Constitution Party Candidate Calls Bailout Unconstitutional

PENSACOLA, Fla. - The Constitution Party candidate for president says John McCain and Barack Obama have shown they're unfit for office by voting for the 700 billion-dollar financial bailout.
The Reverend Chuck Baldwin, a Florida pastor who's on leave while he runs for president, says the bailout is unconstitutional, and McCain and Obama had both sworn as senators to uphold the Constitution.
Baldwin says the important thing isn't whether a candidate claims to be a Christian, but whether he or she will fulfill that oath to "defend the Constitution of the United States."
To those who argue that a vote for the Constitution Party is wasted, Baldwin says a wasted vote is one that's cast for a candidate who voters know won't uphold their values.
