libertarian ping for you

I'll take the ping.

[lodwick]

I wish this guy was here in Travis County...

[headsonpikes]

Does this mean he has to become a pot-smoking, blue-skinned hippie?

[freepatriot32]

youve been added to my list

[Types_with_Fist]

Thanks! Happy New Year! And... Long live the Republic!

Fred Campbell decided following the Nov. 2 elections to drop his Republican Party affiliation in favor of the Libertarian Party, saying the GOP has abandoned the idea of minimal government.

You're not fooling anyone Fred. We all know this is really about the pot and the kiddie porn.

[mysterio]

Good. I'm glad he switched. Small government idealists have been marginalized by the Republican party.

We all know this is really about the pot and the kiddie porn.

Please. That's ridiculous. It's about Constitutional government, not NAMBLA and NORMYL.

I don't think this looks good for the Libertarian Party. He should have made the switch prior to the election, or wait till the next election. There is a small ethical question here. But I would not want to see a limitation on an elected official's ability to correct a wrong, once it has risen to such a level of importance.

Well, at least he isn't burning anymore black churches.

He gets elected as a Republican, then immediately changes his party affiliation. Classy, Mr. Jeffords... er, Campbell. BTW, thanks to the Losertarian party, Washington state has a Dem governor. Ideological purity has a steep price.

[MineralMan]

Hey, at least there's one way for a Libertarian to hold an elected office. Getting elected just isn't an option.

[Types_with_Fist]

Ideological purity has a steep price.

I suggest to you that principles are never easy and that the "lesser of two evils" philosophy has a much steeper price.

[goldstategop]

And what does he think of the Libertarians wasting taxpayer dollars in a futile effort to block the inauguration of President Bush next month? Hmmm...

[Kuksool]

The question is will the Libertarian Party provide enough campaign funds for this guy's re-election. He is going to be heavily targeted by both parties come next election.

[Theodore R.]

I'm sorry, but Libertarians are for the most part "pro-choice" on abortion.

I agree that Libertarian Ruth Bennett tilted the outcome of the Washington state governor's race by receiving 63,416 votes.

However, Bennett is a lesbian in an open relationship with another woman, so I really, really doubt thise 63,414 votes were all going to go to Rossi. Or even a majority of them. It's unlikely those Bennett voters were all your typical bearded, Ayn Rand-quotin', dope smokin', wife swappin', gun totin' Libertarian.

IMO it's much more likely that Bennett tilted the race to Rossi for the first two recounts.

Hey, at least there's one way for a Libertarian to hold an elected office. Getting elected just isn't an option.

Republican Congressman Ron Paul, who was the Libertarian presidential candidate in 1988, received 100% of the vote in the Texas 14th Congressional district this November 2.

William F. Buckley is advocating drug legalizaion and there is no military draft nor is there likely to be one. It's a more libertarian (small "l") country than it was when John Hospers first ran for president in 1972.

Patience! Rome wasn't burnt in a day, after all!
