Ron Paul has rejected Constitution Party overtures for third party run

Back in December, we ran the story Ron Paul to make third party run on Constitution Party ticket.

The information we had was from a reliable source. His contact accurately reported what he had been asked by the Constitution Party. However, he left out a vital detail: Had Ron Paul already agreed to run on the Constitution Party ticket, or was he merely being courted? Did our source's contact get approached by the Constitution Party as a part of the Constitution Party laying the groundwork, in case Paul agreed, or did Paul and the Party have some sort of agreement that then changed.

We do not know the answer to that. However, our source has gotten back to us with an update from that same contact. Our source had dinner with him recently, and our source told us...

"I asked how that was coming along and he told me that Rep. Paul has turned down the offer, and that was no longer interested in seeing what happened in '92 (Perot) happen again this year and give the Dem the White House."

Guess they'll just have to go with Judge Roy "Ten Commandments" Moore...

1. Constitution Party = fascist assholes

There's nothing remotely constitutional about the Constitution Party. These people are a bunch of far-right, religious extremists who want to return to a 1790 mentality (except that part about separation of church and state).
