While you are correct about it being "safe" to vote for a 3rd party candidate as a protes from the standpoint of who will be in the office of the President. Still, you overlook the damage that can be done if the media starts saying "Well, Bush won the electoral college again, but he has to deal with the Democrats and Kerry because Kerry won the popular vote."

As much as I hate to say it, it's probably better to get as many Democrats out of office first, then once the Deocrat party is in ruin, run Libertarians or Constitution Party candidates as the alternative to the Republicans. At this point, anything that weakens the Republicans strengthens the Democrats, and that's really bad for the country.

That's the answer. And to defeat the Democratic party we first must defeat Socialism with our ideas, much the way Reagan defeated communism with military might.

And the only way to defeat Socialism is from the grassroots of our country. We must completely revamp the educational system by destroying the NEA. Educate our young with ideas of optimism and personal responsibility.

Once we accomplish this, the Democratic party crumbles.

Exactly. They're *still* harping on the popular vote issue from 2000!
