Does Anyone Know Anything About The Constitution Party?

our supporters are running for office as Republicans and becoming delegates why would we want to abandon them. This campaign's not over we are making inroads in taking the party back. Our focus should be making the march that best and most exciting it can be.

The intent of the framers of the Constitution was outlined in the Federalist Papers. It was adamantly stated that political parties invite faction and contention and therefore had no place or purpose in the body politic.

With this in mind go ahead and read the thread below for an excellent disertation from my fellow enlighted Ron Paul supporters.

There is much to recommend the Constitution Party to a rational Constitutionalist, but I lean more toward the Libertarian Party, and in fact have been a member since 1976. I find the general tone of the Libertarian Party more closely aligned with the secular character of our actual Constitution. Nevertheless, I recognize my Constitution Party brethren to be good-hearted fellow travellers. There is more to bind us than to separate us. If I had my druthers I'd ditch both names and ravel the joint membership with a few million more disaffected Demoblicans and independents into a new Federalist Party. At present, though, I find the LP best, the CP a close second, and anything else a distant third.

Of course, for the nonce, this all remains moot, as our primary mission is to get Dr Paul the Republican nomination.

As a member of the Constitution Party who will be voting for Congressman Paul in the Primaries, I can tell you that the Constitution Party has the best platform than any other political party to date, in my opinion. You can view their platform here.

The differences between the Constitution Party and the Libertarian Party are several. I would simply encourage you to view and compare the Libertarian Party's platform here with the Constitution Party's own platform. The major differences lie in social/moral issues, for the most part. I would say the Constitution Party has a more Biblical outlook on political affairs, whereas the Libertarian Party has more of a humanistic perspective.

That is true about running in another party, but a very bright individual that I know that has spent a lot of time researching this issue believes that a person who ran in a party could still run in no party to circumvent the rules.

unconstitutional.

My understanding is that I don't believe Dr. Paul can run for president this year with any other Party. Some states note that if you've run under one party, you cannot switch and participate in Presidential election in their states - or something like that...

Constitution Party: Conservative attorney Michael Peroutka was the CP's 2004 Presidential nominee (ballot status in 36 states - 144,000 votes - 5th place - 0.1%). Immigration reform activist Jim Gilchrist -- a close ally of Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) and founder of the controversial "Minuteman Project" civilian border patrols -- is a favorite for the party's 2008 nomination (unless, of course, Tancredo or Alan Keyes express an interest in it). The Constitution Party appear to have generally cemented their place as the third largest third party in the nation. http://www.constitution-p...

Libertarian Party: Computer consultant and tax-resister Michael Badnarik was the LP Presidential nominee in 2004 (397,000 votes - 4th place - 0.3%). http://www.lp.org/

Have been very interested in this party. As Dr. Paul has noted, because of the power and money of our two party system, and the laws they've created, it is very hard to get a third party going.

We, who believe in restoring the Constitution would do well to look here for future support.

Assuming Ron Paul, does not start mopping up the primarires, if he can arrive at the GOP convention with enough delegates to determine who will win, this could be a much more powerful play than a third party run.

To go up against the Democrats the Republicans are going to need something dramatic like an overhaul of Foreign Policy, ie How do 700 military bases splattered all over the world make America safer?

If RP has achieved a strong delegate count he could have significant influence on the final set of positions. Every Primary counts.

In addition a third party run by RP might be more of a distraction away from RPR congressional races.

Change to the CP after the primaries in your state like I am going to do... I Suggest that all of us do it on the same day. The day after Super Tuesday. I plan on scanning my new registration card and sending it to the Texas Republican Party.

...and both the Presidential and VP candidates from 2004 (Michael Peroutka and Chuck Baldwin) have endorsed Ron Paul!

the constitution party, also known as US taxpayer's party, is the largest 3rd party (based on voter registration).
i joined the constitution party for the last election. their candidate, michael peroutka (chuck baldwin was his VP), got about 0.1% of the vote. very disappointing, but i was voting for whom i thought was the best candidate. CP's views are very similar to Ron Paul's... protect the constitution, limit government to it's constitutional duties, lower taxes, etc.
visit their website www.constitutionparty.com
they have given much praise to ron paul.
they haven't announced their candidate yet.

My wife and I are both Constitution party members. I do not think this is the right time to be discussing this because our focus needs to be on getting RP the Republican nomination. However I would hate to hear the CP and the LP splitting any third party run. The only chance of success for a third party run would be for both of these organization uniting for the common cause. I don't feel like there are that many huge differences in ideology between the two. But that is something we can worry about when we get to that bridge. For now remember RP is running for the Republican nomination. DON'T GET DISTRACTED!!!!!

I saw the 2004 candidate speak in a 3rd party debate. Libertarian with a bible backed focus. Much, much smaller than the Libertarian Party.

I think I would fall somewhere between Constitution and Libertarian.

are the third largest party, and they share almost all of RP's principles.
