This is a continuation of my series on each of the political parties that have candidates in this year's Presidential race. It’s dry material, not real exciting, but I believe it’s necessary information that we all need before we cast a vote. Most do not understand that each candidate is committed to their party’s platform, and what we all hear during a campaign may or may not line up with it. When it doesn’t, if that candidate is elected, that candidate will try to advance the party platform instead of what he or she said during the campaign.
The CONSTITUTION PARTY 2008 Presidential candidate is CHUCK BALDWIN. I have not beenable to find any type of analysis of the party platform. Their platform is lengthy, but if you wish to read it, click HERE. I am posting an analysis of Chuck Baldwin himself from ON THE ISSUES. The analysis will be the same as before, concluding with a graph to easily show his overall political leanings.
CHUCK BALDWIN ON ABORTION
- Overturn Roe v. Wade. (Jul 2008)
- God begins human life at fertilization. (May 2008)
- Abortion is America's national holocaust. (May 2008)
- GOP did nothing to overturn Roe or end abortion-on-demand. (May 2008)
- Supports Sanctity of Life Act, defining fetus as person. (Apr 2008)
CHUCK BALDWIN ON BUDGET & ECONOMY
Restore a debt free, interest free money system. (May 2008)
CHUCK BALDWIN ON CIVIL RIGHTS
- Patriotism is not love of Big Government or Big Brother. (Mar 2008)
CHUCK BALDWIN ON CORPORATIONS
- Restore manufacturing base, not multinational corporations. (May 2008)
- End corporate welfare; put people ahead of CEOs. (May 2008)
CHUCK BALDWIN ON CRIME
No issue stance yet recorded by OnTheIssues.org.
CHUCK BALDWIN ON DRUGS
No issue stance yet recorded by OnTheIssues.org.
CHUCK BALDWIN ON EDUCATION
- Tax relief for homeschooling, private & religious schools. (May 2008)
- Disband the Department of Education; it's unconstitutional. (May 2008)
- Would be best friend homeschoolers ever had in White House. (May 2008)
CHUCK BALDWIN ON ENERGY & OIL
- Drill in Alaska for domestic energy sources. (May 2008)
- More drilling; more refineries; more nuclear power plants. (May 2008) (We better and we better do it soon – Red China is now drilling for our oil just fifty miles off the Florida coast. And just what is Congress doing? Nothing. Pursuing alternative energy exclusively will do nothing for years. The technology has to be developed. Drilling now would buy us time to do so.)
CHUCK BALDWIN ON ENVIRONMENT
- Champion property rights & oppose eminent domain abuse. (May 2008)
CHUCK BALDWIN ON FAMILIES & CHILDREN
- Parents should take kids to church & pray with them. (Jun 2008)
CHUCK BALDWIN ON FOREIGN POLICY
- End international meddling of the New World Order. (May 2008) No US participation in United Nations or world court. (May 2008)
- End foreign aid; end nation-building; end empire-building. (May 2008)
CHUCK BALDWIN ON FREE TRADE
- No North American Union; no NAFTA Superhighway. (May 2008)
- Don't merge US into North American Community. (May 2008)
- Out of the UN, NAFTA, and NATO. (May 2008) (I agree with getting us out of the so-called free trade agreements. It’s proven disastrous to domestic manufacturing. Withdrawing from NATO is unrealistic though. History has proven isolationism doesn’t work and would seriously threaten our national security.)
I’ll have more later.

In latter times people will want to have their ears tickled.... Timothy... paraphrased.
Let's face it, America doesn't really want someone who teaches and preaches the Truth of the bible. I calls 'em like I sees 'em.... lol.

I guess as a LEGAL US Resident, I am a strict Constitutionalist, because I have to agree with Baldwin on 99% of the issues you've told us about Dirk. The only one I disagree with, is the same one you pointed out about NATO. I agree with you that it wouldn't be realistic, but I like getting out of the UN, as most of them hate our guts anyway, and they are pretty much impotenet and useless. I love his stance on Homeschooling (I hope I didn't offend you or Nelishia about giving info to her about it!) I admit, I haven't heard of Chuck Baldwin, but I like his ideas a lot. God Bless, and thank you again for all your work here for us! Have a wonderful week my friend! Carolyn
