[HollywoodInvestigator.com] John Clifton, a Navy submarine veteran and Chair of the Libertarian Party of New York (LPNY), has called for an end to martial law occupation of Iraq, and a no-timetable withdrawal of military forces from the region. He rejects the compromise idea of a timetable proposed by his own party's national organization.
He has also issued an 'open invitation' to activist Cindy Sheehan, a mother whose son died in the war last year, to consider running as a peace candidate against Hillary Clinton in the 2006 U.S. Senate race.
"The invasion remains unjustified, so the subsequent occupation has no underlying moral basis," said Clifton. "Thus, neither does a phased withdrawal. If no one can answer Sheehan's question, then there's no 'noble cause' for which American troops or Iraqi civilians should be dying right now, period." Mr. Clifton has invited Sheehan to join others vying for the Libertarian nomination when the party holds its state convention next April. He discounts the "we broke it, we must fix it" rationale offered in support of occupation, pointing to the construction of over a dozen permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq, which he says clearly shows the deployment is anything but temporary.

I knew there was a good reason to change my self imposed status from "conservative libertarian" to "independent conservative".
This might laed to some interesting blood letting among the Beast's following. Cool!
I was wondering why Cindy Sheehan was focusing solely on Hillary Clinton when she was not the only Dem to give a yes vote for the war. Cindy was asked and probably is going to agree to this way before she started attacking Clinton. She's preparing to run against her. I said a while ago don't be surprised if Cindy MEEE ONLY MEEE HAN tries to run for office.
It would be fun to watch that. Even I would enjoy watching Hillary smash Cindy!
Pretty sickning to even consider either of these bitches getting any air time as POTUS contenders.
Just thinking about either one of these losers almost mortally wounds me.
You think the people of New York would get tired of not being represented by someone from New York. (Cindy's from California right?)
Outer space is my guess.

more like goofy against the terminator
I would enjoy watching the Terminator smashing Donald Duck. But then again, I saw Doom today, so I guess I'm like that.
You know, I was just wondering why no one takes the Libertarian Party seriously. Then along comes this article.
Thank you.
Im fron the hell hole of NY. I need to move....
