The Rise of the Constitution Party!

[FrankRep]

The Republican Party has lost my vote completely after this election. We need a third party that can compete in a two party system. I choose The Constitution Party as a possible third party candidate.

What do you think?

Imagine if after this election all the Ron Paul supporters joined the Constitution Party.

Obviously, this issue will be bitterly divided. While I have a lot of respect for the Constitution Party (attended Michael Peroutka's victory party in 2004), I think that the Libertarian Party would be a better match for Paul. Of course, I'm not discouraging you from joining the CP.

The Constitution pary has too much GOD in it for me and the LP, whom I've been a follower of for years, doesn't ever seem to do anything. We need a party with balls and one that understands the constitution and the message of freedom. I nominate naming it the Freedom Party and asking Ron Paul to join as it's premier member as soon as he gets elected president.
Na - never mind. Goddam media won't allow third parties to win.

there's no point with the 3rd parties, they take 0.5% of the vote, it's not worth the hassle

get infiltrating the GOP, that's where the energy and effort should be

Freedom, Peace and Prosperity is worth the hassle.

Freedom, Peace and Prosperity is worth the hassle.

it wont make a difference via a 3rd party

infiltrating the GOP makes a greater difference

Can't do it. Registering as a Republican made bile rise in my throat. I can't WAIT to rip THAT dagger out of my heart and become an Independent again.

While I agree with Dr. Paul that we don't have enough democracy here for a 3rd party, I don't think you need to discount the Constitution Party due to God. It's a naturual fit because the Constitution has so much synergy with the bible, in that a constitutional government allows a Christian to follow his faith to the fullest. The CP is really not much different than Ron Paul's positions.

If there were to be a true 3rd-party movement, the CP is a logical choice. It already has over 350,000 registered voters.

I support the Constitution Party over the Libertarian Party as The Constitution provides a much more clear platform. Unfortunately, Libertarians are perceived as being very divided and sometimes as anarchists. It is not as easy to attack a message or the messengers of the most cherished document of our country. But, either way it is too early in the fight to worry about this in my opinion. It is time to start flexing some muscle with OUR money. If Ron Paul's message is as powerful as we believe it to be then new money will roll in ten fold with the much needed new exposure.

It's back to the CP for me when this is all over. I certainly will support any Repub or Democrat that is correct on principle. I like the LP too, but don't agree with their position on abortion.

Yes, infiltrate the GOP.....and the Dems....and the independents.....

But to throw hands up in defeat when the GOP does the GOP thing.....is like getting upset that water runs downhill. This has all the earmarks (sorry!) of a historic run to the white house via a third party.

I don't care that it has never worked before. I'm with Ron Paul until I vote for him in November.

Wouldn't you vote for him if he runs third party?

I'll vote for him whether he runs 3rd party or not.

Some of the CP platform appeals to me, but a great deal of it doesn't. They're right up there with the Republicans as far as supporting a moralist Christian theocracy.

 

[Bison]

I am a member of the CP. There are some differences between the CP and LP but they agree most of the time. If the two parties were smart they would team up and support each others candidates when they can't vote for their own. Thats what I do personally.

The two big parties love to see all of us third parties spread about. They know that as long as we wont join with each other, we can't remove them from power. The beauty of Ron Paul is that he already has the support of both the LP and the CP. There is no reason, why our two parties should not join together and support Dr. Paul as well as local candidates.

The main problem with third parties is that they don't have media or funds. Well the RP revolution already proved that it can raise the funds and fight for media attention. If this does not go the way that we all hope it does, then we would be idiots not to ban together and take back our country. Together we can start knocking Repubs and Dems out of office. Start local and work our way up.

The last thing we need is to start yet another "third party".

Regardless of what happens in this Primary season, both the Constitution Party and The Libertarian Party should run Ron Paul as their presidential candidate.

We have in front of us the opportunity of a lifetime. We can't let the elites keep it from us.

Do not give up.

Fight.

I am not a Consitutionalist. I am a libertarian. I think the Ron Paul movement has room for both.

 

[Alex Libman]

Libertarian

I think it would be more important to set up a council of people that support the constitution. There are people from many different parties that support the constitution foremost and have different beliefs on basic policies (like Kucinich and Dr. Paul) and so to be able to have such a council that crosses party lines we could eventually rival the CFR.

 

[ixeos]

Honestly I think RP should either go Independent, or form a brand-new (viable) 3rd party. Call it the "Federalist" party (George Washington's party)... and get the support of both LP and CP pplz. Get Pat Buchanan as his running mate.


The req'ments for 3rd party candidates however, completely suck. You have to have 15% of the "pre-poll vote" in order to get in the debates.

I'm just sick right now... and dunno what to do.

 

[Ogren]

The constitution party is a theocratic party. If anything go libertarian or independent.

 

[NorwegianLibertarian]

They are against gambling, drugs and pornography... Libertarian party is 10x better.
