:evilgrin:

************************

Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minuteman Project, is considering a run for president in 2008 representing the Constitution Party.

Gilchrist has just returned from Florida where he met with the party's national committee.

Chairman James Clymer told WorldNetDaily the party was excited about the possibility of Gilchrist as its marquis candidate.

"Yes, indeed, we are interested," Clymer said. "Gilchrist spoke to us last weekend in Tampa and our people asked Jim then if he would be the candidate. We think it would be wonderful if Jim Gilchrist would seriously consider being our presidential candidate."

as side note - the freepers are none too thrilled with this news.

1. wiping the laugh tears away....
I can understand his frustration, but such a candidature would hand the White House to the Dems.

The GOP is already handing it to the democrats. Gilchrist wouldn't win but the issue wont be shoved aside.

He's got my vote.

BRING IT ON......Republicans will switch in droves and Reagan Democrats will flock to a charismatic candidate.....one with common sense and a traditionally conservative platform!!!

Yes...I say.....

BRING IT ON....BIG TIME!!!

3. I can picture him walking into a debate with his rifle in hand,
cigarillo clenched between his teeth, beer belly preceding his entrance.

10. Republicans eating their own.
Yes, a looney third party like the "Constitution" Party should field a candidate. I'll gladly send money. When you unleash the dogs of hate, they bite. The right needs to learn that lesson.
