WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The following statement is from Constitution Party Presidential candidate Michael Anthony Peroutka whose running mate is Dr. Chuck Baldwin of Pensacola, Florida:
Is it just me or does anybody else believe that the remarks of the Bush twins at the Republican Convention were foolish, embarrassing, dishonorable to their parents and grandparents, and not funny. Did anybody else cringe and feel sorry for our President and country when Jenna Bush said that Grandma Barbara Bush is "not very hip" because she thinks the TV show "Sex And The City" is "something married people do, but never talk about?"
Jenna Bush's assertion that "Outkast" is a band and "not a bunch of misfits" is --- well, just Google this motley, foul-mouthed, toilet-tongued crew. Check out their photos and lyrics. And I think you'll agree that the word "misfit" doesn't even begin to accurately describe these raunchy rappers.
As for Jenna Bush saying that her Mom and Dad, if begged, would "shake it like a Polaroid picture" (an "Outkast" lyric), the folks at Polaroid say their pictures should not be shaken. A Polaroid spokesman says: "Almost everybody does it, thinking that shaking accelerates the development process, but if you shake it too vigorously you could distort the image. A casual shake typically doesn't affect it."
Barbara Bush said she and Jenna, while not very political, love their Dad "too much to stand back and watch from the sidelines." So, they are campaigning for him. But if they love their Dad, and I'm sure they do, and want to help him, perhaps they should not only stand back and watch from the sidelines but also be quiet while they are standing and watching.
Finally, "Outkast" was not at the GOP Convention. But there were those who were cast out and not allowed to speak there in primetime --- any identifiable outspoken conservative who is: Pro-life; anti-illegal immigration; pro-Second Amendment; anti-Big Government; against Federally-funded education; and anti the war in Iraq.
You mean like my son's fraternity brothers? My daughter said she was at a fraternity party last night and the guys were talking about the girls and how great they were. One guy told her he was voting for Pres Bush before this but now his roommates were as well!
Is this for real???
I'm 26. I found some of the twins' comments funny, and some stupid. This press release is embarrassing. The twins are 22. Peroutka is 52. What's his excuse?
Showcase them non-stop for the next two months. It's sort of our version of Bill Clinton playing the saxophone on MTV, only not nearly as annoying.
Isn't that word spelled with a "-ck" at the end?
Hey, Peroutka. Regarding your criticism. I got your "criticism right here" buddie.
--as the new yorkers would say.
LOL! This coming from the star of the Constipation Party is Hillarious. Actually, if you remove "Remarks of Bush Twins to GOP Convention" you get to the real truth:
Peroutka: Foolish, Embarrassing, Dishonorable, Not Funny...your Constipation Party Candidate.
There is a lot to like about the Constitution Party, in theory. And, I actually agree with his assessment of the twins "substance"... But, it is not his place to reprimand their behaviour. While I disagree with the infantile responses many have posted here, I am glad to know more about the person for whom I have entertained voting. Seems like Mr. Peroutka was simply fishing for exposure, how sad for the party.
you know some viagara would do this prissy uptight old man some good. He is creepy.
LOL! Kerrry is campaigning against the Vice President and Peroutka is campaigning against the Bush daughters.
I have a feeling many in the age range will as a result.
To Our President and First lady's credit, they have raised two young women youth will identify with. Imagine the difficulty in doing so given the family they come from and office G.W. holds.
This is pathetic. Seeking to gain notice he trashes Barbara and Jenna.
Peroutka, word of warning, Barbara Bush, our former First Lady, is going to kick your butt if you keep this up. better that you disappear quietly before she humiliates you. When she gets through, you'll have to deal next with the rest of the Bush family straight up the chain to their father. You really want him to level a smackdown?
all the right winger christian extremists are indignant at anything or anyone who reminds them of SEX, Youth, beauty, arrousal or uses any words that broach those subject matters.
they are a loser party and we are happy for them to have left our party over the past five years. good ridance to them and their loser candidates.

Sorry. I wouldn't post right.
At one time, so was I. But the more I visited their website, the more I doubted that they themselves had a clear grasp of what the Constitution really means. In the hands of a humorless priss (and Hanoi Candidate Kerry is the other priss I have in mind), the Constitution would become a mere piece of paper [to be shredded at whim and turned into spitballs, no doubt!], and no mere piece of paper can successfully defend our rights!
It was, originally, before I decided I'd like the comment to stay.
He's a Baldwin, what do you expect?
I think I'm coming to the conclusion that the only place even close to a home for a person who loves freedom is the GOP, despite the positions it holds with which I do not agree.
If you want a very clear cut demonstration of that, look at Peroutka's claim that as president he would end abortion in America on his first day in office. Ask any of his followers HOW Peroutka, given the Constitutional limits on the President's powers, would accomplish this.
Then sit back and watch the tortured plans that they outline.
Constitution Party? Nope, more like the Constipation Party...they're full of it.
They might if they knew who the heck he was.
Actually, Andre 3000 was at the Republican convention. I can't stand it when conservatives get so uptight it makes us all look bad.
