From Politics1:
MOORE ACTING MORE LIKE A CANDIDATE. Ousted Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore (R) -- the "Ten Commandments Judge" -- is starting to act more and more like a third party Presidential candidate. For a guy who isn't running for President "right now" (to quote his spokesperson), he's sure doing things that candidates seem to do. In fact, according to the Constitution Party's website, Moore is speaking at party events in Oregon and Montana this month. With President Bush currently trailing both Kerry and Edwards for re-elction by double-digits -- according to the latest CNN poll -- that last thing he wants in November is a "Ralph Nader of the Right" draining Christian conservative votes from his essential base.As a pro-life libertarian who supports a strong national defense, I am somewere between the LP and the Constitution Party. I like some of the stuff in their platform (banning abortion, pulling out of the UN), if not the whole thing (immigration moratorium, NAFTA repeal). But this Moore guy is a total buffoon, and I'm glad he got thrown out on his ass from the Alabama Supreme court. Here is another piece about a potential Moore run that notes the Constitution Party had its presidential candidate on the ballot in 41 states in 2000.
By the way, some guy from Glen Burnie is running for president on the Constitution Party ticket. His slogan is "God, Family, Republic". Good luck!
