Is the candidate who says this a Democrat?

[Toucano]

"I believe in the Constitution and the Bill of rights as our founding Fathers intended....The time is here to take care of our citizens and our nation. At the same time we must root out evil at home and abroad wherever it rears its ugly head. We must always be on the moral high road doing this."

A candidate in a local race has posted this on his website. I've heard him speak a couple of times and at least once he said something about the "original constitution".

In my experience, that expression has only been used by right-wing fanatics who favor a strict constructionist interpretation of the constitution, a "Christian" based view of the founding, or some sort of other US Taliban plan.

I plan to bring this up to him to flesh out exactly what he means by it. He's fairly young and may not really understand what he's saying when he uses that expression. But I want your feedback and experience before I do.

Is there such a fish as a Democrat who is a strict constructionist?

Have you ever encountered someone who spoke about the "original" constitution who wasn't a zealot-fundie-nut-job?
