Jay Leno said it best. The comedian with the unusually large chin quiped, "Its amazing that we live in a country that has 50 contestants for Miss America, but only two for president." We are five days away from the Nov. 2 Presidential Election, and the two choices for commander-in-chief we are realistically left with have reached the political equivalent of the 12th round of a boxing match. As of yet, neither President George W. Bush nor challenger John F. Kerry have delievered a knock out blow, leading one to suspect the judges to decide the winner. The judges of...

COLUMBIA, S.C. - The Constitution Party's presidential candidate purchased time on a Columbia television station to run a graphic anti-abortion ad in the days before the election, a station executive said Monday. The 60-second ad, which shows pictures of fetuses, aired once during "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" on WIS-TV, the local NBC affiliate, late Thursday and was set to air one more time late Monday. "We had discussions whether we had to air the ad," said WIS general sales manager Brent Lane. He said the station felt like he had to run the commercial because Michael Peroutka is a...

Dear third-party voter, A tragedy is about to occur. I am not talking about the tragedy, the unthinkable calamity that will befall America should John Kerry be elected president of the United States. That a person with a history of actual treason should become commander in chief of America's armed forces during wartime is more bizarre and terrifying than any "Manchurian Candidate" scenario Hollywood could concoct. No, I'm referring to a different tragedy. The tragedy that idealistic, patriotic, constitutionally minded Christian Americans very possibly will be the ones that actually turn over this nation to Kerry – a man who...

Dear ***** ******: George W. Bush IS going to WIN the state of SC on November 2. That's a FACT. This state is a "solid red" state. That means that every single poll has Bush winning without a doubt, beyond the margin of error for any poll. So what does that mean for true conservatives -- hard working, patriotic Americans -- like you and I? It means we live in a state where our vote will be a WASTED vote... if we vote for George W. Bush. Don't get me wrong. I do NOT want John Kerry to win this...

September 11th forever changed my life and the way we live as Americans. It changed our politics and the issues that matter most. One thing it didn't change was the Constitution Party. Guessing by the their plan for America, it appears that they and their candidate Michael Peroutka missed the horrific attacks on our country. If No One Hears An Argument, Is it Still Wrong? Mr. Peroutka has had free reign to say whatever he wants because he's not expected to garner much support. However, many Conservatives are considering casting votes for Mr. Peroutka as a protest and in a...

Dear Friends, I am writing this article in response to requests from many people all across the country who have asked me about Peroutka and the Constitution Party. They ask, “Should I vote for him?” and “If not, how do I communicate this to others?” First, I must caution you that we must not be unaware of the enemy’s schemes against the body of Christ. One of his primary goals is to cause division and animosity among the brethren. We must remember that we have three enemies, “the world, the flesh, and the devil.” You’ll notice that we are not...

As President, I would work to repeal the Sixteenth Amendment, abolish the IRS, eliminate the income tax and other Godless forms of taxation such as the property tax and the inheritance tax. As President, I would go back to the original design of the Founders, which was to sustain the legitimate role of the Federal government through excises, imposts, duties, and apportionment among the states.in kentucky it's going for Bush, no way around it. so i've been thinking about voting for the constitution party. i really like their platform but how would they pay for everything if they do away...

I wanted to know what all of you thought about early voting in Florida. Do you think it is a good idea? I didn't like the electronic voting though so I used a paper ballot. At least, I know my vote will count now. Even though I supported Bush in the last election, I voted for Michael Peroutka of the Constitution Party, who is a real conservative.

Looks like he's with the American Independent Party. Any comments on this guy? And yes, I understand he isn't in the big two, and wouldn't win. Looking for opinions on the man. Thanks!

I haven't seen any, at least in MD or DE.ff

"Ladies and gentlemen, no one is standing up for American government - and somebody has to," Michael Peroutka, the Constitution Party's presidential candidate for 2004, said Friday. Peroutka spoke at the Taggart Student Center auditorium Friday afternoon to publicize his campaign and promote the Constitution Party's message of God, family and republic as the three fundamentals of American government. The Constitution Party is gaining a lot of popularity in Utah, Ethan Nuttal,l a Utah State University student, majoring in pre-physical therapy said. Nuttall is the president of The Young Constitutionalists Club at USU and chairman of that party for Cache...

For those who think that President George W. Bush is trying to run a campaign of traditional family values, a trip to Wednesday's third party debate might be in order. According to Michael Peroutka, the Constitution Party presidential candidate, the three tenets of his campaign are "God. Family. Republic." Peroutka believes that the focus of government ought to be to instill those rights. "The Constitution Party encourages faithful fathers and mothers to train their children to love God and serve others according to their own conscience and without the interference of unconstitutional federal programs," Peroutka explained. When asked why, in...

"Save the Buttercup" Peroutka, The Constitution Party, and the Win. God bless the United States Navy. Many a sailor will no doubt remember a training scenario oft times referred to as "Save the Buttercup." The purpose behind the "Buttercup" training was to instill an element of realism that might one day be encountered when a crewmember finds himself on a sinking ship, perhaps a thousand miles from the nearest land. The Buttercup is essentially a huge empty water tank that looks like the inside of a ship's sleeping and work areas. The metal bulkheads (walls) have holes in them as...

PASADENA, Md., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Michael A. Peroutka, Constitution Party presidential candidate, issued the following statement in response to last night's televised debate between President George W. Bush and Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.). Peroutka is available for media inquiries and to provide response to the debate. "Last night's so-called 'debate' continues to prove that rather than a stark contrast, there is only a shade or two of difference between the Democrat and Republican nominees for president of these United States. "It is not accurate to call this event a non-partisan debate when, in fact, it is nothing more...

Have you folks heard of the Constitution Party? www.constitutionparty.com Principal can be very hard to discern in politics. I just know that if the constitution party really had a chance to win they would definitely get my vote. This is a party of mostly Christians that uphold the constitution, guided by the Holy Bible, as the ultimate law of the land.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The following statement is from Constitution Party Presidential candidate Michael Anthony Peroutka whose running mate is Dr. Chuck Baldwin of Pensacola, Florida: Is it just me or does anybody else believe that the remarks of the Bush twins at the Republican Convention were foolish, embarrassing, dishonorable to their parents and grandparents, and not funny. Did anybody else cringe and feel sorry for our President and country when Jenna Bush said that Grandma Barbara Bush is "not very hip" because she thinks the TV show "Sex And The City" is "something married people do, but never...

Did you hear about Maryland Gov. Robert Ehrlich urging President Bush not to campaign in Maryland? He said it would be a waste of time, since the state is just about certain to go for Kerry. Now, Republicans always tell conservatives not to vote for candidates like Mike Peroutka because he "can't win," so our votes will be "wasted." Democrats make the same argument to stop liberals from voting for candidates like Nader. But isn't a Republican vote in Maryland or New York or a Democrat vote in Utah, Wyoming, or much of the South similarly "wasted," since it's considered...

A fourth political organization, the Constitution Party, has been certified to run candidates for president plus statewide and legislative offices in Missouri on Nov. 3, the secretary of state's office said. Local election officials are being notified about the party's qualification of its candidates by petitions, Spence Jackson, spokesman for Secretary of State Matt Blunt, said Wednesday. Candidates of the Democratic, Republican and Libertarian parties automatically appear on Missouri's statewide ballot because their past nominees reached a legally required minimum of 2 percent support among voters. Founded in 1992 and formerly known as the U.S. Taxpayers Party, the Constitution Party...
