Fact 4: I care less than . much about your opinion.
LOL! If you believe empty promises and ignorant comments disregarding the Constitution are conservative...well, you and Kerry deserve each other.
CP and LP confuse the purpose of an ideology with the purpose of a political party. They are related, but different ... political parties are useless if they dont unite people to garner enough for political power. pulling 1% is not political power, that's being a flea-bite on the major parties ... to get that power requires UNITY and coalition-building, but 3rd parties by their defnition are DISUNITY oriented and coalition-breaking.
CP folks are a key part of activist base in the GOP;
the freedom/free-enterprise elements are as well.
LP just breaks off that coalition.
since they confuse their purposes, they only manage to create anti-productive results.
