The Constitution Party would fair better if they weren't so extremely anti-Republican. Heck, most of them used to be Republicans. They should recognize -- if they are true to their claim that principles trump politics -- that many Republicans are their principled allies. But instead they get ridiculously focused on the Republican Pary, often more than the Democrat Party, simply because they want to drive people away from the Republican Party and into their own camp. That's not principled. It's the same sort of thing they accuse everyone else of: Power trumps principle. When they stop being so anti-Republican then maybe I'll listen to what they are saying.
I take no one seriously who says the Republicans and Democrats are one in the same.
