You expected something different? 

They actually don't like either party.....

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Good. Nice to see they aren't ego-filled idiots like Ralph Nader and the Greens.

[Landslide Lyndon]

I'm shocked and appalled. There is still a Communist Party in the US?

On the 1st of July, 2011, at an online convention we, the concerned Citizens of the United States, formally established the United States Pan-American-Socialist-Fascist-Communist-Nazi-Pedophilia Party.

The first act of the USPASFCNPP was to endorse a Presidential candidate.

After a unanimous vote¹ we announce our full support of Congressman Ron Paul of Texas and our belief that he completely supports the values advocated by our organization's name.

Thanks,

King
Chairman, United States Pan-American-Socialist-Fascist-Communist-Nazi-Pedophilia Party.

Its quite common for small communist parties to endorse candidates of other parties and tends to be more a comment on which major party they find less bad than because of any real affinity.

More importantly, whom will the Natural Law Party eventually endorse?

Well, in this case, this is still the US Communist Party, the residuum after the Trotskyites, Maoists and other Third Worldists, etc. jumped off ship.  We're talking maybe a few dozen people.

Did they send him a questionnaire before they endorsed him?   
Slovoj Zizek mused be pissed.

The Communist Party has been endorsing the Democrats off and on since 1936, with Earl Browder and his popular front.

Actually,  during the 1990's, the General Secretary, Gus Hall, was the longest serving Communist Party head in the world.

This is interesting, because it shows that the US Communist Party is more conservative than our Communists.

Could you imagine the German Left or the KPÖ endorsing the war-supporting and bank-supporting christian-democratic Wall Street puppet Obama ?

No way.

Are there any places it still exists?  When the guru who bankrolled it gave up on politics he told them to just disband, not that they did.  South Carolina's NLP got taken over by the Greens to get ballot status.  (South Carolina's ballot access laws make it difficult for a party to get ballot status, but once they have it, it is trivial to maintain, and easy for a defunct third party to be coöpted by a new third party.)

CPUSA also supported Stalin.
