| Message | No taxpayer money for foreign governments, regimes and factions a minority of our leadership deem "OK". This opens the door to dangerous entangling alliances and the MLP will, once again, oppose vehemently! |

| Message | Opens the door? It can very very well be kept shut even if we give aid. You always say "This opens the door to..." but guess what, if we keep it locked, IT'S LOCKED! It's like saying, if we can't cuss on TV then soon enough we won't be able to even speak our minds on TV!" No, things like that won't happen as long as: WE MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T!. Have you ever heard of MODERATION? Finally a new vocabulary word for you MLP! Or at least now you know the meaning, because you seem like the EXTREME! Libertarian Party on some issues. |

| Message | I thought the Constitution Party stood for national sovereignty? Not giving handouts to other nation at the expense of our taxpaying populace. Your positions on the conservative front appear to be as weak as milk-toast these day. Perhaps that Supreme Governorship has gone to your head. Stop coddling the left and their wasteful social programs with ABSOLUTELY NO ACCOUNTABILITY and international welfare dole-outs without specifics. It's time you stood up for this nation's CONSTITUTION, Constitution Party, as well as the will of the people who put the MLP in the majority the last 2 election cycles. If extreme means defending liberty and individual choice and responsibility from theocratic idealogues and nanny-state communists, then we are extreme. We're moderate because we don't want to push Judeo-Christianity on everyone and take their hard-earned paychecks under government mandate. |
