2006: the year of the Constitution Party?

Border security has caused some people to look at the Libertarian Party, only to discover that they favor open borders.

And, if one were to delve deeper, one would find there are other Libertarian principals that conservatives find unacceptable.

"2006: the year of the Constitution Party?"
No, but this talk plus stupid talk from the liberal-tarians about a third party might make things just right for a rat take over.

[George W. Bush]

Interesting. I don't find CP candidates appealing in my state this year but if you have some hopeless Chafee-type RINO up against a Dim on the ticket, it's not a completely unreasonable choice.

When you hate both of the Dim-GOP candidates to the bottom of your gut, tellig people to vote the lesser of two evils is, well, evil.

[LibLieSlayer]

If people really support these LIBertarian parties... it will be...

"2006: The year satan regains control of both houses of Congress, and leads to one of satan's whores (hildebeast) taking the Presidency in 2008"!

Maybe.
Maybe.
I'll think about it. But my real inclination is just to stay home, and I've already sent Dr. James Dobson an e-mail, urging him to call a voter boycott of 2006 for social conservatives.

I sincerely hope he does. 2006 is going to set the tone for 2008.

If it is the Year of the Constitution Party then the Celebrations will all be renamed:

The Year of the Liberals!

[MamaTexan]

No, but this talk plus stupid talk from the liberal-tarians about a third party might make things just right for a rat take over.

And if it walks like a rat and talks like a rat, it's STILL a rat....

even if there's an 'R' after its name.

[9999lakes]

2006 is NOT 2008.
No president will be elected in 2006, and the best spur to conservatives for '08, might be to kick some of the RINO deadwood out of the way in '06.

You're exactly right. Besides, the idea that the Republican Party under George W. Bush doesn't have a strong position on abortion and that the Constitution Party would do better is laughable.

The Constitution Party is, among other things, virtually pacifist regarding the War on Terror. In objective terms regarding their effect, not their intentions, that makes them, as George Orwell said about the pacifists of his day regarding the Axis, objectively pro-Islamofascist.

Two words:

Runoff elections

I need to know that I'm not electing demokkkrats when I vote for a third party candidate. Until then, it will never happen. We need runoff elections, i.e. a guarantee that nobody will ever hold a public office with less than 50% of the vote, and that nobody will ever need fear to vote his first choice, at least on a first ballot.

[Gaffer]

If 2006 goes VERY badly, there might as well not BE a 2008. Do you realize what the 'ruling' party from both houses could do to election laws, funding, etc. in just two short years. It wouldn't even matter that GW is president. There are many actions that could be taken over which he has NO control......

[RobFromGa]

You would think that the social conservatives would care about what Judges that our President might appoint to the Courts *maybe even the SCOTUS* during his final 2 YEARS of his term. And what a Rat controlled Congress might do to the type of people that he will be able to nominate. Throw your little hissy fit now, and hopefully you'll all come to your senses before the midterms. "Cutting off your nose to spite your face" comes to mind when I read these immature rants. We have RINOs from some states because the people in these states are NOT conservative and they WILL NOT elect a conservative. Deal with it.

We need to target the Blue and Purple states and run good candidates against all RINOs and Democrats.

>If people really support these LIBertarian parties... it will be...


The Constitution Party is not like the Libertarian Party. The CP is very conservative on social issues. They oppose illegal immigration.

If some vote for candidates outside the Rep. Party, it's because Congress and the President moved left. I will vote CP if the republicans don't move right soon.

[Old Sarge]

Is it patriotic to continue a war that was started without a Constitutionally-required declaration of war?

I'm so very certain that Al-Qaeda had Robert's Rules of Order in mind when they did

THIS!!!

The CP are pacifists. Screw them. There are no political parties which support me or my fellow soldiers in the field. I'm staying home.

"The lesser of two evils is still evil"- Alan Keyes.

Here in Illinois we have a choice for Governor of the current dim Governor Blagojevich or Judy Topinka, the biggest rino to come down the pike.

Disgusting choices.

[rockabyebaby]

2006: the year of the Constitution Party?

2006: the year of the Constitution Party collapse and destruction of the greatest country on earth. We can thank the 62 morons in the Senate.......

[mewzilla]

Libertarian=Libertine

[Graybeard58]

We have RINOs from some states because the people in these states are NOT conservative and they WILL NOT elect a conservative.

It's true in my state (Illinois) I vote for and support conservative candidates but I am clearly in the minority. I believe that is the case in all states that have large cities that dominate the political scene of the entire state, cities that are enclaves of the "gimme something for nothing" crowd.

It's true in Mass, N.Y., Calif. and Illinois. Look at who we have as U.S. Senators in those states.

[George W. Bush]

Here in Illinois we have a choice for Governor of the current dim Governor Blagojevich or Judy Topinka, the biggest rino to come down the pike. Disgusting choices.

I have happier choices: a strong anti-illegals and Club For Growth freshman congressman, certain to win his seat. And a fake conservative Dim to defeat for the Senate.

I don't go for punishing the House for what the Senate did. But some of you just don't have good choices. You should look for ways to get conservatives elected elsewhere in the country. We have some good races this year. Club For Growth has some good Reagan-Gingrich conservatives and they're 6-1 win-loss so far for 2006.

[deport]

So, perhaps 2006 really is "the year of the Constitution Party."
