Partisan

If I were politically active, I think I might join the Constitution party! Can you imagine me joining some nondescript idealistic group of political crusaders? Nah, but they make a lot of sense.

I heard their presidential candidate on the Michael Medved Show today and he was fascinating! He called the two major parties Socialist Party [a] and Socialist Party [b]! And he kept telling Medved that he was making a logical error in his reasoning that would be the fatal flaw to his ideas. Medved was trying to say that a vote for the Constitution party was a vote wasted, especially since it would take away from votes toward the Bush campaign, but the dude said no, you've got to vote your conscience and you can't assume that any political candidate has no chance. If you don't vote your conscience, if you settle for "the lesser of two evils" there's no way you'll get what you want.

It's interesting how much I blather about politics on this page. I think it has something to do with the fact that my position on politics and my relationship to--and view of--the government is unsettled as yet.
