I agree completely. On one hand, it'd be a horrible idea to start that party but on the other hand, it's not like they'd win an election anyway.
Probably not, but we would definitely cast the deciding votes.
Spend all the money you like on your campaigns. Have your conventions. Make your speeches. When it's all over, we'll decide who runs the country. The Republicans went luke warm on us and look what happened. Any large minority can control closely contested elections. When the Democratic party falls out of favor with blacks, they're done. Last time around they deliberately limited their contest to a female and a Halfrican American. They didn't do that because those were the two best candidates. The base demanded it and when they got it, they showed up.
No, but it does say that the government cannot condone any one religion. I understand that creating a party would not be unconstitutional, but if the party actually started assuming offices, there could be a major conflict of interest.

So a good southern Evangelical Christian candidate will clean up that minority mess you refer to, right?

No, the language is "establish a religion". That is not what would happen
BTW, did you know the Congress does not meet on Jewish Holidays?
Then all issues could be solved with the question:
OOps, I backspaced too far...anyway I just wanted to say that the "Constitution Party" has deep rooted beliefs in religion, specifically Christianity....thats one reason I think they get nowhere, they want to mix too much govt.' with religion. (Now I would agree that this is already being done...but the 2 top parties don't actually campaign on it!)
Same reaon I believe the "Libertarian Party" will get nowhere, because they believe in legalizing marijuana...it would be interesting to see what these 2 parties coud do if they toned down some of their platform ideas!

Yes it cannot establish a religion for the country. So, if the Christian party took office, don't you think it would be likely to attempt to establish Christianity as a national religion?
Not much difference between the two. Its debatable whether Christians would be more violent, more busy... probably, a lot more factions to deal with.
Not really sure I understand your assertion. As is, Muslims are at war with other Muslims in various parts of the world. But with the exception of N. Ireland, little voilence has taken place between "Christians" over religious differences. Perhaps you could provide an example of that to which you are referring.

No.
And the point also is - I support having numerous political parties - not just religious ones!
I am opposed to the two party system - how about you?
