The Rise of the Constitution Party!

[ChelC]

I was registered CP prior to this, and republican prior to that. I will continue to support third parties in their efforts, but will never be party loyal again. I will only vote on principle and principle alone win or lose. Nothing like pride and party politics to cloud your vision and fit you with blinders.

 

[mconder]

You only need a couple thousand to build a new party. We should be able to get 40-50K members fairly quickly.

 

[Indy Vidual]

Taken straight from their main page...

"Join the Constitution Party in its work to restore our government to its Constitutional limits and our law to its Biblical foundations"

Sounds pretty Bible Thumpy to me.

CP = God NO!
A theocracy with stone age ideas about social freedom does not create liberty.

 

[Scott Wilson]

After Ron Paul the freedom movement will once again be divided. Mark my words.

 

[Peppy690]

I say if Ron gets the presidency he denounces the Republican Party and forms the Freedom Party, and asks members of congress to do the same. I bet if a president forms a party it will be huge news and get a huge following.

Isn't Arnold a (R) ? I say we get him to endorse paul, since he is hating on the federal gov't right now

 

[DaneKirk]

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

Yup.

do some research on arnold. hes not a ron paul republican at all. hes more like a nancy pelosi socialist, not even a chance we would align ourselves with him

 

[FrankRep]

Can we get the Constitution Party and the Libertarian Party to combine and create the Freedom Party ?

Arnold is a terminator of Liberty not a promoter.

"My relationship to power and authority is that I'm all for it." -- Arnold Schwarzenegger at 44 to US News and World Report in 1990.

"People need somebody to watch over them... Ninety-five percent of the people in the world need to be told what to do and how to behave." -- Arnold Schwarzenegger at 44 to US News and World Report in 1990.

 

[AggieforPaul]

I'd be afraid a LP run wouldnt work because the media would say "lolz he tried this in 1988 and got .5 percent of the vote"

 

[DrNoZone]

Neither the CP nor the LP are going to be the vehicle that brings about real freedoms in the U.S. What we need is a new third party that has the potential of being even bigger than either of the current major parties given enough time and due diligence. See my sig line for more info.

 

[free.alive]

Another discussion that's a waste of time.

Ron Paul is running as a Republican. Go knock some doors and he has a shot at winning - no joke. Look how far we've come in just a couple months of actual action.

I'm talking about after the Ron Paul run.

In the future we need to have a competing third party.

 

[Johncjackson]

The LP has WAY better ballot access and other plusses than the CP- for those that could go for either. And not all LPers are pro-choice and open borders. So dont let 1 or 2 issues like that get you.

Still completely Independent might be best as all existing minor parties have strong negatives associated with their labels.

[FrankRep]

What do you think about the Freedom Party idea?


Combining the Constitution / Libertarian / Disgruntled Republicans / Enlightened Democrats together.


Some compromise will need to be made, but that's life.

+1

For those who want to cop-out and say "the GOP stinks too much to be associated it," remember this: you've got to get close enough to smell dragon before you can slay it. The neocons lair is the GOP. Storm the gates!

 

[han_solo]

Ron Paul stands for what the Republican party USED to stand for...and what I belive it still can stand for someday.

Its just that we need to take the party back from the neocons.


What is really odd is that its the democrats that caused the republican party to be like it is....they got soooo soft on national defense and so far into socilism that all it took was someone to give an alternative that was a little pro-defense during the cold war to bring over all the non-socialist democrats to the republican party.

Now the republican party looks very much like what the Democrat party looked like 40 years ago.. JFK would have fit RIGHT IN with these candidates like Romney. He sure would not have fit in with the current "Peoples Socialist Party of Special Interest and Giving Away Stuff to Stay in Power" Democrats.


Some day I might be happy to vote republican again, but neo-con pro-war pro-massive-government socialist-lite candidates like Bush, Romney, Huck, and McCain are NOT gonna due it.

 

[Mark Rushmore]

It looks increasingly like the Democrats will take the election (eg. voter enthusiasm as measured by turnout so far), which will likely cause the neo-cons to drop the charade and unmask again as the leftists that they are while latching on to the Democratic party. That should release their stranglehold on the ideas that comprise the Republican persona and allow a hyperactive minority of party members to steer the Republican discourse into a more historical conservative channel.

If the Republicans win with anyone other than Ron, of course, then there is no hope for the party.

 

[ronpaulfollower999]

I'm for combining the Constitution Party with the Libertarian Party to create the Freedom Party or something like that.
