My basic reservation about jettisoning President Bush is that at this point the Constitution Part has no chance whatsoever to win the Presidency in November. It seems to me that since Bush HAS signed a partial-birth abortion ban and IS advocating the FMA re same-sex marriages being banned (when he is indeed taking heat for doing so), those who are blaming him for abortion not being stopped and for the advance of gay rights need to reconsider. He can only do so much, frankly. It will not be his fault if the FMA does not make it through Congress, and he can do nothing about Roe vs. Wade at this point. (I read an email from some self-appointed "prophet" claiming God would judge Bush on those two issues, among others, and he would not be re-elected because of this. Supposedly this guy had a divine revelation. I think if he had a divine revelation my name is Joseph Smith. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />)

What I would urge the Constitution Party and its adherents to do is work on building a political base from the ground up. Don't start out tearing the Republican Party down re the Presidency--all you will do is hand it over to the Democrats. What is needed is to start running credible candidates in local elections, build a base there, then move up to the state level, then move on up to Congress. This will take time, but it is the only way in today's political world to build a true nationwide third party that has a possibility to impact American politics for good on a long-term basis. Who wants to be another Perot or Nader?
