I said he sounded like the pro-growth candidate. But that doesn't mean I like him. I implied I liked his views on taxes and spending, but that doesn't mean I like him. I don't. And I don't like him for the exact opposite reason that you don't like him - I don't believe that he really is pro-choice or pro-gay-rights, or at least, I don't believe he will govern as if he is. And one area where we will agree - I don't like him because of his pro-war and anti-gun views. That said, as someone who has made a total of one vote for the GOP (and that was only to spite my Democratic state rep) in his life, I don't doubt that Giuliani may be the lesser of two evils on Election Day. Barack Obama and John Edwards are economic disaster-makers of the Ron Paul/Tom Tancredo variety. I didn’t say I liked him. I said he sounded like the pro-growth candidate.

He gave all of the right answers on economics questions. He sounds like he could be the pro-growth candidate, especially assuming Richardson does not win for the Dems. So question to you: Are you going to support him or Root if both win their nominations? Dondero – Giuliani was on Kudlow & Company yesterday. He gave all of the right answers on economics questions.

Root has failed in many businesses. But if you've read his book you'd know that's his whole schtick. He pounds over and over again on the theory that you must fail in life to ultimately succeed. I agree with him. I've had some doozies of failures. And it build character. Makes one stronger. That's quite a powerful message for him to spread. He'd be a cinch for the business/motivational crowd. Yeah, you’re right Darcy. Root has failed in many businesses. But if you’ve read his book you’d know that’s his whole schtick.

They gave USC the upset we (LSU) wanted this year. USC is pretty much our volatile enemy. The only people we hate more than USC is Auburn, Alabama, and Florida (only during league play,then we wish them well). I like UCLA. They gave USC the upset we (LSU) wanted this year.

Hard to believe. It's almost impossible to believe a person who looks at the world like you do could be a sports fan. Speaking of sports, lete me take this opportunity to say--GO UCLA. Let's beat that big ugly girl with a pony tail and the rest of the GATORS. (I, too, was, in Orlando over the weekend --actually Ocala--and I had to sit with a bunch of insufferable Florida fans at a restaurant and watch them celebrate after their team lucked out again.

Where the hell was Neal Boortz? What about Eric Donfascist? Why wasn't Rudy G there, yo? Barr revealed his secret plan to make the LP competitive in a few decades, but nobody spelled out the secret LP plan to make Republicrats enact new laws regarding ballot access, fundraising, and proportional representation that will make campaigning more competitive - against them. I don't blame Kubby for not showing up - they would have probably had him busted or sent to Gitmo. Maybe it is time for the LP to roll out a common sense mainstream agenda that real right-wing Americans can get behind : 1. An Iraq war timetable that calls for the troops withdrawing in 2036 2. A Fair Tax of 30% and reducing the deficit to $250 billion by 2025 3. Legalize medical marijuana for those who have less than 6 weeks to live 4. Work camps for Mexicans and Muslims Throw in a few bonus issues like restoring gun rights for white Christians, allow gay partnerships for men on death row, and allowing warrantless surveillance only when it is reasonable - then the disgruntled Republicans might vote for an LP candidate. But, under no circumstances should libertarians ever attempt to educate voters about the true nature of totalitarian government, taxes, fiat money, the war on terror, or any other radical concepts. A new LP slogan would also be helpful, something like: Give Me Baby Steps Or Give Me Death!

But how about trying it &#38; seeing what happens? There is no proof it won't work either. &#38; You correctly say what the study concludes that the best way to reach these libertarian inclined voters is via positions. I'm proposing quite on my own another possible factor. If offered a third alternative that actually has a reasonable chance of winning, they would switch. Knowing the choice is a losing one is -I submit-a very big factor. Further, I think the leftist vote FOR a leftist candidate is suppressed by a general fear of revolution i.e. that the leftist candidate might actually win(as in say Chile). Hence to swing the green (leftist) vote to the libertarian(progressive) ticket should be possible. The critical factor in keeping this 20% partisan bloc &#38; building a plurality is that. I would suggest a joint press conference to announce green/libertarian cooperation to get this significantly started. You criticize some of my positions as not knee-jerk green OR libertarian hence counterproductive. But they are my positions.
