Please tell me how the "dem lites" differ from the real dems other than they spend at a slightly difference pace than the real dems. Both parties cater to special interest groups and when it comes time to get re-elected, they throw their so-called "base" a few nuggets to quiet the sheep.

Please tell me what voting for a third party, or not voting at all, will do other than electing real dems?

It's not that I totally disagree with you on the Constitutional issues, but considering that in the last presidential election half of the nation voted for "real dems" and half voted for "dem lite" - and IIRC less than 5% voted for "real conservatives".....

I'd like to know if you have a constructive strategy on changing the mindset of the voters, if you have a suggestion about a 'real conservative who could both get elected AND accomplish something, or if you're basically planning on 'taking your ball and going home.'

They are all real dems regardless of the D or R. The main diff is that the dems would slap us in the face all at once with their big government schemes while the Rs will stroke our faces with piece meal implementation of big government. kind of like putting us to sleep and when we wake up we say wha' happened"?
What has happened, good people is, samo, samo. Just a matter of degrees on reaching the same goal.

He most likely is going to vote for a candidate that shares his concerns and ideals. That is not the same as 'taking your ball and going home.'
I will do the same and if you Republicans want my vote you had better run a candidate for which I can vote. If you don't care to do that, don't come whining to me if you lose.
How many more votes are you going to throw away with your whiny scare tactics? REPUBLICANS lost the Perot election because they didn't care about all the people that voted for him. REPUBLICANS did not think the Perot vote was important and we all paid the price for that mistake. But it WAS THE REPUBLICANS MISTAKE and it could very well happen again. Trying to blame the voters when they are only offered a really poor choice is not going to fly forever.
