		<description>Patrick Henry&#039;s comments were considered, but then rejected by the majority of the members to the Constitutional Congress. 

How quaint that the C-Party would resurrect (no pun intended) his failed amendment and place it squarely at the front of their &quot;constitution.&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;This country was NOT “founded” on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

They&#039;re just quoting Patrick Henry, Bill.  I know he&#039;s your favorite of the Founders. ;)  It doesn&#039;t appear that they give him the credit for those words.</description>

		<description>Bill G.,

The main component of the so-called &quot;Constitution Party&quot; is, actually, AGAINST the US Constitution.  That you are a proud member of said party demonstrates that you are not really that qualified to argue about what is and what is not &quot;constitutional&quot; in this country.

The following &lt;b&gt;Preamble&lt;/b&gt; to your party&#039;s constitution demonstrates that by the mere wording:  &lt;b&gt;he Constitution Party gratefully acknowledges the blessing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as Creator, Preserver and Ruler of the Universe and of these United States. We hereby appeal to Him for mercy, aid, comfort, guidance and the protection of His Providence as we work to restore and preserve these United States.

This great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been and are afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.&lt;/b&gt;

This country was NOT &quot;founded&quot; on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  

You and other members of the C-Party like to think that it is &quot;okay&quot; to just insert your own interpretations about the intent of the original writers and voters of the US Constitution, but, (Facebook friend of mine or not), you&#039;re just plain full of manure, Bill G.</description>

		<description>Jane,

You got a problem with saying the word &quot;gay?&quot;  AND...I&#039;m actually pretty sure that not all gay Republicans are members of the &quot;Log Cabin Republicans.&quot;

Furthermore, to presume or ASS-ume that because a person is gay, they might possibly be &quot;anti-woman&quot; is to more demonstrate that YOU are pretty ignorant, and you might be happier joining the &quot;GOP Dykes on Bikes Club&quot; than remaining in the regular Republican Party.</description>

		<description>Bill,  See my post to you on the Alec Poitevint thread.  Seriously Bill.  I&#039;d quit drawing attention to myself...  Your credentials for having been elected a National Delegate Alternate are in question enough by quite a few.</description>

		<description>So unconstitutional that the law has not been struck down by the SCOTUS.

		<description>Debbie, what makes you think that John McCain will appoint constitutionalists as justices?

Just about every major bill that he&#039;s stuck his name on lately (e.g., McCain-Feingold) has been unconstitutional. He&#039;ll just appoint people that will uphold his stuff -- and those people sure won&#039;t be conservative.

The &quot;McCain legacy&quot; is an unknown quantity, not a given.

Methinks some people have too much faith in the good Senator...</description>

		<description>The 9th district drug on until after 3pm.  Some nerd from Forsyth County (I think) made a spectacle of himself on points of order, as if he were the de facto parliamentarian or something.

Congressman Deal&#039;s speech was fantastic.  He said so much more than just his reasons for supporting McCain.  He made some very good points on rights and how they are derived.  His comments on McCain were merely a comparison of McCain&#039;s love for and service to his country and the unpatriotic and anti-American rhetoric, actions, and associations of the democratic candidates.</description>

		<description>I was front row center (literally) at the 10th District convention.  The comments taking exception with Mr. Fleming  noted above came from various places around the hall and they were not all from Nikki.

Though there ma not have been a massive display of disapproval with Mr. Fleming&#039;s comments, there was audible discontent.

See my post on the convention:

		<description>We need to work our rears off for McCain.  The Supreme Court is at stake.  The next President will most likely get to appoint two Supreme Court Justices because of retirement or death. 

Do you really want to just let Obama or Clinton make those appointments?

Who had you rather make those appointments?

These appointments can steer the SC solidly conservative or steer it back to the far left... These appointments will affect our country for the next decade at least...</description>

		<description>It&#039;s hilarious that I&#039;m hearing from every district convention about the desperate speeches being made by politician after politician, cajoling imploring and begging &lt;i&gt;Republicans&lt;/i&gt; to PLEASE support John McCain, yes we know we disagree with him, yes we know he&#039;s not conservative, yes we know we&#039;ve fought against him time after time, yes we know he was almost John Kerry&#039;s running mate...

But we don&#039;t want OBAMA  or HILLARY, do we??? We HAVE TO get out and round up support for McCain! WE HAVE TO!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>U.S. Congressman Nathan Deal spoke at the 9th District convention.  He spoke about supporting John McCain and his love for America.  About 3 Resolutions were passed.  And Brad Scott announced that he was &quot;forming a committee to explore running for State Representative of District 3&quot; in place of Ron Forster.  I still don&#039;t know why he doesn&#039;t just come out and say he&#039;s running.</description>

		<description>The funniest thing that happened at the 11th was when the one man tried to use the microphone up front to make the no votes louder and the lady standing next to him reprimanded him in front of the whole convention (using the same microphone, so we could all hear what was going on:)  I don&#039;t know who the lady was, but she deserves a medal for drawing attention to that dishonest action.</description>
