					<description>I had the pleasure of several conversations with Mr. Jacobs over the convention, and I can truly say he is a genuinely nice guy, the complete opposite of his stage persona.  During one point when we were getting our picture taken together, the man with my camera said he couldn't get a focus.  I told him he has his finger over the lens.  Mr. Jacobs cracked up over that.

He (and Morely) had a distinct advantage for this one:  WWE RAW was just down the street at the Pepsi Center Monday, and the ECW tapings were just down the road in Colorado Springs on Tuesday, so missing a couple of house shows was no big deal.

To say he stuck out would be an understatement, but he didn't try to be imposing on anyone or deliberately conspicuous, even with people staring at him as he walked by, this big bald mass of a person wearing a 3X pink dress shirt and hauling enough luggage to overload some airlines.  On the floor he was along the wall with the Tennessee delegation, attentively listening and actively voting.

Glad to have a guy like this aboard!</description>

					<description>The luck of convention seating put me next to him during most of the floor sessions, and I don't follow professional wrestling.

When I first saw him, I thought he looked like a wrestler, but I didn't know him from Adam, and I figured if he's not a wrestler, he would be tired of hearing that he looks like one, so I didn't mention it.  A few people approached him and brought it up, but the conversation didn't stay on that topic for long.

We mostly talked politics, as well as some economics and related subjects.  I discovered that he's pretty knowledgeable, quite pleasant to talk to, and to the extent that I'm qualified to judge, well above average in intelligence.  He'd probably make a great candidate.

I'm pleased to say that he's a strong counter-example to any dumb-jock stereotype, and I believe him when he hints at esoteric talk in the locker room.  Remember that professional wrestlers are primarily entertainers, i.e. actors who are also big and strong.  They may need to be smarter than average athletes.</description>

					<description>I agree with Kane. Although the &quot;main&quot; contenders for the white house seem to have solid footing campaign wise, none of them, since the Primaries got underway, have actually touched on the items of discussion that I really need to see change. 

Eminent domain, the rising cost of wheat~despite the fact that the US is one of the biggest suppliers of wheat, the degraded school system, the sham that is foster care, the rise of medical costs with the drop in patient care and coverage, the 9 trillion dollar deficet, war vets losing their privilages such as housing and medical aid, the mortgage crisis, the big brother rule credit agencies have, these are only a handful of topics that I need to see covered by candidates prior to my visit to the polls, and it's refreshing to see that a wrestler I have grown up with shares such sound views with me.

If there ever came a day in which Kane would run for office, I would most likely vote for him, as we need more readers in the system.</description>

					<description>Stefan, I did plan to go to Denver, but like Robert Milnes, financial difficulties prevented me. Although I must say that my personal life and situation is a lot better off than Milnes's, as I am one of the top students at my school and am on track to get a real job with the Obama campaign this summer. I would love to see an Obama-Paul ticket and a McCain-Clinton ticket, and have in fact brought that idea up here before.</description>

					<description>DrBozo - I am sorry to burst your naive bubble, but labels are just that: labels.  Everybody labels literally everything something.  Those that get offended are truly the &quot;9 year olds&quot;; very insecure with themselves.  

If you call me a fag, for example, I won't be offended (I'm gay).  If I call you a fag (assuming you are straight), you would have to be pretty insecure with your sexuality to take offense.

Want a tissue?</description>

					<description>&lt;i&gt;Yes. aka: deform caucus, retard caucus, GOP caucus, Republican caucus, Democrat caucus, Barr caucus, Gravel caucus etc, etc…&lt;/i&gt;


I'm sure the other side is glad to have an intelligent person like yourself representing their interests. Engaging in 9 year old namecalling and the inability to hold an honest discussion. You represent your side well.</description>

Weigel works for a neocon rag, his orders are to marginalize the LP.</description>

					<description>Sean Morley, known to wrestling fans by his stage name &quot;Val Venis&quot;, made a speaking appearance this weekend also.  He's known for having published a libertarian newsletter at some point, and filming ads for Barry Hess' run in Arizona a few years back.</description>

					<description>Weigel needs to study up a bit more on the LP.

The NPR story isn't much better than the CSPAN interview
last night.

&quot;State of Nature?&quot;   That's real clear.   

I think we have a significant Constitutionalist faction now.
They don't believe all taxes are theft.</description>

					<description>CT why did you not go to Denver to propagate your idea, after all you can then be prepared for the DNC, that will also be in Denver in August. Would you not propagate an Obama-Paul ticket? I guess we can have a McCain-Clinton one then
also: now that would be an interesting race and alliances, I guarantee you!</description>

					<description>Did Glenn bring his pyro effects with him. Maybe that would be what set of the fire alarm during the business session on Friday. ;)

Y'know, it's pretty sad when this is the first comment that actually has something to do with the article.  Please keep the trolling to relevant posts only.</description>

					<description>Stefan, there is an American Monarchist Party, look it up on Wikipedia. There was also a Feudalist posting about a decade ago on the Internet, though he has disappeared now.

I don't expect my alliance strategy to actually come into being, but I had hoped that by posting it enough times, it would generate enough interest to have someone bring it up at the libertarian convention. However, I guess that's as likely to happen as the convention stopping its business to pray for Ted Kennedy, as they should. That is, not very likely.</description>
