Have you folks heard of the Constitution Party?

This is an excerpt from their website: The Constitution Party gratefully acknowledges the blessing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as Creator, Preserver and Ruler of the Universe and of these United States. We hereby appeal to Him for mercy, aid, comfort, guidance and the protection of His Providence as we work to restore and preserve these United States. This great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been and are afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here. The goal of the Constitution Party is to restore American jurisprudence to its Biblical foundations and to limit the federal government to its Constitutional boundaries. The Constitution of the United States provides that "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." The Constitution Party supports the original intent of this language. Therefore, the Constitution Party calls on all those who love liberty and value their inherent rights to join with us in the pursuit of these goals and in the restoration of these founding principles. The U.S. Constitution established a Republic rooted in Biblical law, administered by representatives who are constitutionally elected by the citizens. In such a Republic all Life, Liberty and Property are protected because law rules. We affirm the principles of inherent individual rights upon which these United States of America were founded: That each individual is endowed by his Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are the rights to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness; That the freedom to own, use, exchange, control, protect, and freely dispose of property is a natural, necessary and inseparable extension of the individual's unalienable rights; That the legitimate function of government is to secure these rights through the preservation of domestic tranquility, the maintenance of a strong national defense, and the promotion of equal justice for all; That history makes clear that left unchecked, it is the nature of government to usurp the liberty of its citizens and eventually become a major violator of the people's rights; and That, therefore, it is essential to bind government with the chains of the Constitution and carefully divide and jealously limit government powers to those assigned by the consent of the governed.

Have you heard of ever winning an election?

If you really want to know if we have heard of them try doing a search on this website. There have been hundreds of threads. All your questions will be answered.

Yes, and they also charge dues. No fundraising, just pick your pocket up front. No doubt for their presidential contender.

I checked their website last year.

Their domestic policies were very conservative.

However, their foreign policies and WoT were isolationist and unrealistic. They seem to be in the 19th Century. We have to fight the WoT because the terrorists brought it to our shores. We can't just sit and wait until they attack in St. Louis or Tulsa or Las Vegas.

In this election year, the WoT and National Security are the top issues. The Constitution Party falls way short in their policies toward that. Similarly, the Libertarian Party policies seem almost identical to the Constitution Party.

Having looked at your posting history and your latest post I conclude that you are either dim or a troll.

Or possibly both.

They won't have a chance to win until people vote for them. People won't vote for them until they have a chance to win. Catch-22.

The odds of your single vote swaying the election are trivial, so you might as well vote for what you believe. Maybe in a few years they will have a chance to win something.

Yes, I have heard of them. In my congressional district they help keep an liberal congressman in office 1 extra term, because they voted for their own unknown candidate instead of an honorable conservative Republican.

Don't bet your soul on losers.

...if the constitution party really had a chance to win they would definitely get my vote.

Fat chance this time around.

The two parties remind me of an old routine on the Amos 'N Andy Show.

Andy tells the Kingfish that he just purchased a stucco house. Kingfish replies "I guess that makes you the stuccee."

Unfortunately, we are indeed stuck while the central government grinds on solidifying their hold on everything. I'll just cite one example of thousands: education. It is my opinion that education was getting along just fine. If an individual state wanted to screw around and tamper with their system and their voters let them get away with it, fine. However, once the federales got involved we are confronted with a fact that we are graduating dummies from high school who know a hell of a lot about sex (straight and homosexual) but don't know beans about English, (unbiased) World or American History or math; they can't even balance a checkbook or make change.

They seize lands within targeted states and run everything from Washington. If a state happens to be conservative, they'll withhold money until they shape up.

The government designs automobiles to keep you safe from harm while they debate whether or not aborting children while they're being born is a good idea. However the spotted owl and the snail darther is a protected species.

Many of us are so sick of our central socialized government and our left-wing wacko judges that we want to puke.

We pray that the right man comes onto the scene, but if he is to be beyond corruption by the socialist powers in DC he can be neither Republican or Democrat. With few exceptions, these guys eat and sleep with each other!

Despite being virtually the only party that stands for constitutional principles, the Constitution Party is extremely unpopular around here. Why? Because it is believed that it will siphon votes away from Dubya--the guy currently presiding over the biggest, most expensive government in three decades.

We are very familiar with Lovers of Losers whatever name they are going under this year. We also have no use for them since a vote against President Bush is a vote against the US.

How'd they vote for him if no one knew he was a candidate?
