The "war on terrorism" is serving as an excuse for the government to spend beyond its income, expand the Federal bureaucracy, and socialize the nation through taxpayer bailouts of the airlines, subsidies to the giant insurance corporations, and other Federal programs.

-We could agree our war is against islamic radicals and not 'terrorism'.

The rest is true.

Finally, the Constitution Party is not pro-life. They claim that they are so, but down deep, the Constitution Party supports legal abortion as much as Democrats.

Where do you get that from?

Sanctity of Life

The pre-born child, whose life begins at fertilization, is a human being created in God's image. The first duty of the law is to prevent the shedding of innocent blood. It is, therefore, the duty of all civil governments to secure and to safeguard the lives of the pre-born.

To that end, the Constitution of the United States was ordained and established for "ourselves and our posterity." Under no circumstances may the federal government fund or otherwise support any state or local government or any organization or entity, foreign or domestic, which advocates, encourages or participates in the practice of abortion. We also oppose the distribution and use of all abortifacients.

We affirm the God-given legal personhood of all unborn human beings, without exception. As to matters of rape and incest, it is unconscionable to take the life of an innocent child for the crimes of his father.

No government may legalize the taking of the unalienable right to life without justification, including the life of the pre-born; abortion may not be declared lawful by any institution of state or local government - legislative, judicial, or executive. The right to life should not be made dependent upon a vote of a majority of any legislative body.

In addition, Article IV of the Constitution guarantees to each state a republican form of government. Therefore, although a Supreme Court opinion is binding on the parties to the controversy as to the particulars of the case, it is not a political rule for the nation. Roe v. Wade is an illegitimate usurpation of authority, contrary to the law of the nation's Charter and Constitution. It must be resisted by all civil government officials, federal, state, and local, and by all branches of the government - legislative, executive, and judicial.

We affirm both the authority and duty of Congress to limit the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in all cases of abortion in accordance with the U.S. Constitution, Article III, Section 2.

In office, we shall only appoint to the federal judiciary, and to other positions of federal authority, qualified individuals who publicly acknowledge and commit themselves to the legal personhood of the pre-born child. In addition, we will do all that is within our power to encourage federal, state, and local government officials to protect the sanctity of the life of the pre-born through legislation, executive action, and judicial enforcement of the law of the land.

Further, we condemn the misuse of federal laws against pro-life demonstrators, and strongly urge the repeal of the FACE Acts as an unconstitutional expansion of federal power into areas reserved to the states or people by the Tenth Amendment.

In addition, we oppose the funding and legalization of bio-research involving human embryonic or pre-embryonic cells.

Finally, we also oppose all government "legalization" of euthanasia, infanticide and suicide.

I think the presidential election in 2000 was determined by a few hundred votes in Florida. Conservatives have lost some Senate seats in recent years because of right wing splinter parties. (Libertarians) Of course it would be great if the American electorate was conservative enough that we could afford to split our vote but that is not the case.

Pleas not Keyes.

I voted for him against Bush II in his nomination battle, but he demonstrated in Illinois that brillant as he is, he can't communicate with the average voter.

If JulieAnnie, Mitty or McPain get nominated, a third party will have to be the way for conservative Republicans to go. Any of thse will be hardly more palatable to anything the Rats can put up.

"And the day Tancredo jumps ship and runs third party is the day we are assured to have President Hillary Clinton or President Osama Obama."


BINGO.

"CONSTITUTION PARTY IS NOT CONSERVATIVE "


Thanks for pointing that out and bursting the balloon of those who claim to be conservative, while being the opposite.

I'd be extremely concerned, by contrast, if McLame were the 'Pubbie nominee, vs., say, Hitlery.

As duly noted on my bio page, if Hitlery wins, I shall have to emigrate. If McLame is the candidate, I cannot in any conscience vote for him, nor for Mutt.

Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.

It's a helluva thing for anyone believing in the Constitution to find the only possible candidate to vote for is Giuliani. And that's just barely, and with a very bad taste in one's mouth.

Apparently, the LBM and the globalists have successfully managed to eliminate any possibility of any conservative actually running for President in 2008.

I'll take federal bench appointments by a GOP president over a democrat president's appointments every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Nonsense. If you believe that, give up now, because he's likely making a run.

If Tancredo runs for President, it will be as a Republican, not as the Constitution Party nominee. He has said he would consider running in the GOP primary if no other candidate in the race gets serious about immigration reform. At no time has Tancredo ever said he is looking at jumping to the CP.

The ONLY people who have suggested such a thing are the Tancredo bashers who need more "proof" that Tancredo is "Pat Buchanan's puppet" other than the simple fact he works with Bay Buchanan on the immigration issue. ( This "evidence" is getting tiresome as it's been pointed out many times that Ronald Reagan himself would be "Pat Buchanan's puppet" by such standards, since Ronnie personally had Bay overseeing his campaign finances and later appointed her treasuer ).

The ONLY contraversal issue where Pat Buchanan & Tom Tancredo agree are immigration, so the single-issue open border RINOs need to invoke Buchanan's looney 2000 third party presidential campaign and paint Tancredo with the same brush to gloss over the fact 1) Congressman Tancredo holds elective office, unlike Buchanan, 2) did NOT endorse Buchanan for President in 2000, 3) Wholly disagrees with Buchanan on a wide range of issues from trade to confederate memorials, to the war in Iraq.

But then again, if the Tancredo haters would check history, they'd discover Buchanan specifically rejected the chance to run as Constituion Party nominee, and instead hijacked Ross Perot's party out of ego. Therefore, it doesn't even make sence to try and tie the Constitution Party and Jim Gilchrist and a merry band of Buchanan brigagers, since they ran their own rival candidate AGAINST Buchanan in 2000 instead of endorseing his "Third party" bid. Makes as much sense as painting Joe Lieberman as being a Green Party puppet because he also ran on a "Third party"

If Tancredo reprsents "racists, xenophobes, and other assorted far right wing kooks", then the Republican Party platform has stood for "racists, xenophobes, and other assorted far right wing kooks" since about 1880 or so, since the party's position on immigration since that time has always mirrored Tancredo's platform. (You're welcome to read the past party platforms and see for yourself... they're pretty direct about strictly, orderly limited LEGAL immigration, tight borders, and deporting all illegals)

Those who dislike that much are welcome to join their own 'third party", such as the open borders, pro-amnesty Libertarian Party. Ironically, most of the Tancredo haters who accuse him of being party of a "third party' conspircy would have gladly voted for the Libertarian nominee if they lived in Tancredo's district. The now banned BayouRINO certainly wouldn't have voted for Tancredo, giving the hared he spewed on the thread annoucing REPUBLICAN Tom Tancredo had won re-election in the 2004 general election.
