If a new party did Celebrity Death Match with Lyndon LaRouche fighting Buchanan, winner gets nominated, they'd get the fun vote! |

Just keep Pat Buchanan out of it and it might succeed over time.
Searched his name, which gave several Web-sites. Choose the political site {I forget it's name, but you'll find it.}, and went to the place in the site that says "Contact us".
I'm sure there's a phone number and snail mail address to, but I sent the e-mail.
Tom says he is running for Congress in the 5th District against Jim Cooper. Okay, I live in the 5th District and have not seen any campaigning, rallies or fundraisers for this mystery man and his obscure party.
How can you win if you don't run? Writing net articles won't get er done.
In fact his anti-Hillary rally wasn't even held in the 5th District..year of the Constitution Party my arse.
That doesn't sound like a pacifist to me.
I thought things improved greatly in 94 and 2000 and 2004 with GW, but I think he's made some bad mis-steps with illegal immigration and his refusal to veto spending increases. I'm at the point I will vote against BOTH Georgia Senators AND my Congressman simply because I haven't heard them speak out enough against what's going on with illegals. Chamblis is a calculating sleazeball politician and Johnny Isaksson hasn't ever met a public post he wouldn't run for.
If someone like Herman Cain or Zell Miller comes along, I'll vote for him in a heartbeat. At least they (or those like them) won't stand talking to you saying one thing while pissing down your leg when you aren't looking.
Specifically what races do you see this happening? In the Senate, there are no RINOs that are going to be replaced by conservatives. If Laffey beats Chafee in the RI primary, we will have a liberal representing RI in the Senate instead of a RINO. In Chafee's case (ACU rating =12) that is fine with me. But there are no other Senate races where there is a conservative still running against a RINO.
Your efforts are too late to effect the 2006 races, except to elect liberals.
No, the constitution party continues to be the party of the wasted vote.
If they were serious, instead of being loyal Moby useful idiots, they would form a "constitution caucus" and work to change the republican party from within.
If the constitution parter were anything but a bunch of fringe left overs they would have the organization and manpower to go into the primaries and caucuses to make their votes and voices matter.
As it stands now, a vote for the constitution party is a vote for Hitlary, Kerry, Algore, Edwards, BJClinton, Reid, and Pelosi.
Bush hasn't really appointed any strict constructionists either. Roberts and Alito had record and rhetoric of defending Roe v. Wade or abortion legislation, and Alito's first supreme court ruling cancelled the sentence of a convicted rapist.
It could happen in any race with a Constitution Party candidate. It's too late to do something about 2004 (or 2005), but it's not too late to do something about 2006 until November.
Adults understand getting SOME of what they want is better then getting NOTHING. Complaining endlessly does not excuse an Adult of the burden of actually DOING things. Complaining is NOT a substitute for taking action as a certain segment of Frepeer seem to think. They are NOT "helping the Conservative Movement" standing around complaining constantly about everything.
Frankly most Freepers have stopped even listening. We hear the SAME thing over and over and over from the Perpetually Whining. Since no matter WHAT happens all they do is complain why waste anytime on them? Since this group of constant complainers never stand FOR something, there is no reason for anyone to want to stand WITH them . It just the same old "do it my way or I will take my ball and go home" ranting we hear from this group on every issue. Politically irrelevance is what they seek, We should just tell them don't let the door hit your butts on the way out the door.
See this is what their temper-tantrum is about. They NEED us to validate them. What they want if for Freepers to beg and grovel for them to stay.
Why should we bother? They never stand with us on ANYTHING so which fringe group they run off to is a matter of supreme indifference. They will only repeat the same behavior in that group.
The people who spend 100% of their times complaining emotional stick to nothings without the Adult facilities of maturity and judgment. These are people who are never going to be anything but political irrelevances. They think that complaining endlessly excuses them for DOING things and working for they supposedly believe in.
Actually getting stuff done requires commitment and effort. Standing around sneering at anyone doing things is the behavior of the High School lunch room not the real world. Sneering and complaining is easy. Any Teenager does it endlessly every day.
Not all local elections are run offs.
No all local elections are even partisan.

I like the CP party and pay attention to politics but I can't name a single CP candidate. Are these guys in hiding?
The current political environment is ripe for a viable third party but none are emerging.
And, if one were to delve deeper, one would find there are other Libertarian principals that conservatives find unacceptable.
Which is why I've gone from being a capital "L" Libertarian to a small "l" libertarian.
Post #5 on this thread says it all:

As long as we are putting forth hypotheticals, 'What if Bush and the Senate Republicans accurately represented the will of the people. If their consciences are so seered that they cannot, then go to the lectern and convince conservatives that giving the country away to scores of millions of aliens is best for the country. Show us where the collective will of 85% of the public is off base on this issue and we will follow. They will not do it because there is not rhyme or reason other than perceived political gain to the goddamn politicians." To those who believe that loosing the next election is worse than loosing your country, you might want to ruminate on that a while. This isssue is more than a vote to increase your taxes, or earmark a billion for a bridge to knowhere. Or you might consider this: "Is there no issue which rises above the need for your party affiliation dominence of the political landscape? Are not your chosen leaders lying to you more unsavory than democrats lying to you? You know the dems are liars from the beginning. Now we find we are being fragged by our own. Which is the harshest cut? The choice of taking this senate and administration to the woodshed seems inevitable. They asked for it and now they will reap their own whirlwind. This is a 1 % majority country now. I believe the Republican in the senate have driven off more than 1%, if only to stay home from the poles. This is not the doing of the electorate. It is the doing of nefarious, self-serving Republicans, who are requiring voters to check their opinions at the door and fall in line or else. In the words of Harry Callahan, "I am afraid you have misjudged me."
Perhaps. Voting for the lesser of the two evils hasn't worked very well has it?
What's that definition of insanity? Robotically doing the same thing over and over while hoping for different results?
