Langville vs. Garcia-Quintada?

I don't usually like posting unfortunate news, but this is definitely something which needs to be addressed. It seems that the Greenville County Constitution Party has for a third consecutive race ended up in a battle with an at least fair conservative opponent. Only, this time, we are not talking about a Sid Cates who does not take action. We are talking about an outspoken man who has fought on our side as a Reagan/Ron Paul Republican for years: Roan Garcia-Quintada. This is the race for SC Senate District 7.

Of course, neither John Langville (the CP candidate) nor Mr. Roan can be blamed for this occurence. They both filed on the same day (last Saturday). Both probably hoped to avoid such a contest by filing so late. What is clear is that there is a deep lack of communication between those working for continued American liberty.

I believe that one of these two candidates should drop out as soon as possible. We cannot afford to waste time and energy on a race of this nature. If neither candidate drops out, I believe neither of the candidates should be supported. It is much more efficient to work as private citizens at the State House anyway.

Hopefully, reality will be faced and we will have only ONE solid constitutionalist running for this particular seat in November.
