True, because Reagan was a Republican, and wouldn't run under the "American Independent Party," i.e. Sore Loser Friends of Allan Keyes, of which EV is Head Sore Loser.

OK, got it. That's the party. Just checked the website. Didn't realize that George Wallace played an integral part in it's early history.

Then I checked out Wallace on Wikipedia. Did not realize that Wallace was not even remotely a segregationist in his early career. In one election he was endorsed by the NAACP and his opponent was endorsed by Klu Klux Klan. Wallace lost. Once he "sold his soul to the devil" and became a vocal segregationist, his political career took off. Interesting.

And from the name, "American Independent Party" - well, it's sure not the "mushy middle" that alot of us think of when we hear "independent."

They're getting you a bit off the mark. Our national party is America's Independent Party, which was founded in 2008.

The American Independent Party, with 417,000 registered voters, is currently our California affiliate.

Just so you know, we endorse candidates based on proven adherence to America's core founding principles, not on party labels. If there are real republicans to be found, we support them.
