Is Michael Peroutka Bush's Nader?

[Czolgosz]

I know (and agree) that Nader is already as much Bush's "Nader" and he is Kerry's "Nader" this year, but I monitor an insanely right-wing website now and again, and I came across this post about the Constitutional Party's candidate, Michael Peroutka, and I'm wondering if the fundamentalists have been properly made aware that they can vote for all their prejudices without voting for Bush:

Has anyone been following the Constitutional Party candidacy of Michael Peroutka? Check it out at http://www.peroutka2004.com/. If you live in a battleground state and if you think the election will be close, VOTE BUSH. But if you're like me (I'm a Texan), and you're state will not be close or if you think the election is in the bag (which I also think), consider the Constitutional Party (I'm now torn between Bush, write-in for Buchanan, or Peroutka -- and after I spoke with someone today about the Constitutional Party, I'm leaning toward Peroutka).

I'm just asking that some of you in non-swing states consider him. The Constitutional Party truly espouses the same values I read on this board. For example:

The Republican Platform Ignores God, Exalts Man's "Goodness"

There is a BUNCH more that you will agree with! I'm not saying that the folks in Colorado should vote for the Constitutional Party, but if you're in Texas, or New York, or California, or a similarly out-of-contention state, please consider the Constitutional Party. Tell the Republican's that there is a real constituency that wishes the Republican Party would return to its conservative roots.

2. There's also Badnarik

He of the Libertarian party. They don't get a lot of votes, but they tend to steal from Republicans much more so than liberals.

3. I agree that the Libertarians siphon more R votes than D votes

but there are some pro-pot-type Libertarians who would otherwise vote D. This Constitutional Party is so far right that there is not a D in his or her right mind that would even consider voting for Peroutka so he takes ZERO votes from Kerry, but it does seem like it could cut into Bush's base in the south (especially if there are southern voters who want to vote against homosexuals and reproductive rights but who have other complaints with Bush).

4. Badnarik is polling much better than Peroutka

Soemwhere between 1 and 2 percent @ Zogby. And unlike Peroutka, Badnarik is at least a resident of this planet.

The Libertarian site is interesting from the standpoint of people taking on Bush from an entirely different perspective. Looks like they are going right after the fiscal conservatives of the GOP.

5. Hmmm......i never thought about Peroutka....i've been

pushing them to Badnarik.....but perhaps I should throw the Constitution party into the mix too. I don't know that many fundies tho. lots of freeptards, but they're the types that will never actually admit they are anti-everybody not white/male/protestant

6. I tell you the Constitutional Party website is completely anti-Bush

(and Kerry is hardly mentioned). Of course, they are attacking Bush from the right (yikes!).
