ModernConservative.com has received a tip from a reliable source that may have election-shattering implications.
According to our source, an activist here in Arizona has been approached by the Ron Paul campaign; the campaign has requested that he run the Arizona effort to get Ron Paul on the general election ballot as a candidate of the Constitution Party.
Our source has requested anonymity, and we have agreed. We can, however, vouch for his/her general reliability. Our source also provided us with details that added credibility to the account. (Unfortunately, disclosure of those details would put at risk our promise of anonymity. We apologize for the unnamed sourcing and lack of further details, but those were the requirements that accompanied this revelation.)
We will keep you apprised of any new developments.
There has been a lot of analysis on the impact that Ron Paul has already had, and on the impact that he might...

As Jesse Jackson might say ‘if you’re dissed, you’re pissed’.
I don't hate Ron Paul. I just think voting for a guy who hangs with, helps and encourages Truthers has as much to do with conservatism and libertarianism as socialized medicine does.
DING DING DING!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!
I thought someone once said the rank-and-file of the CP was much more pro-Israel than its leadership? Shoot, even Bob Dornan (as true a friend as Israel has ever had) once ran as one of its candidates. But looks like the Nesta Webster brigade has taken it back.
Very well put.
I don't think the LP appeals to nutballs the way the CP, but clearly their support for a Paul candidacy (he can run on both tickets), brings that into question.
PreambleThe Constitution Party gratefully acknowledges the blessing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as Creator, Preserver and Ruler of the Universe and of these United States. We hereby appeal to Him for mercy, aid, comfort, guidance and the protection of His Providence as we work to restore and preserve these United States.
This great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been and are afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.
The goal of the Constitution Party is to restore American jurisprudence to its Biblical foundations and to limit the federal government to its Constitutional boundaries.
The Constitution of the United States provides that "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." The Constitution Party supports the original intent of this language. Therefore, the Constitution Party calls on all those who love liberty and value their inherent rights to join with us in the pursuit of these goals and in the restoration of these founding principles.
The U.S. Constitution established a Republic rooted in Biblical law, administered by representatives who are constitutionally elected by the citizens. In such a Republic all Life, Liberty and Property are protected because law rules.
We affirm the principles of inherent individual rights upon which these United States of America were founded:
That each individual is endowed by his Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are the rights to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness; That the freedom to own, use, exchange, control, protect, and freely dispose of property is a natural, necessary and inseparable extension of the individual's unalienable rights;
That the legitimate function of government is to secure these rights through the preservation of domestic tranquility, the maintenance of a strong national defense, and the promotion of equal justice for all;
That history makes clear that left unchecked, it is the nature of government to usurp the liberty of its citizens and eventually become a major violator of the people's rights; and
That, therefore, it is essential to bind government with the chains of the Constitution and carefully divide and jealously limit government powers to those assigned by the consent of the governed.
The Constitution Party is firmly pro-life and pro-family.
What is Ron Paul’s position on abortion and gay pseudo-marriage?
Sigh...Your right. The only thing left that they have going for them, is their name, and they’re busy insulting it.
Oh puhleeze. If it was revealed that Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain or Duncan Hunter had appeared on the Alex Jones show three times, they'd lose half their supporters minimum. They'd lose the other half when it came out that Stormfront was raising money for them and that Dennis Kucinich had suggested them for a running mate.
Yet the Paulestinians hear this stuff and say it's all part of the big tent and call discussion of it "Paul-hating."
Sorry, not even close.
I support his efforts (usually), but I won’t be voting for him.
Not much, it's their other big issue along with the war, it seemed fair to link that thread too.
I hear ya. Hate is a nasty thing, and we should all try not to hate the people we disagree with. There are a small number of posters, though, who really do have a pathological hatred for Paul, and have even wished him dead here on FR. That's f#%&ed up.
Pray tell, which of MY individual liberties have I lost? < /rhetoric >

To Ron Paul supporters: Now how about giving me YOUR perspective on these questions (as opposed to what other Freepers have said): Will Ron Paul win? Will Ron Paul draw his support (votes, not financial) from libertarians and conservatives or liberals?
Good Lord...you don't think Ginsburg is worse than Harriet Miers? By miles?
Hillary is a person who thought Janet Reno was qualified to be AGOTUS. The idea that there's no real difference between what she'd do and what a GOP President would do on these appointments is just plain silly.
Which is why they changed it from US Taxpayers Party to Constitution Party before the 2000 elections.
The Constitution Party went South when it decided to be anti-war.
“I guess Ron Paul would do nothing while Pakistan’s nukes get transferred to Al Qaeda.”
The good news is that nuclear weapons are maintenance intensive.
In large part, only the conservatives are willing to splinter and divide up the vote if they dont agree 100% with the nominee. (Look at post #126 as an example)
Democrats will vote for the nominee, and support that nominee no what what. It doesnt matter what that nominee is. It could be an inanimate carbon rod that wins the nomination, and the MSM and Democrats will stand behind it 100%.
