So should we support the Constitution Party?
I know I'm in. The Repubs exist to frustrate conservatives, and I'm ready for a change. While I don't agree with every position of the USCP 100%, it's a whole lot more hospitable to conservatives than the Whigs.
Romney was never meant to defeat Obama and thusly will not. This year gives conservatives an opportunity to field-test another alternative.
The only thing the Constitution Party is good for is a protest vote. Depending on the polls here, I may go that way for president, but what is more important is to make sure there are good republicans nominated for the downticket offers. Tim Walberg is usually good for congress. Most of the US Senate candidates in my state are acceptable, although some are better than others.
As my tagline states, the Republican Party is bigger than the presidency. Because the presidential nominee is unacceptable, doesn't mean that we should toss the good guys under the bus. Those that do are idiots.
“So should we support the Constitution Party?”
Conservatives need to educate first.
The reason Conservatives cannot get elected in sufficient numbers to matter on a national stage is because the status quo provides the fruits of government largesse no matter whether Republicans or Democrats are elected.
Asking people to vote for cutting their own government benefits without educating them first is a futile task.
Large numbers of supposed “conservatives” get government checks and/or benefits, and will never do the right thing if it means they lose those checks/benefits.
