[Demidog]

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.

Oh my. A lecture on right and wrong coming from Demidog. I am thrilled.

Ok, you've convinced me. I'll vote for Harry Browne and allow Hillary Clinton/Gore/Daschle/Gephardt (whomever) to win the Presidency. And, I'll sit at home and not vote for the Republican for Senate because he is not pure enough for you. This will ensure that Boxer/Feinstein, et al, continue to hold the Senate and the Democrats control of the agenda.

Now, we can all sit back and bitch, cry, moan and whine while Hillary, et al, pack the Supreme Court with liberals and install their slate of liberal activists throughout the federal judiciary. And together we can enjoy our righteousness as they destroy the shredded remnants of the Constitution. Joy to the world.


But at least we can be secure and smug in the knowledge that we did the principled and right thing.
