					<description>By the way did anyone record the other speeches so I can see them. I want to hear Daniel Imperato's speech. I saw a youtube video of him claiming he was the descentant of the Emperor Nero. Which could be the most plausible thing he said hey by now that guy probably has a lot of descendants.</description>

					<description>I actually am a fan of Don Grundmann I think he should have been the VP. His site http://www.truthusa.org/ is the bomb.</description>

					<description>It looks like third-party conservatives need to stop looking for a media savy candidate and simply go with the largest and most organized conservative party in America.

The CP.

That's all I can say.</description>

					<description>Sigh. Why cannot we just get a legitimate, strong, savvy, big league, Conservative Third Party effort going which millions upon millions of Americans will come to know about, with a standard bearer known by millions and and end to all this infighting and minor [some clearly mentally disturbed] candidates from Mars and other planets??  

Why cannot we fill a huge convention hall like the old days of George Wallace (American Independent Party) in 1968 with 50,000...100,000, and scores of national reporters and cameramen, and front page news. All we have here is a small hotel salon with a few hundred people, and names the average Joe in America has no concept of. Let us be honest and look outside of the small hotel conference room and into America, 250 million plus, at-large, and take a real reality check. 

Conclusion: How can we take on RINO McCain and Socialist/Appeasers Obama/Clinton in such a shambles as this with such a third rate operation run out of a garage, with terrible, unprofessional PR, with loser candidates nobody knows--who could never step into the Oval Office and govern anymore than a part time, high school supermarket boxboy could take over sales management of 10 regional western states for a huge chain store. It is all very disappointing for 2008 for conservatives. There is truly no place to go now.</description>

					<description>Alan Keyes has done nothing of significance to promote the conservative cause. !n 1996, his bid for president only accomplished one thing, he kept Pat 
Bunchanan from getting the Republican nomination.  Alan Kesyes lacks basic honesty and does not pay his debts. 
As John McCain is about to leave the Republican Party in shambles, Alan Keyes will destroy the Constitution Party.  www.alankeyesexposed.info</description>

					<description>Why will Ron Paul be nominated?  He shows no interest in running third party, if anything one would think IF he was running third party it would be LP.  What would happen to the CP if he gets nominated? He would in all likelhood refuse the nomination; where would that leave the CP?</description>

					<description>Do party rules allow Dr. Paul to be nominated even if he is not present? If so, this would be an excellent thing to do! Draft Ron Paul for the top of the ticket and put Chuck Baldwin in the VP slot with the intention of moving him up after the GOP convention. It would probably be too late to take Ron Paul's name off the ballot in some states but what a problem to have! It would be worth a lot of votes AND still nominate someone who is in near total agreement with the principles and platform of the CP. Go Ron, go!</description>

					<description>So what happens if the vote comes out 40% Paul, 30% Baldwin and 30% Keyes?  Or if Paul got a majority? If the man that won't accept the nomination  gets accidentally drafted by delegates eager to show support, does someone need to have him on the phone to get him to formally accept or refuse?</description>

					<description>Thank you for this great report which illuminates the types of speeches that happen at this convention. Hopefully, there will either be a Baldwin/Keyes or Paul/Baldwin ticket, to make the strongest conservative anti-Republican ticket to steal votes and help the Obama revolution.

I also humbly ask again that Constitution Party delegates and Imperato campaign staff, if you are reading this, if you would circulate my Fringe Alliance Strategy program to other delegates. Here it is reposted. I am sorry I was unable to attend this convention, but I will be attending the LP and GP conventions.

I have developed a strategy based on an alliance between the Green, libertarian
and constitution parties, the various socialist movements and centrist independents, Kucinich Democrats, Ron Paul Republicans, and other smaller groups such as fascists, feudalists, monarchists and syndicalists, to initiate the following goals.

1. The electoral college is abolished.
2. The presidential election uses a national Majo		rity Runoff system. This will change us from a republic to a democracy.
3. Congress is elected through proportional representation.

Third parties should spend most of their energies pushing for these constitutional amendments, using graphic protests in public locations. Otherwise, the
efforts of all of them are doomed to do nothing more than push the major parties slightly in one direction, and ruin the chances of the parties that their
candidates are most closely aligned with, while gaining such small failing numbers for themselves. The people who visit this site are by definitions on
the fringes of society. It is important for the fringe to get together. This strategy is gaining the support of many political scientists across the nation,
and I will continue to post it several times a week here until it is adopted. Fortunately, we have the Obama Revolution to save our country for now.
The revolution will be televised.
Please pray for the pope and please pray for Barack Obama. Amen.</description>

					<description>Thanks for the good coverage.  It is refreshing change for a news coverage that details information without subliminal messages.  I actually thought it was positive for Alan keyes the Howard Phillips tried to blindside him.  Alan's response shows his true nature under stress, versus others like Chuck Baldwin who who hope to float through nomination in flowery beds of ease.  If the Republican party has blackballed Mr Keyes he must be doing something right..
The Constitution party is right in that America is at a threshold, now more than ever vote for someone who embodies your values...</description>
