Thanks 2ndDivisionVet for the link. Rush sez, A Third Party Isn't the Way, May 29, 2008 (Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time), but he's talking about conservatives.

Praise God! This is what I’ve been waiting for; Clinton supporters to call for Hillary to run as an Independent.

YES!!!!!

Of the presently established Third Parties, you would probably feel most comfortable with the Constitution Party. Just guessing.

I don’t know; in a three-way race between her, McCain of B. Hussein Osama-Obama, she just might get a plurality. A plurality put her hubby in the White House two times.

Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton – you have the intelligence, you have the experience, you have the political knowledge, you have the influence, you have the organization and you have the will of the people.

AND YOU HAVE LOST!

That's not a bad guess. I've read over their platform docs and recommended that others do so also.

I'm very comfortable with their position re: a return to the original intent of the Constitution, Federalism, etc., and if that were their primary focus, I'd support them in an instant. Unfortunately, they have a stronger an interest in seeing the Constitution re-written to match the Bible, specifically the New Testament -- the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Having been raised a Christian (Episcopalian), those teachings and tradition are near and dear to me, and I don't minimize the influence they had on the Founders. But the Founders also clearly steered clear of putting any religion in the plan for the government, and I believe they were wise to do so.

Thus, I found official platform statements like this troubling from a legal/legislative point of view:

This great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ...

The goal of the Constitution Party is to restore American jurisprudence to its Biblical foundations...

IMO, those statements ought to be troubling to anyone who knows his or her American history, even the stauchest of Christians. I recognize that many folks are yearning for a merging of Christianity and the US government, and they are welcome to their opinions and beliefs, of course. Perhaps the name of that party should be the "Christian Constitution Party". Anyway, I just don't think that sort of explicit merging is a platform I can support.

If there's a party that has just the "Constitution" part, I'm going to get all excited. If the Libertarians weren't all such damn flakes that might be of some interest.
