Awww… where’s Imperato or Milnes? I could use a good laugh.

Wow! That was excellent. Good job Libertarian Party of Missouri. Very nice presentation. Like the way they introduced the candidates.
Every one of the candidates on stage looked credible.
Gravel looked like he had gravitas. He definitely came across Presidential.
Root – my guy – just has such a natural speaking ability.
I was surprised by Christian Smith. She’s getting better.
Mary Ruwart – whom I don’t support at all – was very poised, though a bit soft spoken.
Very positive image overall for the Libertarian Party. Not a single goofball on the stage. And that’s saying a lot from former LP Presidential debates.
I say KEEP THE GOOFBALLS OFF THE STAGE! The LP is in the big leagues now, and cannot afford knucklehead third string candidates mucking things up for the TV cameras.

Who are the goofballs?
I won’t say on this very public forum. Scewz me for a sec. Got a frog in my throat…
Ahem, ahem (Daniel Imperato), Cough, cough (Rober Milnes), Hachoo! (Bob Jackson), Cough, Ahem, Cough, Cough (Dave Holist)

Anybody who is interested in my campaign not failing should get with it (support) asap or the Gillis’ & Donderos will have their way & not have me to kick around anymore.

Skyler McKinley, listened to me about the lackluster quality of the videotaping at LP/NJPA, did you?
April 7th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
Robert,
Unlike some of the other campaigns for the Libertarian nomination (I don’t know much about you or yours, so this isn’t a reference to you,) our campaign has professional staffmembers.
I have years of experience in video filming and editing, so I’ll tell you this: the quality of the footage is as good as it could be at that venue.

All the candidates were great. My main quelms are with Gravel’s healthcare position and Root, Phillies, and Jingo’s immigration position.
April 7th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Skyler, I don’t think you answered my question.
April 7th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
LOL @ the notion of Milnes having a “professional staff.” He needs to be in a PLACE with a professional staff—i.e. a psycho ward.
April 7th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
What, no Milnes? You have to invite the nutcases in order for these things to be entertaining enough to watch.
April 7th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
G.E., I was. The best the Federal Bureau of Prisons has to offer: FCI Butner, North Carolina. Are you saying they failed to “cure” me?
April 8th, 2008 at 12:49 am
Robert,
The footage is incredibly high quality, not because of your suggestion, but because we have a professional staff of campaigners.
April 8th, 2008 at 1:23 am
Skyler, do you agree that the videotape quality at LP/NJPA was lackluster, so to speak?
April 8th, 2008 at 5:29 am
Milnes, dude, for someone who spews so much political science ‘fiction’ one would think that you could read and comprehend the English language…

Milnes Ala Nixon. Pathetic.

IT SUCKED, YOU SUCKED…Let it go…
April 8th, 2008 at 6:39 am
Root, Phillies, Ruwart…yes.
Smith, Gravel, Jingozian…no.
Root on Tort reform: “HRC, BHO, JE they’re lawyers, they’re the problem.” Sweet.
April 8th, 2008 at 6:44 am
Phillies; “I teach rocket science in the morning, and the hard stuff in the afternoon.” A nerd with a sense of humor, what more can we ask for ladies and gentleman?
April 8th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
i enjoyed the debate very much. Gravel by far seemed the most presidential. I really liked his experience and Jingozians focus. I think they will make a great team on the national scale
April 8th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Dave Williams, I notice that all the candidates had their own microphone, unlike as I noted LP/NJPA. But I’m sure it is Skyler’s professionalism having nothing to do with my comments.
April 8th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
News flash Milnes, this video SUCKED too…

When it comes down to it, I would vote for any of these people (maybe even Barr included) vs. McCain vs. Clinton/Obama. Then again, maybe I’m just feeling gracious cuz it’s my birthday and I’m hella drunk! (And on TPW at 3:50 AM, which shows what a winner I am).
April 10th, 2008 at 2:52 am
I would rather suck Milnes Dick then read one more post from Dave Molestor Williams.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
I’m a Gravel supporter and I think he was excellent as usual. I thought Ruwart, Jingozian and Phillies had some good things to say, too, even though I didn’t agree with their views on everything. Smith and Root were just a little too much for me overall.
