Former LP Presidential Candidate Endorses Ron Paul For President
Michael Badnarik, the 2004 Libertarian Party candidate for President of the United States, has endorsed Republican Congressman Ron Paul (Texas) for President.
My short term goal for the next two years is to make sure that Ron Paul is elected president in 2008, Badnarik said Friday night at the New Hampshire Liberty Forum, a pro-liberty conference hosted by the Free State Project.
( ) In his Friday night keynote address, Badnarik, who is also a member of the Free State Project and plans to move to New Hampshire by the end of 2008, urged over 200 attendees to support Ron Paul for president by making campaign contributions and activating grassroots support.
You cannot do it yourself, he said. You have to have wide, wide grassroots support.
Badnarik also urged the Libertarian Party to nominate Ron Paul as well. I hope the Libertarian Party is smart enough to say, Oh ho, somebody we can trust! and nominate Ron Paul as our nominee, he said. We should set the Republican, Democrat, Libertarian labels aside, and vote for Ron Paul the person.
Why do Evangelicals ignore Ron Paul? (Chuck Baldwin, 2004 VP Candidate, Constitution Party News)
Evangelical Christians are already beginning the process of selecting the Republican presidential candidate whom they can anoint as their successor to George W. Bush. Somehow, evangelicals have this deluded idea that President Bush is one of them. How they came to this delusion both fascinates and escapes me. Bush is anything but one of them. However, most evangelicals believe he is, and today it seems that illusion is greater than reality, anyway. Bush proves that more than anyone I have ever known. But enough about Bush.
The question burning in the minds of evangelicals today is: Which Republican candidate for president will we anoint?...
Ron Paul has served as a conservative congressman from Texas for over 16 years. He currently has a 100% rating from The Conservative Index, which is probably the most relevant and accurate reflection of a congressmans true conservative record out there.
Furthermore, unlike most Republicans, Pauls commitment to the life issue is more than rhetoric. For example, during the 2005 congressional session, Rep. Paul introduced H.R. 776, entitled the "Sanctity of Life Act of 2005."
Had it passed, H.R. 776 would have recognized the personhood of all unborn babies by declaring, "human life shall be deemed to exist from conception." The bill also recognized the authority of each State to protect the lives of unborn children. In addition, H.R. 776 would have removed abortion from the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, thereby nullifying the Roe v Wade decision, and would have denied funding for abortion providers. In plain language, H.R. 776 would have ended abortion on demand. (It is more than interesting to me that none of the evangelicals pet politicians, including George W. Bush, even bothered to support Pauls pro-life bill.)
In addition, Ron Paul has been the most outspoken defender of constitutional government in the entire congress-bar none. He has often stood virtually alone against federal abuse of power, corruption, and big government.
If Ron Paul secures the 2008 GOP Nomination, it appears that the GOP will have little to worry from third-party "spoilers" on the Right -- they're already lining up behind Ron Paul.
I'm voting for former Vietnam Combat Flight Surgeon, and Leader of Ronald Reagan's Electoral Delegation from Texas: In 2008, I'm Voting for RON PAUL! |
Who is this guy?
ping
The libertarian and constitution parties endorsing the same candidate, despite the divide between the two camps?
In addition, as a freshman Congressman he was the leader of Ronald Reagan's 1976 Electoral Delegation from Texas.
Well why not. The World Workers Party Commies & Socialists have endorced the Dem Candidate the last three or four elections...
In Ron Paul's case, quite probably.
Congressman Paul is the only Congressman leaders in both parties feel they can trust.
Thanks, but I'd like the bad news as well..
However, considering that The ruling government of Iraq is dominated by the psychopathic gang of murderers known as the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) and the Islamic Al Dawa Party, who are the very same Islamic Terrorist Parties which bombed the US & French Embassies in Kuwait, and murdered 241 United States Marines in Beirut in 1983, I believe that Ron Paul is right in calling for a cutoff of US Military and Financial to this terrorist thug-regime.
Other than that, most FReepers have no real objection they can bring against Ron Paul.
Dude, you're weird.
And you're a great American. Thanks for your opinion.
A cut and run Republican.
By "both parties" I assume you mean Libertarian and Constitution parties. But Paul is running for the Republican nomination. Seems to me it would be more productive for Paul and for the country if his supporters join the Republican Party.JMO
That is what 2004 Libertarian Party Presidential Nominee Michael Badnarik has urged his supporters to do: join the Republican Party, and support Ron Paul for President.
With several recent Pro-Ron Paul articles posted on the Constitution Party website by their 2004 Vice Presidential Nominee and others, I believe that the Constitution Party will not be far behind.

"He (Ron Paul) currently has a 100% rating from The Conservative Index, which is probably the most relevant and accurate reflection of a congressmans true conservative record out there." -- from the second Article posted above
Right at this time, I have a hard time envisioning any candidate who can represent my views while at the same time representing any of the Democrat leadership.
