To: A Strict Constructionist
I personally think we have bigger fish to fry this election than to put in a protest vote.

We get the same argument every four years. That argument is no longer good enough. If not now, when?

This is it. This is the line in the sand. I will no longer vote against candidates when in fact I have a candidate, like Goode, whom I can vote FOR. Besides, if you're voting for mitt, isn't that in itself nothing more than a protest vote against the fraud? Why not instead vote FOR the candidate who advances those things we are FOR.

We also have to realize what is Constitutional and what is left up to the States and the people.

Forming a political party for Constitutionalists is is a power left to the states and the people ourselves. It is a daunting enterprise, but not an insurmountable one. I tried going along with the GOPe way repeatedly to no avail.

When you try to build a Conservative structure on quicksand repeatedly and see the foundation pulled from underneath, you soon realize that it is better to move to firmer ground and start over. Right now, unless the Tea Party is ready to establish ourselves as a political party, the Constitution Party is the only firm ground around in this swamp.

I thought that TEA stood for taxed enough already. A group that had one goal smaller government. That leaves a lot of areas for disagreement over social issues. I personally will drink the tea and leave the social to the States. Even the TEA party movement is already being perverted to individual motives. Just my opinion as I’m a Strict Constructionist.
