Consider helping your disenchanted Republican friends

[Thurston Howell IV]

From somewhere out on the web, I came across the following. You might want to pass this on to some of your Republican friends:

And don't go thinking that come November, conservatives have nowhere to turn but Bush. The Washington Times ran a really interesting piece today about the third parties challenging Bush from the right.

Three third-party presidential candidates have ballot access in more states than Ralph Nader. The Libertarian Party is now on the presidential ballot in 44 states and the Constitution Party in 35 states, both more than the 24 that Mr. Nader has managed amidst a concerted effort from state Democrats to thwart his bids.

The Libertarian and Constitution parties appeal to disenchanted conservatives who are fed up with the president's stance on immigration, too permissive in those quarters, or his coziness with centrist Republicans like Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter.

"We are playing to the conservatives who do not have a party to vote for," said Libertarian presidential hopeful Michael Badnarik. "For example, Republicans have traditionally stood for smaller government, but this president has not adhered to that standard."

Just trying to be helpful. To learn more:
