You're referring to Howard Phillips. (BTW, Alan Keyes says that Howard "has the right principles." Dr. Dobson spoke openly of the fact that he voted for Phillips in 1996 at least.) They ran against both because both Gore and Bush are Big Government guys. Look at Bush's domestic record. it's everything Howard Phillips (and Pat Buchanan) warned us it would be. He has given in to the liberals on virtually every point, giving them 80-90 percent, if not 100 percent, of what they wanted. Could Gore do worse domestically? I don't see how. When Democrats are in charge, it's as if you're driving off a cliff at 100 MPH. At leasat Republicans drive within the speed limit. But we're still going off the cliff. We need to turn the car around. The GOP shows no inclination to do that, as more and more conservatives are learning. The Constitution Party does. You can check out the party's platform at its website: www.constitutionparty.com
I couldn't agree more. Good luck trying to do it with the Constitution Party. You're only going to help the Democrats but I'm sick of arguing with purists. We want the same things but we disagree as to the best way to achieve those ends.
We need to work together but I supported the Constitution Party until I saw that Howard Philips would rather have Gore for president than Bush. That did it for me. Never again.
