BREAKING NEWS UPDATE FROM THE CONSTITUTION PARTY

[Cyber Liberty]

So do cats. 

I had a friend with some large Pythons (15-20 feet).  She didn't like cats for them, because their claws could really hurt her pets.  She kept a rabbit hutch out back to raise feeders.  She only had to feed them once a week or so.

It's just fuel for The Dreamers, and I don't mean DACA.  They continue a fruitless and kinda pathetic hope that a perfect party will come along that will save them from both Trump and the Left.

 


I have been hearing talks about a perfect party since I was born. Let me break to this to everyone. There is no such thing as a perfect party.

I dunno, that Oregon Parks Board gig sounds pretty impressive to me.

The Olathe, KS water district has Jim Vader on the board.  He finds the lack of purity disturbing.

No one stated that the Constitution Party was perfect nor is it set in stone that there will be a mass exodus of conservatives from Congress to the party. IF such an exodus were to occur, that would certainly open up the opportunity for a 3rd party win. Right now I see some optimism for change as there are a couple of politicians disgruntled enough within the GOP to give the Constitution party a look. The only thing I see pathetic is expecting things to get better without there being any real change and giving up any hope of getting back to a party of Constitutional conservatives running the country, and continuing to accept that two parties have made it nearly impossible for anyone else to conquer their corruption that has taken foothold on the electoral process.

I'm not sure how much luck you will have trying to convince someone who doesn't know whether she wanted Trump or Hillary to win.

Of course the Republican Party is far from perfect.  Very far.  But, realistically speaking our best chance of avoiding liberalism is re-making the Republican Party and not some party that would take at least 20 years to get a foothold.

I think we'll see some changes in the next two elections.

Yeah right... I've heard that crap for 30 years.
You won't change a doggone thing.

What a refreshing dose of optimism.  Thank you.

You're right and the election of a not politician, Donald Trump proves it, but do
not expect the NTers here to see that.

[txradioguy]

I think it's worth at least giving this party a chance.  Certainly the Republicans are taking us in the opposite direction of where we should be going.

Exactly.

[Emjay]

Again, IMHO a major exodus by conservative members such as Cruz, Lee, Jordan, Paul, Gohmert, Amash, etc., to the Constitution Party would not only raise a few eyebrows, but I think you would see conservatives coming back to the polls to vote.  Voters would have a choice other than voting for the lesser of two evils.

Gohmert nor Cruz or Lee would be stupid enough to leave the Republican party.

The only one I can think of who might would be Rand Paul.  I like him but he's crazy.  Probably not crazy enough to do that.

Look, I don't blame people for dreaming but it's just that ... dreaming.

The election of Donald Trump was a strange anomaly but it does prove that the country is sick, sick, sick of liberalism.

[Emjay]

Exactly.

What does giving this party a chance mean in the real world.  I'm willing to give them a chance but it is a snowball's chance in the hot place.

That is profound.  Neither McCain or Romney could present the case in a winning way.

It took Trump to take the sugar coating off, and go all out, like somebody damned intent, on winning.

Regarding GHW Bush, Bob Dole, GW Bush, John McCain, and Mitt /Romney can you say "Weak," and "milquetoast?"

True, but it also proves that it is possible to do a hostile take over of an existing
major party. The battle for the GOP will be fought in the GOP primaries.

And the leadership changed the rules to make sure it never happens again.

So - I'm laughing at those of you insisting that such a thing can be done.

No - they made sure it can never happen again.

But you go ahead and pretend otherwise, because it's the only way you can continue to tell yourselves that voting Republican makes a difference.

Yup!  And sent me packing when they did!

McCain is just plain despicable.

[Frank Cannon]

Bullshit pal. We had the perfect party at one of my themed fraternity mixers in college. Plenty of drugs, booze and all the brothers got laid.

[Bigun]

McCain is just plain despicable.

And always has been!  He would have spent his life selling used cars but for his father and grandfather!

[TomSea]

I checked into them and did give them quite a bit of support in '12 when they ran Virgil Goode who did endorse Trump in the last election.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_Party_(United_States)

They also "absorbed" per above, the American Independent Party (founded by George Wallace's campaign in '68), they also ran Alan Keyes for President. I thought though, the American Independent Party still exists.

They are an interesting party, the Libertarian Party now, seems to have gone a bit to liberal on some issues like same sex marriage.

American Independent Party of California did endorse Trump Pence.

I guess, they are part of the American Independent Party, I can not discern all of the differences.

??? Stupid enough to leave the Republican Party?  It's not like the Republican Party stood behind Cruz when he was running against Hillary and there's no love lost between him and McConnell.  The Senate is crumbling all around him more so than before and he knows it.

Money talks and money is all that matters.

Principles are just sound bites for public consumption to obtain votes, even if a representative truly has principles they want to govern by.

None them are going to leave a party that is corrupt when the money is all that matters to nearly everyone.

I have arrived at the point that if they are truly Conservative they need to get out of the GOP.  I will never again vote for anyone in that party - I do not care if it a clone of Reagan himself.

The party has demonstrated what it will do to anyone who will not tow the Establishment/Oligarchy agenda.

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE FROM THE CONSTITUTION PARTY

We still do not have even one vote in Congress....sorry Charley..... I have no intention/desire of going third party. I'll quit voting first..... as it would be a waste of time.
