Constitution-Libertarian Coalition

[Liberty74]

What difference does it make. This is a 2 party duopoly, any other parties have no chance. We need to end the two party system then we can talk about party mergers.

We live with a one party criminal system set up by design to conquer and divide Americans thinking there are two paths yet really only one. So technically, there isn't even a second party.

I think I spent closer to 15. Then I spent several years as an apathetic (while very informed) independent. Then Ron Paul happened and shook me loose again. If anyboyd wants a credible third party, you will see one form after the liberty movement swells in the GOP. The neocons will form a well-funded third party in no time. And this third party will have no problem with ballot access.

This^^ And that is why relying solely on elections is lose-lose in the long term.

We need to set up a system where these two parties bow out if a liberty candidate runs as a Republican.

You mean if a liberty candidate actually gets the nomination, I assume.

If a liberty candidate runs, and the GOP chooses a McCain or Romney, we need a party like the Libertarian Party to give people an alternative.

I don't think you'll ever see the Bible, er, Constitution Party and the Libertarian Party work together like that.

Libertarians want liberty, not a theocracy. It seems that the CP just wants a small government theocracy.

The Constitution Party doesn't want Theocracy either, they support the --- Constitution.


Only moral countries are able to live under a Constitution vs. a Government dictatorship, however.


This is true:

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

They do not want theocracy. They obviously not support the separation of church and state, but most countries in the world do not have the separation of church and state. Only 2, Iran and the Vatican, are theocracies.

"separation of church and state" is not in the Constitution.

It only says "Congress shall make no law ..." That's something different.

Bump, just curious how people here react to this idea now.

Well, I certainly agree with this:

@Liberty74: We live with a one party criminal system set up by design to conquer and divide Americans thinking there are two paths yet really only one. So technically, there isn't even a second party.

And this:

@FrankRep: "separation of church and state" is not in the Constitution.

Great question.

I wish the CP well, and applaud any third party candidate or independent for attempting to buck the two-party system. It's tilting at windmills and the work rarely bears fruit, but it's important work.

That said, the CP are too biblical for me, and although some of their platforms overlap, I can't see a coalition working too well. Not that the CP is entirely at fault: the LP is like a group of cats: difficult to herd, difficult to stay on message. Just last month, a portion of the LP wanted to nominate for president a man wanted in Belize, suspected of murder. It's that sort of thing that the media portrays as whack-a-doodle, and which makes the LP look bad. (Luckily, the LP came to its senses and selected what the media is calling the strongest ticket the LP has ever fielded.)

The LP was strained almost to the breaking point during the convention; I can't imagine trying to collaborate with another, albeit smaller, party would go down too well. Besides, Third Parties have a long history of breaking off from each other, splintering into smaller and smaller factions, rather than coming together.

The parties should get together and run a Ron Paul - Rand Paul - Amash - Massie - TMOT type guy for every local and national election. Only way we will ever get Liberty. Either that, or continue you to run as republicans

I agree with this.
