A third party is something that no one who is serious about their country's future can even consider. Did we not learn this lesson when Bill Clinton was inaugurated with 43% of the vote in January, 1993? Good grief.
Oh, and don't look for the Constitution Party to do anything but undermine the (most significant in U.S. history) war against terrorists.
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.
Sounds like they both have a lot in common with the GOP.
Where do you get your information? A little documentation is necessary to back up your....facts?.... I think it is time to challenge the Rinos. It's now or never.
First of all that is a lie and you know it is a lie don't you? Second. You can thank the founder of the Constitution Party for much of the grass roots organizing that helped put Ronald Wilson into the Oval Office and later the GOP take over of both houses. His name is Howard Phillips. He is a fine decent man. Ever hear of Chuck Baldwin {sp} you will not find a pro-abortion piece written by that man. Even those in here who disagree with him will tell you so. Third. do you know who John Lofton is? He is a well known and highly respected conservative writer and activist. No then Baldwin was the CP's VP choice last election. The campaign manager was John Lofton. I challenge you to find me any writing by Baldwin or Lofton pro-abortion or even Howard Phillips. Either post it and link it or retract it.
No a third party did not get Clinton elected in 1992 GHW Bush done that all on his own. Bush SR was elected on the Reagan Legacy. Bush SR wasted not a day trying to destroy all Reagan stood for and accomplished that is what cost Poppy Bush reelection.
Most significant? I think WW2 was just a little more damned signifcant that some idiot terrorists.
That's not true. If anything abortion should be a state's rights issue. The Constitution Party might better be known as STRICT Constructionists.
You also obviously haven't been paying attention if you actually believe this RINO falsehood. The party is strongly pro-life. It's a cnetral part of the party's platform. They have articles on the website promoting pro-life positions. Show me one piece of evidence that the party is NOT pro-life. Go ahead.
Another RINO falsehood.
I do not believe that and insist that you support your claim with proof.
Considering that I know Chuck Baldwin, and have met Alan Keyes and Howard Phillips, I am one inch shy of calling you a bald faced liar.
As it is, I'm just asking you to prove your claim.
I'd like to withdraw my previous statement and just call you a liar until you can prove otherwise.
