FWIW: I voted for Howard Phillips in 1996. GWB in 2000, which I regret actually.
I held an (elected) seat as a Republican Precinct Committeeman...I agree 99% with the US Constitution Party...
On a one to ten scale, I am what might be considered an Ultra-conservative, example: I agree with the principle that only land owners should vote.

Maybe we are not too far apart, after all... I tend to be a conservative, with Libertarian-leanings, but find the whole "war" going on here at FR between conservatives and libertarians to be a waste of time and resources that could be better spent fighting the left (which is why E Pluribus' posts ticked me off, for what it's worth)...
I voted for Buchanan years ago, before he went nuts... ;0)

I like the idea of only property-owners being able to vote... I recall a quote from someone (I forget who) that stated something along the lines that when people discover they can vote themselves benefits, the Republic is doomed...

The criteria should be tax paying, not land ownership. Only those who actually pay for the government should have any say in how that governmetn operates. While all land owners pay taxes, they do not all pay federal taxes, and in federal elections that should be the criteria.
