I like the Constitution Party and am very supportive of their platform. I am going to vote for McCain because I don’t think we can afford Obama in the White House. He would appoint liberal judges and destroy our chances of overturning Roe vs. Wade. I feel we are very close to having enough to overturn it.

Is that a backhanded complement to Baldwin, a slap at Barr’s fall, or an indictment of the Republican nomination process?

I’m in Illinois so a vote for McCain here is meaningless as he has zero chance of carrying Illinois and its electoral votes. I can vote for McCain or Howdy Doody, and it won’t make a bit of difference as to the outcome in Illinois. So, I’ll be casting a protest vote and will vote for whomever has the best position on getting rid of the illegals.

3rd parties cannot win with either just Presidential candidates or single issue platforms. Instead, the two things they need are “popular” platforms and targeted elections.

“Popular” platforms are easy and in no way hypocritical. The party starts by bullet listing its top 20 agenda items, in no particular order. Then a national poll is taken about what the top 5 or top 10 of that list is popular with the public as well.

Then, as with the Republican Contract With America, you get all of your candidates nationwide to sign onto the short list, as a clear, concise platform that anyone can understand, and all candidates advertise.

This does not mean that you disavow you other platform items, just that you run on the most popular ones. It connect the party with the people. It also brings in votes from people who like a brief, clear message, even if they are not in full agreement with it.

At the same time, the 3rd party needs to pick its battles, those with a higher chance for a pickup in the election. By scavaging a seat here and a seat there, offering an alternative after a scandal by the incumbent candidate, the 3rd party can build its elected base.

This is how a 3rd party becomes a major player in elections, and it is a program that takes decades to pay off, but does pay off, unlike other techniques.

Everyone knows the positions of the two major party candidates on this issue and I vehemently disagree with both. That being said, anyone running to right of McCain is going to have a stronger position on immigration. This needs a “captain obvious” caption. The question is are you going to throw your vote away on someone who has no chance at winning to give an election this important to a socialist/marxist? The choice is yours.

I’m a member of Numbers USA, but think rating or recommending a Presidential candidate on the basis of one issue is fallacious.

I support immigration reform and control, but ignore us on this one.

In related news, they strongly advocate curling up into the fetal position and repeating over and over how they are right and everybody else is wrong.

Baldwin is an anti-American kook who associates with white supremacists and wants to cut and run from Iraq. The CP is filled with like-minded individuals of unsavory beliefs.
