“I have also been seeking an alternative conservative party and 2010 may be the year to test the water on that front. I started reading up on the Libertarians but Im not convinced???”
Libertarians great on economics. Great on social policy (it’s none of your business). Disappointed at the lack of courage on global warming. Wrong regarding open borders and military. Also disappointed in Libertarian choices for presidential candidates. So, I have been looking at other conservative parites: Constitution, etc as well as Repubs.
Yes, agree on the military stuff as well, on their website they kinda go off on them as not being concerned about the environment, but I know for a fact that most bases are kept pristine, so much so, that the land is coveted by developers, hunters, environmentalist, etc. Also,the Libertarians didn’t seem to have as much depth with respect to property rights, 2nd amendment, and anti-globalism...at least when compared to the Constitution Party. I have been talking to folks at the RNC as well, but they seem dazed and confused over there and its giving me an uneasy feeling. Thanks for your thoughts.
The Republican conservative party has got to grow and change from being a bunch of old pale, white haired men that only allows a candidate to emerge and have a turn at being President ... only after he has paid his dues for years,... which has prov en to be as losing policy.
THEY MUST GO FORWARD WITH YOUNGER STRONG CANDIDATES WITH TRUE CONSERVATIVE BASIS. Otherwise we are whistling past the graveyard.
One thing the democrats do that works, is get behind who ever their candidate is and supports him. They will vote for a yellow dog ... truly, if he were their candidate.
