The Constitution Party, a conservative third party founded in 1992 to serve as a possible ticket for Pat Buchanan to run on, plans to have nominated its candidate for President by July 2007, World Net Daily reports.

The party held a national committee meeting last weekend where Howard Phillips, who is the party's founder and three time Presidential candidate (1992, 1996 and 2000), told World Net Daily "The time has never been better for a third party dark horse candidate to grab the White House."

Phillips said that the party will nominate candidate next year and among the possibilities are: Jim Gilchrist, former Republican presidential candidate Alan Keyes, Pastor Chuck Baldwin and World Net Daily columnist Jerome Corsi.

The Constitution Party has shown no fruit other than opposition to pro-life appointments to the Supreme Court. And by their fruits I know them.

That is not being pro-abortion. There were other grounds for the opposition. Speaking of which what did the so called GOP Majority of 10 years do? By your logic I can also say the GOP is not pro-life. Actually there is ample evidence many Republicans support legalized abortion on demand. Remember Bob Dole and this two not so charming lady keynote speakers in 1996 at the Convention? Well? LOL. Nice try but those games don't work with me.

Now if the GOP wants my vote in 2008 then persons like yourself better start putting the screws to the RINO's which have been protected for the past 10 years. My vote is open to those who earn it based on platform. No for the sake of the party votes for me. I made my last such vote for Bob Dole in 1996.

Don't change the subject. Once again, the Constitution Party is not pro-life. It is a true statement and has been proven.

[cva66snipe]

No it hasn't and you do your posting credibility harm by keeping this up. The Constitution Party is 100% pro-life. You may not like them and that is your right. But your party hack spin does not make them pro-abortion but rather it makes you to be a LIAR!

Good day.

By their fruits you know them. The Constitution Party claims it is pro-life, but has only opposition to pro-life appointments to the Supreme Court as its fruits.

[cva66snipe]

Then you must be pro-abortion. Tell me and be honest If you can that is. How many Republicans have you voted for on state and national levels who were not pro-life for the sake of the GOP so the DEM did not get elected?

[StockAyatollah]

Not one thing which you say you quote from their web site is untrue. Also I find all of it conforming to traditional conservatism. Attacking another nation which has not threatened our own is not my definition of conservatism. The Republican party will not likely get my vote for president in 2008, especially with the lackluster crop of candidates they have displayed so far.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Then by your definition of declaring War, we never should have gone against Nazi Germany or Afghanistan, because even though they threatened our National Security and way of life, technically they didn't attack us.

Something else the should be clarified, conservatism had nothing to do with us going to War and it is wrong of you to associate it in that way.

I don't mind being honest with you because this should be an honest debate without the name-calling. Let's put that aside, OK? Remember, we both agree that abortion is horrible and we both want it stopped. No need to fight with each other, let's just look at what has happened. That is, after I honestly answer your question.

Like you, I voted for Bob Dole and I do not believe he is pro-life. I'll stress that I could be wrong about that. Nonetheless, I believe to this day that our country would be better off had Senator Dole defeated Bill Clinton in 1996.

I also voted GOP for at least one other office where I knew abortion was irrelevant since the issue could not be affected by the outcome. The GOP candidate in that case was not pro-life.

Having said that, I'd like for you to take a close look at the inner goings on of the Constitution Party. Things have not been on a very pro-life course for some time.

Talk to some people who are members. Find out what has happened. You will not likely get the straight scoop from major party leaders, since I am sure they are loyal to the party. But, if you get in touch with some of the former state affiliates that have left the party because it strayed away from a commitment to the unborn, you will hear the truth.

Honestly, the best efforts on behalf of unborn babies are not in the Constitution Party. It's just that simple.

So? Don't trust me then. Should I care?

[ZULU]

Anytime Mr. Bushbot.

And now that the President has screwed up the midterms and Congress by damaging Republican credibility and getting more Democrats elected than even before Newt Gingrich's Contract For America was so successful - so conveniently forgotten later by the RINOs - get back to me next year and give me a full report on how many Democrat bills Bush II signs into law. He's getting fitted for knee-pads right now.

Nope, just go right along thinking that democrat presidents appoint the same Federal judges as GOP presidents appoint. The Federal bench is not limited to SCOTUS appointments. Like DUH!

[ Poor logic. / Typical of the "Any Candidate Except the one that can Win" crowd. ]

Nope accurate logic.. joining the Constitution Party is poor logic.. Conservatives being socialists is extremely accurate.. Not all but most conservatives are..

You must vote republican if you're going to vote at all..
But if you do you will be voting for a socialist 99 to 1...
Regrettable situation..

Americans themselves are becoming MORE socialist every day that goes by..
A NoN socialist is mostly UNelectable..

The Communist Manifesto is fully enacted in the United States.. NOW...
Americas Colleges are graduating brain washed socialists every semester..
Been that way for decades too..

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

The Constitution Party (and the LP) can make itself useful by endorsing the most conservative Republican running in 2008, which is likely Duncan Hunter. With these endorsements, and not running a Presidential candidate of their own, the GOP would return to its conservative roots and sweep the 2008 elections.

The CP & the LP should do what the Conservative Party of New York does, and they'll be more effective that way. Otherwise, their leading candidates won't get elected dog catcher.

[hosepipe]

Constipation Party?.... true... those there are extremely constipated..
Constipation or Socialism(conservatives)... not good options..

Civil War is looking better and better.. America needs an enema..

[Howlin]

You really are as stupid are you appear, aren't you?

Bush wasn't running last year; the ones who lost lost because people like you are never satisfied with less than a whole loaf and most of you jerks sat home.

[ZULU]

No the Federal Bench isn't limited to SCOTUS.

But they have the final word, and they are the most visisble.

I haven't the slightest idea who Bush II appointed to the lower courts, and I doubt if you do either. If any of them are of the caliber of Harriet Meirs, we're in trouble.

As for the Democrat appointees, we KNOW what they are like -all bad - which is why I voted Rrepublican - I expect something better.

Bush has his good points - he hsa prevented an attack on American soil, and won in Afghanistan. He signed some good legislation and appinted two good justices to SCOTUS - one only great duress.

But his other actions contributed to the debacle of Election Day and now the Rats control Congress. It remains to be seen how effective he will be in contuing to protect to America with the Rats' fingers on the purse strings - fingers his mismanagement on a host of issues, including illegal invaders, helped put there. It also remains to be seen how effectively he will oppose them.

I think for your own peace of mind you should move over the DU forum as others on this thread.
Much of what I have seen on this thread is no different than the DU.

I haven't the slightest idea who Bush II appointed to the lower courts, and I doubt if you do either. If any of them are of the caliber of Harriet Meirs, we're in trouble.

I most assuredly do. Perhaps you have forgotten! His federal bench appointments have been stellar! So stellar the democrats tried to hold up several.

Janice Rogers Brown to name one of the best!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

And the day Tancredo jumps ship and runs third party is the day we are assured to have President Hillary Clinton or President Osama Obama.

Especially if someone like Duncan Hunter gets the GOP nomination. The CP would be fools to run a candidate of their own.

Like I said, the CP would be much more effective like the Conservative Party in New York state, who endorses conservative Republicans only.

[SoCalPol]

Duncan Hunter is to good to be mentioned in the same breath as the CP folks.
He is a Conservative Republican.

The CP folks are not conservative nor Republicans. Just go on their site and see their warped views.
