This thread was about the desirability of the Constitution party candidate for the Presidency because of one issue—amnesty. I’m not for amnesty but voting for this guy wouldn’t stop it from happening at all. It would merely register one’s antipathy in a futile gesture.
I don’t think you can stop amnesty unless you get a President in the WH who can use the veto. The Congress is surely going to be solid Dem.
Amnesty is only one of the issues/problems we’ll have to deal with if Obama is elected.
Conservative voters in blue, winner-take-all states could wield some influence by voting third party, lessening McCain's mandate in Congress for "comprehensive amnesty", moderate judges, and erosion of First & Second Amendment rights. It would demonstrate to otherwise spineless GOP congressmen that there remained a block of votes to the right of McCain and the RNC. Whereas, a vote for MCCain under those circumstances would strengthen his ability to herd Republicans in the House and Senate to back him. He would be less likely to veto and more likely to compromise with his "friends across the isle" (who, lest we forget, he almost joined - but I digress).
I'm trying to point out that the consequences of "No choice but McCain" can be just as thoughtless - and damaging - by those poo-pooing alternatives.
We'll have a liberal in the Whitehouse either way. The real question is how best to strengthen the hand of those few conservatives left is Congress against either one of them.
