You just disagree with him on global warming. Of course, you also disagree with fact, reality and science on global warming, and I'm glad to see Kubby in agreement with all three, but disagreement per se does not constitute an "attack." In any case, Kubby's solution to a problem that you don't believe exists happens to be the same solution that you -- and he -- advocate for every other problem that the two of you <em>do</em> agree exists ... more freedom, less government. Global warming or not, it's time to get the government out of the business of propping up the petroleum industry with taxpayer dollars. Global warming or not, it's time to get the government out of the business of simultaneously subsidizing the agriculture sector and hobbling that sector's potential for producing better energy on the free market. Global warming or not, it's time to make America's national defense non-reliant a long energy supply chain running across potentially unfriendly seas and to potentially unfriendly sources. Wes,

In any case, Kubby’s solution to a problem that you don’t believe exists happens to be the same solution that you—and he—advocate for every other problem that the two of you do agree exists … more freedom, less government.

He "declared his candidacy for president" months ago, then in an interview with Michelle Shinghal said that no, he wasn't a candidate and wouldn't decide whether or not to run until this fall.

But that doesn't make Dennis Kucinich, for example, "more libertarian" than Wayne Root. I agree that no one who supports the Iraq War should be nominated for president under the LP banner.

It's almost to the point where he cannot win the nomination based solely on his support for the Iraq War. The problem with Root is his stance on the war.

That means Root, Jingozian, and Imperato have all joined the party this year. I'm not sure if I will support someone who just decided now to join the party. It sure smells like they're just going after whichever party has the most ballot access. Hess, Phillies, and Kubby are established Libertarians. I'm not sure about the rest of the field.

Right now we're skeptical not only because he isn't 100% in line, but he's new to the party and already trying to be the standard bearer--while NOT being 100% pure (or even close). A solid gubernatorial campaign would have earned him some leeway. WAR should have run for Nevada governor first.

Imperato has shown he is running a paper campaign, has no real support, and isn’t even really an ideological Libertarian.

Kind of like WAR, come to think of it…

Imperato has shown he is running a paper campaign, has no real support, and isn’t even really an ideological Libertarian.
