Constitution Party question

A Bible/Constitution based party with a Pastor running as its candidate will not appeal to anyone but the libertarian and conservative Christians. Other than that, I do like what he stands for.

I don't think younger ‘revolutionaries’ won’t vote for the CP for all the reasons on this thread. Just too religious.

Like BigT said, the CP probably like the platform they have. Problem is – they are using the wrong name! The Constitution doesn’t mention drugs or abortion. Wish they had picked another name.

I would happily vote CP but I am kinda conservative, not a Christian but pro life and don't mind Christianity and don't disagree with most of what is in the Bible. But that’s me.

So this is why I have a lot of sympathy with Barr supporters. He is NOT the better candidate, just his platform is more likely to succeed and it is truer to the Revolution in terms of it being *libertarian* and not *conservative constitutionalist*. The problem with Barr is he is not enough of a constitutionalist (and Wayne Root is a neocon).

I think if this movement is going to have any real traction, it must avoid religious talk totally.

All those stories about Dr. Paul appearing at college campuses and kids saying 'the only thing I disagree with you on is abortion'. That’s the reason the CP won’t get that much bigger imo. And it's not consistent - if you have religion in your platform, you therefore have a really good *reason* to be statist/coercive.

The reason Dr. Paul gets away with being pro-life is because his whole philosophy is consistent. And his pretty radical position on the war on drugs and gay marriage. And he never mentions religion or very rarely. They let the prolife thing slide - he gets one free one.

I think most young person will be lost if you are socially conservative on other things.
And if we don't have these young people we don't have a Revolution imo.

the fact that they have that plank in their platform for a reason?
And that they don't expect, nor want, people in the party who can't abide by that platform?

I wonder how the anti-religion people here would feel if Ron Paul was the CP nominee?

As with the Constitution Party, the American Patriot Party opposes government recognition of same-sex unions, and believes state and local governments have the right to criminalize "offensive public sexual behavior"; Homosexuality is termed as a unnatural and mentally destructive habit that violates the natural rights of another; as it's participants have the physical ability of natural relations as nature had intended, but choose or have been indoctrinated not to;

The party maintains that citizens, local communities, county and state governments have the responsibility in preserving standards of decency in America. This is a local community, county and state power to regulate the crimes of slavery, voluntary slavery, sodomy and prostitution.

This is my main departure from the Theocrats. They have endorsed states rights only for the sake of criminalizing "offensive sexual behavior". I am for states rights but that's were I get off. The state has no business legislating morals or criminalizing sexual behavior. This notion that you can decide for someone else for their own good what is best for them is a tool of collectivism.

By collecting signatures for Baldwin if he is not on your states ballot yet. By hounding the media to cover Baldwin's race. By forcing media to let him in their debates. By attending Christian sponsored events and promoting the party.

After becoming more familiar with states rights doctrine. I am in favor of state parties as well. I'm researching different parties constitutional understandings of the positions they hold on various issues. Trying to create essentially a Ron Paul platform for a state party. I've dubbed it the "Bull Whip Party" project. The hope is to educate the public threw endorsements of liberty candidates. And field candidates where no other alternative is available. It will be used to "whip" elected officials when they fail to uphold and defend the constitution. The idea is to maintain control of the liberty minded voter block on a local level and grow it threw activism. Candidates seeking office should want a BWP endorsement because if you don't have it you are probably a target for removal in the political landscape.

The constitution party is only for Christian believers, you are going to have a hard time getting a broader base of people with that platform. Good luck! Maybe you can get Rev Hagge to promote the Christian constitution party.
