You might be interested in this fine alternative, Jim, considering how the GOP-E is trying to finish stuffing the vile Romney down our throats.

Interestingly, I`ve been asking that same question of the Republican Party as it pulls Mitt Romney across the primary finish line, arranging a sacrificial lamb for Obama to slaughter. Somehow, they`re of the mindset that the guy who couldn`t beat the guy who lost by a landslide to 0bama is the “right choice” because he`s viewed as “the most electable.”

So, c`mon pubbies... seriously???


Good imagery. I like your post.

No offense guys but, seriously?

Typical reaction from the GOP-e. First, there's mocking disbelief.

What is the Constitution Party? And what do they stand for and against? (It’s Saturday & I’m to lazy to search through all that Google stuff)

“Typical reaction from the GOP-e. First, there’s mocking disbelief.”

Second is the “If Obama is re-elected, we’ll have a disaster of Biblical proportions” reaction.... as if running and electing someone who supports gay marriage, gun control, and Romneycare somehow isn’t a disaster itself.

Then there's GOP-e's Wormtongue ploy...

"If you don't vote for Romney, Obama will win, and it will be ALL...YOUR...FAULT!"

Right before that comes the attempt to legitimatize Romney by name dropping: Republican Brand X public figure is endorsing him!

Seven Principles of the Constitution Party:

Life: For all human beings, from conception to natural death;
Liberty: Freedom of conscience and actions for the self-governed individual;
Family: One husband and one wife with their children as divinely instituted;
Property: Each individual’s right to own and steward personal property without government burden;
Constitution: and Bill of Rights interpreted according to the actual intent of the Founding Fathers;
States’ Rights: Everything not specifically delegated by the Constitution to the federal government, nor prohibited by the Constitution to the states, is reserved to the states or to the people;
American Sovereignty: American government committed to the protection of the borders, trade, and common defense of Americans, and not entangled in foreign alliances.

It’s all there on that page, you don’t need to click on the various categories.

I just read the whole thing. Took a while, but very interesting. Pulls no punches. I agree or could agree (with further explanation), with everything they said. WOW! I’m impressed.

This could be my vote and my new party.

Sounds pretty dang good, so far. Now I’ll make an effort to learn more. Thanx.

I looked at the CP website around 2004.

They were solidly conservative on domestic issues.

However, their foreign policy stands were out of touch with the real world. They were right out of the late 1800s with their isolationism and being against foreign involvement.

That might work for a 3rd world banana republic, but not for the last major Superpower nation.

IIRC, they nominated a journalist for president in either 2004 or 2008.

Goode just might be the kind of candidate they need to put them on the national map. With the right kind of support and financial backing, he could become a player — depending on who the CP nominates for their VP candidate.
