Wasn't aware they were dropping the pro-life line.

The Nevada party ran a pro-abort locally and Peroutka demanded that the national party disaffiliate the soft-on-abortion NV party.

Peroutka was overruled and his MD party wound up breaking off from the national CP while the NV party stayed with the CP.

Technically, the antional party claims to be pro-life, but the NV situation shows how flexible they are in practice.

Like most third parties and fringe groups, the CP are more about separating suckers from their disposable income than internal discipline.

I believe that Peroutka (and his running mate in 2004 Chuck Baldwin) endorsed Ron Paul

How's that internal discipline thing working in the GOP over the last few years?
