tancredo is the poster child of fools. I do have to give him credit for crawfishing faster than any other Congressman I ever seen when the little twit found out that the 5% remittance tax someone duped him into proposing was aimed specifically at the largest employer in his district.

Idiot, pure idiot.

Let me put it this way. You're either gonna side with Bush, or your against him. This is a time for unity on the right, not division. The objective is to stop Kerry, while advancing conservatism and GOP majorities. No one is expecting unanimity. There will be plenty of time to hold Bush`s feet to the fire once he's reelected. If you're a member of the one-percent fringers, then you might as well be in a minority of zero.

Btw, Tom Tancredo and Tom McClintock support the reelection of Bush-Cheney.

>>> Jorge Bush

Watch it Wilbur. That's uncalled for.
