My phrasing and tact can always be improved but, frankly, I have little patience with the 3d party crowd and do like antagonizing them. In fact, that is one of the reasons I adopted my screename.
I have no problem with 3d parties endorsing Republican or conservative candidates when the opponents are clearly clueless Leftists such as Senator Buckley's party in NY decades ago, the Conservative Party. That way they can pursue their principles without damaging conservativism. But most are not intelligent enough for that tack.
to elaborate on our discussion, as GOP dominance in the Congress becomes more entrenched..(IMHO..at least for the next two decades) I think we will see the GOP caucus becomign far more conservative..as the primaries become the way to power...the Toomey/Spector contest hopefully will be the last we see of that type..
