BUMP!

I know I won't be supporting the Constitution Party any more since they are opposed to Operation Iraqi Freedom even after congress followed The Constitution and gave the President full authority to do so. Apparently they are as confused as Robert Byrd and carry their copies of the constitution around in their left pockets!

Yes. The Constitution party is irrelevant, just like any other third party. I even supported them at one time until the last election when Howard Philips ran against George Bush, not Al Gore. I realized then it was more about Howard Philips than the cause.

I hate to start this argument again, but the Constitution party and the Reform Party, etc., can only help the Democrats.

Go Greenies!!

You're right. They have made themselves even more irrelevent than they were before.

Too bad in some ways, really. I think alot of Howard. I think he is a good and a sincere man. But I think he allowed himself to fall into the very things he has decried, unfortunately.

People need to face up to the fact that we live in a two-party system, and that is unlikely to change in our lifetimes.

If folks aren't happy with the GOP, or with a particular policy, the only way they are going to change it is from within. If you have the truth on your side, you should, with enough work, be able to convince a majority within a majority within the majority party of the United States.

I can name several major issues that we have succeeded in swinging public opinion on greatly in the past decade. Some of them have not yet resulted in policy changes, but we get closer all the time.
