There problem is the more leftist people won't like their economic stances, and the rightist won't like their social stances.

Believing everything one party puts forth would be folly in my opinion. I like the majority of the LPs platform so I became a part of it (small part). Constitutionalists bring in too much of the religious right influence in for me to ever fully like what they put forth.

Yeah I have come to hate the 'new' tea party since when it started it was mostly LP folks and the anti big fed crowd and has started to become more and more of a Republican lap dog.... oh well, I still know where I stand.

I like the LP on most social issues, but have issues with their economic stance. However tend to vote for them because someone needs to cut out some of the shit we are just throwing money away at for no reason (not in political power so not sure on what the programs are, but wouldn't doubt there are more then a few) and haven't found anyone else that will actually do it.

Constitutionalists are the party i never get due to, like you said, the high religious aspect they throw into it. It just seems like for a party all about the Constitution they would follow it first before religious beliefs (which they are for the government deciding who can marry and who can have abortions etc.)
