I once got caught up in this Constitution Party nonsense but my eyes got opened. They are no more righteous than the Republican and probably worse because these cowards know full well they have no chance of ever being elected to anything and they don't want to be elected.

In at least 14 blue states -- + D.C. -- Virgil Goode's chance of gaining the electoral votes of those states is exactly the same as Romney.

If these others are so pure, why don't they stay in the Republican party and fight and strengthen the Republican party?...Let's deal in reality, folks.

Let's deal with "reality"...

Not so many elections ago...the GoP had 35-36% of the registered voter pie.

Now? Now, it's down to 29%

You see, when your "big tent" gets so big that it doesn't really stand for anything anymore, then, yes, you're going to chase away plenty.

Now, obviously, the "leakage" has gone in many directions. Some liberal kids of conservative parents have bailed. Some have become libertarian independents. Some don't like GoP environmental policies.

But plenty have left because of the pro-abortion acceptance within the GoP.

Because if you can't stand for the least of these...then every other "right" is worthless in embracing.

For the case of senators and reps, where there is a choice between a deep RINO incumbent who has a record of siding with the Dems on important votes, versus a Dem, I would vote third party, just to eliminate the incumbent RINO.

For President, the time for selecting the ideal candidates was the primary. We didn't, mainly because no real candidate was perfect enough to satisfy the SoCons. Romney is what we have. We'll try harder next time.

I allege that anyone (including you) that votes "third party" is not prolife because what you're saying is that you prefer electing Obama to electing Romney and your cances of any pro-life legislation coming from Obama is ZERO. This guy voted against saving the lives of aborted babies you may have survived abortion.

If you are going to vote third party--you are pro-abortion. It's that simple.
