Constitution Party press release:

Battered Voter Syndrome

For Those Suffering from This Debilitating Disorder, New Poll Suggests Recovery Has Begun.

LANCASTER, PA/ March 12, 2007: A recent poll taken at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C. shows conservatives are fed up with the current political regime and want a new batch of leaders.

The poll (ConservativesBetrayed.com) shows 82% of those asked think the Republican Party no longer represents them. The results of the poll are tantamount to a “no confidence” vote and come in the wake of the Republican Party’s stunning defeat in November.

“Like battered spouses, many voters held on, believing time and again the promises the Republicans made about limiting government, staying true to conservative ideals and getting the country back on track” commented Constitution Party (www.constitutionparty.com) National Chairman Jim Clymer. “For far too long voters endured the disappointment of years of broken promises from those they trusted. Now, it appears voters are quietly packing their bags, filing for divorce from their abusive political party and moving in with a party that has never strayed from its constitutionally-sound platform” Clymer noted.

We Won’t Be Fooled Again

The CPAC respondents also registered their disapproval of the so-called ‘front-runners’ the GOP is offering as presidential candidates in ’08. Close to 90% of those polled said they’d vote for the conservative standard bearer Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo over such hyper-liberal GOP darlings as Rudy Giuliani (24%) and Arizona Senator John McCain (16%). In fact, those asked said they’d vote for a third party candidate if McCain wound up being the Republican nominee. Texas Congressman Ron Paul-who has a 100% constitutionally-sound voting record, but is assiduously ignored by the Republican leadership, polled at a high 62%.

“It appears conservatives have had their hearts broken far too many times to sit quietly by and take another beating,” said Constitution Party Communications Director Mary Starrett. “Even the most trusting party loyalists have come to the embarrassing conclusion that it’s time to seek a dissolution, cut their losses and recoup what’s left of their political pride. That is why the Constitution Party has become the third largest party in the country. Disheartened voters leaving both “Big Box” parties are contacting us daily, flooding the political blogosphere with posts about their new home at the Constitution Party and visiting our website(www.constituionparty.com) in unprecedented numbers,” Starrett added.

Time to Move Out

“My view is that the Republican Party is beyond repair” commented author Tom Kovach. One cannot be for border security and vote Republican. The leading proponents of border security within the Republican Party — US Representatives Tom Tancredo and Ron Paul — are being virtually ignored by their own party”, Kovach lamented. Jim Clymer noted: “Now that voters recovering from Battered Voter Syndrome are discovering there is a way out after all, the Republican policy makers will have to realize they have no one to blame but themselves”.

The Constitution Party is the only party that is pro-life, pro-gun, pro-secure borders and pro-limited government.

I cracked my pimp in the head back in November ;)

[Hatband]

OK, who's got the picture of super-hero Captain Obvious?

[FairOpinion]

Now I know why you are a Rudy basher -- you are one of those third party voters who gave us 8 years of Bill Clinton, put the Dems in power in 2006 and want to give us 8 years of Hillary.

[eeevil conservative]

EXCELLENT ARTICLE!

THANKS!

[eeevil conservative]

btw--

I was born in Lancaster, PA!!

[B4Ranch]

You would prefer a liberal socialist or perhaps a RINO.
Have at it. Rudy will love you for your vote.

If you want to make people angry, lie to them.
If you want to make them absolutely livid, then tell 'em the truth.

[Ancient_Pistoll]

Ron Paul will get my vote in the Republican primary unless Fred Thompson decides to run. If it's Guiliani or McCain as the nominee on the Republican side, then the Constitution Party may very well get my vote.

Like battered spouses

That's been my example for several weeks. At this point the alcoholic abuser is in the anger stage, standing in the doorway with a fifth of whiskey in hand screaming at the wife to come back "or else" and it isn't inspiring much confidence.

you are one of those third party voters who gave us 8 years of Bill Clinton

No!

Bush 1 gave you Bill Clinton, because Bush 1 ran one of the sorriest re-election campaigns in history.

Bush 2 may have you Hillary Clinton, because of his policies and procedures and his thumbing his nose at the base who put him in the White House and kept him their in 04.

Notice the correlations: Bush Clinton Bush Clinton. And recall that GW called Bill his new brother (making Hillary his new sister) and BillyJ and George HW are almost inseparable.

At this point the alcoholic abuser is in the anger stage, standing in the doorway with a fifth of whiskey in hand screaming at the wife to come back "or else" and it isn't inspiring much confidence.

That would be "a 750 ml of whiskey". I haven't seen a fifth in 25 or more years.

"“My view is that the Republican Party is beyond repair”"

Absolutely no argument there!

[omnivore]

Yeah, Bush 41 was completely the reason Perot got in the race in the first place, Bush 41 basically threw in the towel and handed the job to Clinton. (Hope to learn why, someday.) And giving the nomination to Dole was the same as handing the second four years to Clinton on a platter.

There are no Republican candidates that can stand the scrutiny that todays' elections call for - but - then, neither can any Demos either!

I am currently checking on Mitch McConnell's background who is a Conservative - Anti-Affirmative Action - Anti-Gay Marriage - Pro School Vouchers - Pro- gun - Pro-Capital Punishment - Pro-Life - Pro-Missile Defense - Pro-Smaller Government - Pro-Social Security Privatization - Married - Baptist.

But his first marriage and relationship to his daughters has been questioned. His current wife is Elaine Chao - the Secretary of Labor - who is herself very articulate!

Does anyone know anything else about him?

I also know that many have commented on his ability to raise money for the party. But, again, his associations with certain special interest groups have suspect - but then - by whom?

McConnell's stances on issues are right - but - knowing the dirt that has been done during elections - I don't know if he would be the right candidate for '08 elections as a viable candidate because of his background!

[nickcarraway]

The GOP just needs to move to the left. That will win back those 82%.

[jmaroneps37]

My friend where were you in December when I wrote about conservative useful idiots who voted Democrat or stayed home? I had dozens of freepers attacking me saying you didn't exist. I could have used you then, but please don't stop posting. America needs you to keep reminding us of "the lesson we were taught in 1992 and 1996 and 2006". We didn't see the predicted rush back to conservatism in the 90s but with your help maybe we can see it this time.

[WhiteGuy]

"Texas Congressman Ron Paul-who has a 100% constitutionally-sound voting record"

This is the only resaon necessary to earn my vote.

Congratulations! You have arrived at step #1.

Step #2 is to turn off your television, your radio, and cancel your newspapers and any so-called "news"magazines.

Now, you must read, and I do not refer to your local "news"paper.
