David, another load of horse manure that you are so fond of cultivating. For those with at least one brain cell in their cranial cavity, then check to see where this wacko politician is coming from.

Quote: "With the disaffiliation of the American Independent Party of California in 2008 to support Alan Keyes’ presidential bid, the Constitution Party lost the bulk of its 384,722 registered members. The Constitution Party now refers to itself as “America’s fastest growing political party.” The Independent American Party of Nevada has flirted with disaffiliating itself and joining the American Independent Party of California in America’s Independent Party founded by Alan Keyes. America’s Independent Party is considering changing its name to the Independent American Party if the Independent American Party of Nevada were to join her ranks. Both the American Independent Party of California and the Independent American Party of Nevada are led by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

The Constitution Party advocates a platform which it says aims to reflect the principles of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, the Bible, and the Bill of Rights."

Exactly what has the bible got to do with how a government is regulated? Sounds suspiciously like a cult to me and is using the ‘cover’ of religion to disguise its true purpose and attract converts to its cause. Why are christians so gullible to these manipulators?


Yup, you heard it here, first, folks. Being a member of the LDS Church automatically disqualifies one from participating in politics.

During the 19th century, the bigotry was “No Irish need apply.”

Steve,
nothing to do with christians, although it is the grass roots christians who are attracted to these showmen snake oil sellers, but what has a government got to do with the bible? It is obvious that the snake oil seller is using religion, as a front, to sell his politics. Oh, I get it he is a christian and so he must be able to be trusted. Gee it is so simple, if a politician is a christian, then he would not cheat his constituents. One flaw here in that most politicians are christian and any sane person would not trust them an inch.

If I may repeat something I mentioned before Tim. A person is NOT a Christian by default, because he is not a Muslim, Jew or agnostic does not mean he is Christian. With that said, all men sin and fall short. To even insinuate the person's political flaw is they belong to a certain church, is insulting.

David,
I did not state that because he was a christian he was at fault. I said that he uses christianity to push his political aims. Without the following of christians he would be a political nobody. Exactly how many are his registered party followers? No one of the faithful will reply as to why a political party has used the bible as the basis of its form of government? The fundamentalist Muslims are criticised if they follow shira law and yet a politician is able to fleece voters by promoting his brand of religion in politics. Government is NOT about religion, it is about GOVERNING the country.

What do you base your criticism on? His membership in a church? Where did you discover the information about the third of a million voters lost?

I for one changed my party affiliation in Pennsylvania to Republican to vote the our primary elections for Ron Paul, as did many, many others. That MAY be what you read. BTW, I mailed my change of party form back the same day I voted.

A man of Christian convictions I believe is a positive attribute, you may not.

David,
the majority of your politicians, both Republican and Democrat, are christians. By disseminating between parties, then are you saying that Republican christians are better christians than Democrat christians? You are unable to separate religion from politics.

Good read for those who think that a government requires religion to be able to function.

I do not believe I said anything about parties. As far as I am concerned ther isn't a hill-of-beans difference between the two "big box" parties.

I read the first 6 or so paragraphs and I agree 100% with the writer.
