Funny that all the people who were bashing Paul...you know, the “Staged Moon Landing” crowd and the other “deniers of reality” crowd who blasted Paul every chance they got...
Well now you got a John McCain...who believes in big government, socialism, and illegal aliens.
Who is laughing now...
Well I’m glad he chose Baldwin over Barr. Hopefully if nothing else the Constitution Party will at least get some attention now.
That's pretty much the story.
The first order of business for these folks is pulling aid to Israel. Folks can draw their own conclusions about what that means. I know I have.
I’m no longer in the Republican Party, but my advice to conservatives who can also no longer stomach a party in which John McCain, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney are considered leaders is to stay as far away from the Constitution Party as you can get.
The neo-cons, of course. They've mounted the Maverick. Upon further review, make that riding the Maverick and mounting conservatives. No McBama in 2008.
AHHHHHH don’t scare me like that!! I’ll have nightmares for days......That thoughtless pig.....UGHHH
Have to think of him as scoutmaster in SNL

NO problems Canteen Boy...LOL
The proposal by Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., the Banking Committee chairman, would give the government broad power to buy up virtually any kind of bad asset -- including credit card debt or car loans -- from any financial institution in the U.S. or abroad in order to stabilize markets.
The Republicans and Democrats can all rot in Hell
Well, you know who creates money from nothing! BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!! All your apricot pits are belong to us!!!
No surprise here. One anti-Israel “chr*stian reconstructionist” palaeolibertarian endorsing another.
That's pretty much the story.
And to think Baldwin started out with Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority.
I guess the Liberty Lobby got a hold of him.
That would be like me torching your entire neighborhood, then you put me in charge of rebuilding your home and neighborhood, and then I charge you for all the damage, and you say, "Oh, OK I'm good with that".
We are living in a twilight zone, but this program has been produced and brought to you by our own government.
The people you say should, "Intervene".
While that is a truism, I visualize no scenario under which it becomes a reality.
Paul is truly making a fool of himself now, and Chuck Baldwin is a self-important fool, that takes the name of the Lord in vain every time he opens his mouth these days.
I’ll look at it later - I’m cubicle bound right now.
Damn straight. Even San Francisco in 1906 after the quake pulled their own weight and the Mayor threatened to shoot looters. There was no FEMA back then.
Well, I was one of those who supported Paul and still do to some degree. But look buddy, there's two candidates now and there's no way in Hell I'm pulling the lever for an avowed Marxist with possible Muslim ties. And I'm not voting for the Libertarian/Constitution candidate with their head-in-the-sand foreign policy. McCain has reached out to conservatives with his pick of Palin, which means the GOP's future just got brighter, and if he tries that reaching-out crap conservatives will always get fired up. Voting for McCain-Palin is a no-brainer now.
Our aid to Israel has more strings attached than a marionette. Our aid to them has continually hampered their freedom to make their own choices about how they should handle their neighbors in the region. We should instantly pull all our support of Israel and let them (for once) do their own thing. They can’t take half a breath without Washington telling them how far they can breathe it in and when they can breathe it out. U.S. aid is no boon to them; it is a net in which they have entangled themselves.
that’s easy to say but when california was burning, there were quite a few homes in Orange County with gun racks that burned down.
“The first order of business for these folks is pulling aid to Israel. Folks can draw their own conclusions about what that means. I know I have.”
Here is the CP platform for foreign aid. I see a perfectly consistent, traditional non-globalist policy there. If government to government foreign aid is unconstitutional for one country, is it unconstitutional for all.

Chuck Baldwin is theologically a pro-Israel southern Baptist and a dispensationalist. Saying that he is anti-Israel because he doesn’t believe in giving foreign aid to any foreign government is a little like saying that a politician is racist because he doesn’t believe in welfare.
“stay as far away from the Constitution Party as you can get.”
What is Alan Keyes’ position on the constitutionality of a (paper) fiat money system? Or the proposed Wall Street bailout?
Shouldn’t the R nominee join the Democrat party?
As long as ballot access, media coverage, money (incl. our tax dollars), public perception of “winnability” and inclusion in televised prime time debates limit the feasibility of (conservative) third party election victories, it is necessary to work within the system to change the system.
“I may not support either of the presidential candidates, but there are real and substantive differences.”
Maybe at the grassroot level and in the party platforms. But at the leadership level, there does not appear to be much of a difference. When was the last time that you heard a R prez nominee promise to abide by the platform? Or even mention it at all?
