He was the Constitution Party candidate for President of the United States in 2004 . He ran on a platform of " God , Family , Republic ", emphasizing the Bible , the Traditional Family , and the need for a more Constitutional government in his campaign. This is strictly in line with the Constitution Party's platform. His running mate was Baptist minister Chuck Baldwin . He gained support from many Paleoconservatives , and was also endorsed by the America First Party . Peroutka was also endorsed by the League Of The South . Peroutka accepted the endorsement from the League at their 2004 national convention. Political commentator Pat Buchanan revealed on '' Hardball With Chris Matthews '' to Chris Matthews that he had considered voting for Peroutka. The November 8, 2004 issue of The American Conservative contained endorsements by Taki Theodoracopolous and Howard Phillips (the latter having founded the party Peroutka represented). Peroutka received just over one-tenth of one percent of the national popular vote, finishing fifth nationally with just under 150,000 votes. This was a showing similar to previous Constitution Party candidacies of Howard Phillips . EXTERNAL LINKS |
