“Reagan’s view of America’s role in the world”
Don’t you mean Woodrow Wilson’s?
“Well I’m glad he chose Baldwin over Barr.”
Any other choice would have made me second guess RP’s foundational views and judgment.
Ask him yourself. FReepmail me and I'll give you the phone number and the time.
And Truman’s, who we might add, were both Democrats.
I agree. Baldwin is the most in line with Paul’s position.
I was looking on an Independent Platform forum though and far too many Libertarians are still pulling for Barr. It should be interesting to see if this gets any coverage at all.
“McCain has reached out to conservatives with his pick of Palin, which means the GOP’s future just got brighter”
The GOP future won’t get brighter until the conservative, Christian and constitutionalist grassroots are re-energized at the local level. The party establishment has not changed.
Honestly, I don’t understand all the excitement about just because Palin has joined the ticket. Even assuming that everything that she has said about herself is true, she is not going to have any influence once in Washington. Do you really think that a truly committed pro-life/pro-family conservative will have any say in an administration filled with liberals, compromisers, establishment Republicans (& Democrats), globalists, anti-gunners and miscellaneous career insider bureaucrats??? If she tries to push the views of the grassroots she will end up as the most marginalized & ridiculed VP in recent history.
“Voting for McCain-Palin is a no-brainer now.”
Maybe for some, but my sense is that in the long run, a McCain administration will be disastrous for conservatives in the Republican party.
Far too many libertarians are stridently anti-Christian atheists and secular humanists. They do not acknowledge that the foundation of our laws comes from God. It isn’t any surprise that they aren’t pulling for Baldwin, who in additional to being a constitutionalist, is a solid social conservative.
Not Tammy!
“Ask him yourself.”
Can you provide a summary?
Do you believe that government to government foreign aid is constitutional?
Yes, it’s constitutional. And when it comes to Israel, we get far more than we give.
By the way, we would have never won our independence sans “government to government foreign aid.”
And we most certainly wouldn’t have won the Cold War, or any war lately, without it in the other direction.
It’s an instrument of war, one that has been used since George Washington wielded it to help thwart the Barbary Pirates. It’s also an instrument of peace, one that makes war less likely.
Which would you rather expend, treasure or the blood of our young men? That’s often the choice, whether you like it or not.
I guess Barr just wasn’t nutty, anti-American, and fringe enough for him.
John McCain is a principled man and a patriot. Ron Paul and Chuck Baldwin are American-hating nuts. I’ll take McCain any day.
I think there is substantive differences between what McCain envisions and what Obama does. Look, I can’t support McCain, but Obama’s connection to Ayles, Dorgan (I believe), Wright and others is problematic in the extreme. This guy is a real time bomb with a capital T.
Is McCain a problem in his own right. You bet your ass. Both these men scare the hell out of me. I see tremendous down side potential to both.
Folks are signing on to more than they know right now with both of these men.
Obama is by far the biggest question mark though. This man is ignorance personified, and he will be led by the nose by some of the worst characters from the 60s & 70s.
Honestly, I fear for this nations very existence with both these men, but Obama is the worst of the two.
Sure! We'll be glad to have him in the Constitution Party.
Thanks, BTW.
Any more Constitutionalists that might want to defect?
Anyone?
Anyone?
(you Republicans); "Nope, nobody here but us Republican sheep.".."Certainly no Constitutionalists."
Oh, thank Goodness!
Now I know who I am supporting in the general election.
Most of my friends have already jumped on the Baldwin bandwagon, but I was considering writing in Ron Paul.
Now it's Chuck Baldwin and the Constitution Party for me!
I’ve noticed that. Anytone who mentions God or has any religious ties, regardless of that affecting their policy decisions, is to be avoided like the plague.
I’ve seen so many comments like, “what happened to separation of church and state?” or “when did Ron Paul abondon the Constitution for Jesus Christ?”. Really stupid stuff like that. As if being Christian and a Constitutionalist are inherently opposed to one another.
So, yeah. Call it the "Theory of Duh".
As a friend said once, the Constitution Party is as much about the Constitution as Bill Clinton is about Abstinence.
not going to be enough to coordinate and evac an entire major city.
the same is true if there’s a major virus outbreak, a terror attack, etc.
