That's the first I've heard of that. Seems like his race is going just fine. Do you have any proof of this? Or you just spewing typical hateful BS, like you pal Gordon just did towards Giuliani and Romney? Peden is in debt? That’s the first I’ve heard of that. Seems like his race is going just fine.

Do you have any proof of this? Or you just spewing typical hateful BS, like you pal Gordon just did towards Giuliani and Romney?

Please don't try to put word in my mouth as you know I am better at the game of word smithing than you could ever hope to be. My retort was aimed at YOU and your desire for Bob to capitalize on his tragedy. Obviously you know little about the man even though you have met him on many occasions. The ends do not justify the means Eric. Honor and decency dictate such. You disappoint me in not knowing the difference. If you believe for one minute that using grief and tragedy is a legitimate tool as a means to gain political traction, you are less the man than I thought. Shame....shame on you. I will never sink to that level and I would never suggest that a candidate that I am advising do so either. There are certain things that we as decent human beings do not engage in. We let the scum bag opportunists stoop to such levels. Sully my honor? Never. Sully my friends honor? I would rather die. That said, if Bob commits to run, I intend on being by his side should he request. As I said.....regardless of the cost. I will not place party before principle. Dr. Paul will make his own decisions. Chris Pedan's campaign is broke and in debt.....I see that hardly as responsible in a fiscal sense. I am actually surprised he is still in the race. Don't make yourself a fool in this. Keep me and Bob out of your bullsh*t spin room. Well Eric….if you look at my response, I didn’t say anything about Romney nor afford any epitaphs in his direction nor any other candidate. Please don’t try to put word in my mouth as you know I am better at the game of word smithing than you could ever hope to be.

In fact, I've been asked to serve as a delegate for one of the other candidates... and if my candidate is successful and wins my district, but then somehow Romney wins the nomination, I will actually make the trip to the convention as a delegate anyway just to cast my one vote for ANYONE else. The man turns me off in a way no other politician has for a VERY long time.

Rudy has Cintra as a client and is getting paid quite well by them . How this cretin is getting a pass on this so far in the campaign defies explanation. Perhaps it's just a matter of time.

Or are mandatory health insurance, deprivation of 2A rights, or campaign finance laws somehow libertarian in your book, too?

Is it at all possible for you and Stephen to ever say a nice word or two about other Republicans such as Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney or Fred Thompson, even at this Christmas season. Do you always have to cuss them, call them "Nazis" and badmouth them at every opportunity? And you wonder why so many real world Republicans hate Libertarians and really hate Ron Paul-bots?

That's quite a development. Is Bob considering jumping in the CD 22 race for the GOP nomination for Congress? Ron Paul is now hinting at a 3rd party run (Newsweek interview). If he switches he'll have to give up his Congressional seat. That means Chris Peden will be a shoe in. Chris and Bob are very, very similar. And ironically, they're practically neighbors in two different parts of Friendswood. (Wouldn't that be wierd - two Congressman from the same town but just on different sides of town in different disticts.) It'd be great if we could elect both Bob Smithers and Chris Peden to Congress. Wow! That’s quite a development.

However, as I came to know the man, I came to realize the ethical principles that drove him during the campaing. He would NEVER capitalize on his tragedy to promote himself to office. For this I can admire and respect him. It is unfortunate that you cannot or that you would even consider doing such a thing for political gain. If you are interested, Bob is now a registered Republican. There may be another race afoot. I can only say that the committee has formed and if you are interested you may contact me. ktunstall@fortbendlp.org. Yes........I will cross party lines to help a friend. I refuse to put party before principle. Regardless of the cost. Well Eric,

Perhaps the best of the campaign season yet. I'm starting to like Mitt more and more, especially now since libetarian Bill Weld endorsed him. My only question is: WHY IN THE HELL DIDN'T BOB SMITHER DO THE SAME THING LAST YEAR??? If he had maybe he would have gotten more than 6%. Fantastic ad!! Perhaps the best of the campaign season yet.

I do greatly respect that he never made a campaign issue of it. I exchanged many e-mails with Bob during the 2006 election about promoting the campaign, etc and he never mentioned it.
