“I guess that explains why he has been listed on the Advocates for Self-Government List of “Celebrity Libertarians” for the past 8 years”

...but I think I accidentally deleted it or something.

What? That simply isn’t true. To this day, Root is listed under the “Friends of Libertarianism” section (see here). To quote: “(Celebrities who have not publicly declared themselves libertarian, but who have said good things about libertarians or libertarianism.)”

This isn’t really accurate, seeing as Root started calling himself a Libertarian a while back, so perhaps The Advocates just can’t bring themselves to call him a Libertarian, eh?

...and can anyone even imagine how many people dunder0-head has poisoned as to ‘libertarianism’...imagine this stoooooooopid and/or evil fuck ‘collecting signatures’ and skunk-pissing on ‘Libertarianism’ day after fucking day!..

...and don’t any of you gd republicrat fools find it odd that with all the decent, knowledgeable, etc. people who call themselves ‘libertarian’..the ones who tend to get most/all ‘the press’ (lately..we were almost totally ignored prior) tend to be the worst fucking idiot republicrats among us?

..tell me sabotage isn’t rife in ‘the LP inc.’

Ruwart, Paul, Kwiatkowski, Browne, Badnarik, others? You’ve smeared so many Libertarians as “Leftists.”

The fact that these Libertarians had a lot more cred than a tiny “blurb in LP News” and being one of many names listed at Advocates for Self-Government didn’t prevent you from calling them “Leftists” and worse.

Yet we’re supposed to overlook Root’s very recent endorsement of McCain/Lieberman, his Republican Millionaire book, his embrace of the conservative label on talk radio, simply because LP News blurbed him once.

Do I sense a double standard? A simple blurb and listing makes Root a “longtime Libertarian,” whereas decades-long LP activism doesn’t make one a true Libertarian if one opposes US foreign wars?

Not only that, he should get started on that libertarian reality series he claimed he would get on the air (fat chance!).

And Alan Hacker wasn’t making fun of computer programmers in 2006, when he managed Badnarik’s promising Congressional campaign in Texas to a disappointing 4% finish after squandering his early fundraising success ($400K plus) on just about everything except voter outreach or advertising.

Michael Seebeck: Quit buying your Romanian built spell checkers at the swap meet! ——-Don ‘Not a Libertarian’ Lake

LOL! Sorry, Don, that was no spell checker mistake, just bad proofreading. It happens.

Hey, Thomas, if the LP Chair works for the state chairs, then let’s have the state chairs be the exclusive electors of the LP Chair. (I’m not being sarcastic here, I really think it’s a reasonable idea!)

Sorry Stefan, didn’t you hear? W.A.R. and Barr are newly converted Libertarians. This means that they now understand the libertarian/conservative principle that a criminal has a PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY to his victims. Hence, the first claimants on W.A.R.’s scamdicapper millions are the Iraq War survivors and refugees who were the victims of W.A.R.’s surging support for war prior to W.A.R.’s Libertarian conversion.

And if there is anything left to W.A.R.’s estate after he pays for his responsibility to Iraq war victims, I would certainly vote to attach it as compensation for damages to Agent Barr’s drug war victims if I was on a civil jury.

For fundraising, it looks like the LP will have to stick to libertarian saints with no blood on their hands, or maybe some unrepentant authoritarian sinners will throw them some money.

Please buy your Barr merchandise at www.bobbarr2008.com a portion of the money will go to fund the campaign. We need to make Barr’s name visible, place your bumper stickers.

Not me. It takes a serious ego to campaign for presidency/vice presidency.

I really don’t have a problem with people coming “out of nowhere” to lead this party, because our desultory performance lo’ these many years really doesn’t lead me to believe we’d be giving up anything of value in the process anyway.

In any case, David Tomlin is right. Its common knowledge that, in the American political system. the Presidential nominee of a party becomes its de facto leader. For example, at the height of Reagan’s or Clinton’s popularity, they obviously could have had anyone in their parties fired, up to and including the Chair.
