LFV is back up. There will be no more problems. Sorry we can't help the problems caused by previous (lack of) management. Please post again.</description>

					<description>Mr. Milnes:

I can easily use the email search feature and find the email in question.  If I decide to start process of interviewing all of the candidates again, you can be sure I will immediately continue the interview with you, and will not skip over you.

If you wish for me to email to someone else your responses so said other person can take up the mantle of interviewing all the candidates, I can probably do that for you.

It's just that right now, I don't have the heart to start interviewing candidates.  Perhaps I will after finals.

Yours,
Alex Peak</description>

					<description>Steve Kubby was wise to stay in the race. He might be the unity candidate. . . If his broke ass can make it to Denver.</description>

					<description>&quot;Nominating someone who can’t communicate clearly her views on child pornography speaks for itself.&quot;

Yes, I agree. I've been researching this controversy the last few hours, where is Mary Ruwarts explanation?</description>

					<description>Politics1.com reports that I have asked Ruwart to withdraw from the race over the foofaraw on a segment of her book.

This report is in error.  I made no such request.  

politics1 has a long record of reasonably careful reporting.  I have no information on what led them to make this statement, but it's incorrect.  I have notified them that the report was in error.</description>

					<description>Robert, when will I hear from you about the Fringe Alliance Strategy?

Gene, I agree with you. and in fact, it is most likely that the Libertarian Party will not be nominating anyone for president this year, as I will be attending the LP convention and expounding on the Fringe Alliance strategy. This will undoubtedly change the discussion of the convention and convince the majority of the delegates that the Fringe alliance strategy is the most important one to be working on. I do support the Constitution Party having a nominee, as it steals Republican votes and helps Obama.

Here is my Fringe Alliance Strategy temporary program posted again.

I have developed a strategy based on an alliance between the Green, libertarian
and constitution parties, the various socialist movements and centrist independents, Kucinich Democrats, Ron Paul Republicans, and other smaller groups such as fascists, feudalists, monarchists and syndicalists, to initiate the following goals.

1. The electoral college is abolished.
2. The presidential election uses a national Majo		rity Runoff system. This will change us from a republic to a democracy.
3. Congress is elected through proportional representation.

Third parties should spend most of their energies pushing for these constitutional amendments, using graphic protests in public locations. Otherwise, the
efforts of all of them are doomed to do nothing more than push the major parties slightly in one direction, and ruin the chances of the parties that their
candidates are most closely aligned with, while gaining such small failing numbers for themselves. The people who visit this site are by definitions on
the fringes of society. It is important for the fringe to get together. This strategy is gaining the support of many political scientists across the nation,
and I will continue to post it several times a week here until it is adopted. Fortunately, we have the Obama Revolution to save our country for now.
The revolution will be televised.
Please pray for the pope and please pray for Barack Obama. Amen.</description>

					<description>For the record, I would have no problem voting for Dr. Phillies if he is our candidate.  My preference for Kubby is based primarily on their positions.

Mr. Milnes:

I have ceased, at least for now, the idea of interviewing the various candidates.  I got extremely discouraged when LFV suddenly disappeared.  ENM was able to salvage some of my posts from the blog, but a lot of good ones appear to be lost forever.  My apologies to you.

					<description>I continually see people attacking LP candidates for not always having had perfectly Libertarian beliefs from birth. To those that make these criticisms, have none of your beliefs ever changed over the course of your life?

People are too eager to criticize rather than to encourage and praise.</description>

					<description>If Bob Barr is the nominee, there is no doubt his past votes will be brought up and thoroughly examined. He has to reconcile his past with his current positions somehow. If he cannot do that soon it seems unlikely his campaign will get past the convention, if in fact it ever takes off at all. It takes a real politician to form an exploratory committee six weeks before the selection of a nominee. Maybe he could just throw caution to the wind and announce he is considering the possibility of seeking the LP presidential nomination, maybe. 

Mr. Peak,

I think Mr. Kubby would be a fine nominee, and I have also seen a big improvement in George Phillies' presentation over the past couple years. Either one would be good in my opinion. There are a number of good options this year for a presidential nominee, so it should be interesting.</description>

					<description>For whatever it's worth, I think I would vote for Kubby, Phillies, Ruwart, or Smith in November if one of them is the nominee.  I am not sure about Barr, Jingozian, or Root.  I have a hard time imagining myself voting for Gravel.</description>

					<description>My reason for opposing Barr is not his past votes, but rather his &lt;a href=&quot;http://tiger.towson.edu/~apeak1/writtenwork/thoughtpieces/bobbarrlibertarian.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;recent comments and current positions&lt;/a&gt;.

Mr. Robertson:

I mean no offence to Phillies by saying this, but I definitely think Kubby is a better candidate than Phillies.
