That was not a suggestion for solving the problem, that was an attempt at criticism. I asked how would someone solve the problem of Republicans acting like conservatives and constitutionalist without: 1 voting for a third party and thereby electing a Democrat or 2 not voting and thereby electing a democrat. (I expanded this for clarity)

Bravo! That is just the point!! That is why we have Democrats running this country. That is why Tom Daschle can obstruct the voting of the senate on a judicial appointment.
That is why Condit is on the Intelligence Committee. Do you think these things would happen with a Republican majority in the house and senate. We have NEW GOOD CANDIDATES running for election as Republicans. Find out who they are and support them. Robert Levy for Congress in the 27th Congressional District against Brad Sherman. David Hernandez, Jr. in the 28th District, and Scott Johnson in the Marina area against Jane Harman, just to name a few here in Southern California.

I am sorry you misunderstood my suggestion. It was not intendended as an attempt at criticism. It is something I would suggest to everybody who has more than a passing interest in political philosophy.

If I wanted to criticise you there would be absolutely no ambiguity in my intentions.
