Battered Voter Syndrome

For Those Suffering from This Debilitating Disorder, A New Poll Suggests
Recovery Has Begun.

A recent poll taken at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington , D.C. shows conservatives are fed up with the current political regime and want a new batch of leaders.

The poll (ConservativesBetrayed.com) shows 82% of those asked think the Republican Party no longer represents them. The results of the poll are tantamount to a "no confidence" vote and come in the wake of the Republican Party's stunning defeat in November.

"Like battered spouses, many voters held on, believing time and again the promises the Republicans made about limiting government, staying true to conservative ideals and getting the country back on track" commented Constitution Party (www.constitutionparty.com) National Chairman Jim Clymer. "For far too long voters endured the disappointment of years of broken promises from those they trusted. Now, it appears voters are quietly packing their bags, filing for divorce from their abusive political party and moving in with a party that has never strayed from its constitutionally-sound platform" Clymer noted.

We Won't Be Fooled Again
The CPAC respondents also registered their disapproval of the so-called
'front-runners' the GOP is offering as presidential candidates in '08.
Close to 90% of those polled said they'd vote for the conservative standard bearer Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo over such hyper-liberal GOP darlings as Rudy Giuliani (24%) and Arizona Senator John McCain (16%). In fact, those asked said they'd vote for a third party candidate if McCain wound up being the Republican nominee. Texas Congressman Ron Paul-who has a 100% constitutionally-sound voting record, but is assiduously ignored by the Republican leadership, polled at a high 62%.

"It appears conservatives have had their hearts broken far too many times to sit quietly by and take another beating," said Constitution Party
Communications Director Mary Starrett. "Even the most trusting party
loyalists have come to the embarrassing conclusion that it's time to seek a dissolution, cut their losses and recoup what's left of their political
pride. That is why the Constitution Party has become the third largest
party in the country. Disheartened voters leaving both "Big Box" parties
are contacting us daily, flooding the political blogosphere with posts
about their new home at the Constitution Party and visiting our
website(www.constituionparty.com) in unprecedented numbers," Starrett added.

Time to Move Out
"My view is that the Republican Party is beyond repair" commented author Tom Kovach. One cannot be for border security and vote Republican. The leading proponents of border security within the Republican Party - US Representatives Tom Tancredo and Ron Paul - are being virtually ignored by their own party", Kovach lamented. Jim Clymer noted: "Now that voters recovering from Battered Voter Syndrome are discovering there is a way out after all, the Republican policy makers will have to realize they have no one to blame but themselves".

As an 81 year old vet of WW11 I fear that the current zionist/neocon administration represents the greatest threat to the dream and promise of our founding fathers that we have thus far faced. Unless this congress abides by it oath to protect and defend the constitution, I hold little hope that we can avoid a fascist take over.

GOP Government of Plutocrats

I fear your concern is too little and way too late. The GOP, Republican Party, has sold out to the neocon fascists and the neocons have sold out to the MIC, Military-Industrial-Complex.
We the people are out of the loop. So much for government of, by and for the people.

The 9:15 Will Alway Leave On Time

I read through the Constitution Party (CP) website, and the blogosphere where I had to agree with comments I found like, "Rick Santorum is too liberal for them." To say that the CP has some good ideas is to say, "Hey, you gotta admit, Mussolini made the trains run on time."
