The most common thing I hear from folks on this site when they chastise me for supporting the Constitution Party is that the CP hasn't won anything and, for all intents and purposes, that's true. Some have explained to me it's because their platform is alike to the GOP so there isn't any difference. That is untrue. To this point I've not seen anyone related to the CP advocate out of control government spending, allowing the borders to be wide open to illegals, and the selling out of the morality in this country. However I can't say the same of the GOP as a whole. There are some fine candidates working for the GOP and they should be supported and advocated wholeheartedly. IMO, the GOP has become too satisfied with its successes in recent elections and has ceased to work for its conservative base. So, where does one who feels like I do go? Well, you know the answer to that.

Let me pose this of you: What is it that you're afraid of in supporting the Constitution Party and why the venom toward those who advocate it? Is it because the 'Rats might win both houses in Congress and the White House in '06 or '08 (respectively) due to divide allegience? It could happen. I certainly hope it won't but I can't see supporting a GOP candidate only because they're GOP. I was taught in Civics class freshman year in high school that the power to vote gave you the right to support the person/ideology that best suited your own perspective. Frankly the GOP doesn't fulfill that requirement anymore. I'll admit that garnering support long-term for the CP will be an uphill climb but that doesn't mean it isn't worth fighting for, especially since I don't believe the GOP really cares if we feel alienated or not(pun intended).

I appreciate your question regardless of the sarcasm attached to it. At least in America (for now) we can have this discussion without fear of retribution which still makes this the very best country in the world. May God bless America!

The Constipation Party is completely opposed to the War on Terror, just as the Libertarian Party is.

That won't cut it with most Americans. I'm surprised you'd support a party that would rather fight the terrorists here, rather than where they live.
