Border security has caused some people to look at the Libertarian Party, only to discover that they favor open borders.

And, if one were to delve deeper, one would find there are other Libertarian principals that conservatives find unacceptable.

"2006: the year of the Constitution Party?"
No, but this talk plus stupid talk from the liberal-tarians about a third party might make things just right for a rat take over.

Interesting. I don't find CP candidates appealing in my state this year but if you have some hopeless Chafee-type RINO up against a Dim on the ticket, it's not a completely unreasonable choice.

When you hate both of the Dim-GOP candidates to the bottom of your gut, tellig people to vote the lesser of two evils is, well, evil.

Maybe.
Maybe.
I'll think about it. But my real inclination is just to stay home, and I've already sent Dr. James Dobson an e-mail, urging him to call a voter boycott of 2006 for social conservatives.

I sincerely hope he does. 2006 is going to set the tone for 2008.

If it is the Year of the Constitution Party then the Celebrations will all be renamed:

The Year of the Liberals!

Two words:

Runoff elections

I need to know that I'm not electing demokkkrats when I vote for a third party candidate. Until then, it will never happen. We need runoff elections, i.e. a guarantee that nobody will ever hold a public office with less than 50% of the vote, and that nobody will ever need fear to vote his first choice, at least on a first ballot.

Is it patriotic to continue a war that was started without a Constitutionally-required declaration of war?

I'm so very certain that Al-Qaeda had Robert's Rules of Order in mind when they did

THIS!!!

The CP are pacifists. Screw them. There are no political parties which support me or my fellow soldiers in the field. I'm staying home.

So, perhaps 2006 really is "the year of the Constitution Party."



Only in Tom's mind.

This move is GUARANTEED to elect Democrats to a majority. If any fringe party needs to be strengthened, it is the Greens. The Greens drive the dim candidates to the left and make the voters aware of dim "core values". The best way to insure more conservative policies by Republicans is to make our majorities LARGER so that there will be no need to enlarge the tent.

Just keep Pat Buchanan out of it and it might succeed over time.

No, the constitution party continues to be the party of the wasted vote.

If they were serious, instead of being loyal Moby useful idiots, they would form a "constitution caucus" and work to change the republican party from within.

If the constitution parter were anything but a bunch of fringe left overs they would have the organization and manpower to go into the primaries and caucuses to make their votes and voices matter.

As it stands now, a vote for the constitution party is a vote for Hitlary, Kerry, Algore, Edwards, BJClinton, Reid, and Pelosi.

I went the Libertarian route after the Republicans failed to do the right thing and remove Clinton from office. I found the Libertarians, though they may have some good ideas, would "rather be right than elected." The open border thing was a deal-breaker, too. Right now, I consider myself a conservative without a party.

I like the CP party and pay attention to politics but I can't name a single CP candidate. Are these guys in hiding?

The current political environment is ripe for a viable third party but none are emerging.

Which is why I've gone from being a capital "L" Libertarian to a small "l" libertarian.

True conservatives vote based on their values, not for parties.

2008 not 2006, we must support the R's (and D's) in both the House and Senate that are trying to stop Bush and his pal Ted Kennedy.
