[Mark Bahner]

Is this what the choice has come down to? I have to choose between a candidate who makes no pretense of conservatism/Constitutionality, or choose one who does it behind my back.

In 2000, you had a choice...for Constitutionality (though not for "conservatism"...since "conservatism" today means Big Government). And not pretend Constitutionality, either. The Real Deal of Constitutionality.

Harry Browne would have absolutely followed the Constitution. He'd have shut down the federal government to do it (since 90% of what the federal government does is unconstitutional). But he would have followed the Constitution.

"In 2000 you had a choice..."

Yep, and I fell for the "vote for a 3rd party candidate, and we'll get Gore" routine. Well, I turned the other cheek and got that one slapped too.

But this is ugly on my face, not stupid. The Republicans, and Bush in particular are now a distant memory for me. I will be looking closely at Harry Browne, and others of his ilk.

Harry Browne would have already been impeached.
