Let's see. We're talking about positions of strength here. Ok, in my view, the Republicans seem to be in a pretty strong position at the moment with Bush in the Presidency vs the Democrats. And, I presume you are suggesting that the Libertarians or some other unnamed "party of principle" is in a stronger position to defeat them? I don't think so.

What is right and constitutional is not dependent upon the ability to win an election for its justification.

If there were only 4 of us spitting into the wind, I would still chose the constitution over any pragmatic "realpolitik" policy decision meant to pander to this or that special interest.

I didn't make myself clear, I do that a lot.

What I meant was that we aren't operating from a position of strength when we over and over again keep accepting the lesser failure for fear of getting a greater one. We just keep getting differing degrees of failure. Electing socialist Repubs for fear of what may happen is operating from a postition of weakness.

Ef the LP. They have some great Americans but their I'd rather have anal warts then have to accept that platform.

You know, every time Repubicans actually stand up for conservatism (Ronald Wilson Reagan and the contract with America are perfect examples) we win in every way, including the polls.

If you're asking what the alternatives are I don't have all the answers. Maybe a "cleansing" of the party is in order, maybe handing out a few defeats in the primaries. Maybe we need to send W a clear message to quash his arrogance NOW before election time. I dunno, I'm just throwing stuff out there.

All I know is that the "we have to support these schmucks because we may get a dem" angle is way past being worn thin. We deserve better, YOU deserve better.

I can't figure you out JimBrother. You're like this brilliant guy who helped change the world yet you can't seem to get past simple DC party politics when this particular subject comes up. It's honesty the only area where I've seen you not be able to think outside the box. It's frustrating to the point where I want to just smash my head through my office wall.

How can a person be so dynamic and so dang conformist at the same time? I liked you better when you were pissed off and you were posting a lot of articles written by dead writers. I need to know that you're still on fire man, it really would make me feel better.
