Dashole or Lott, either way we lose freedom regardless which party is leading the charge

Can you believe it? They're actually trying to convince us that it makes a difference who is bending us over and screwing us. "But the GOP uses better Vaseline!" they cry.

BOHICA!

[Wolfie]

Its easy to believe once you cast off the mistaken belief that they want liberty at all. They just want a tyranny to their liking.

[alpowolf]

They remind me of the character Squealer in Animal Farm, explaining why the pigs are stealing all the milk and apples. "If we don't, Farmer Jones will come back. Surely you don't want Farmer Jones back!"

[Dane]

Vote for Freedom! Vote for America! Vote Libertarian in 2002! Bring back Liberty!

Hey I will be generous and give Mr. Stanley 5% of the vote. What did you accomplish other than a feel good vote, while Daschle smirks from his Senate Majority leader's office.

[alpowolf]

Yes. And posting their totalitarian rants on a site called Free Republic is just their way of adding insult to injury.

[fod]

wow, what a sad and sorry state of affairs, when someone argues that one must vote for a person because of the letter next to his name, and not personal merit.

your arguement smacks of "shut up and get back in line, or *gasp* we'll lose the majority!"

Is it especially funny when those RINOs help make up a liberal majority, but dane's dreams will be pleasent as long as we pay lip service to rights and freedom and have more (R)s than (D)s...

Even if those (R)s act more like (D)s.

[SusanUSA]

Bump to your reply!
I, for one, am thoroughly sick of having the big wheels of the two(ha!)parties crushing the advance of anyone else! Let the people decide! Open up the debates and let US chose, coronaries or no! They say (and I have as well) it begins at the local level. But even there, the non-partisan voting set up makes any real headway almost, if not definitely, impossible.

And NOW I'm late! See ya.

BillofRights, PING!

[LibertyRocks]

I don't get it. Either the Libertarian Party is a weak party with no effect on politics, or they're the reason why Republicans lose elections. I wish they'd pick one and stick with it.

Gee, I don't get it either. Most people understand that there is a reason one loses elections. And it's not cause the other candidate is a Libertarian - it's cause they are a rotten candidate. If they were doing they're job they wouldn't have anything to worry about.

But, as we have seen for decades now, the Republicans and Democrats are doing a really crappy job. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are in tatters, but I guess we should just keep voting for the same traitors we always have, huh?

Don't come looking for me when the Republicans approve the gun confiscation bill that's coming sooner or later... People like you who are blinded by the facts that your party has sold you out, are the reason we are in this mess in the first place.

Didn't you notice when Ashcroft said that defending the constitution only helps terrorists? How is our government supposed to function with a nut like this Attorney General? And Bush is the one who wanted him in there? How do you explain that?

Wake up! Our country is going to hell in a hand basket, and Republicans AND Democrats are equally responsible. (As you can see by the 50-50 division). Without our Constitution and Bill of Rights we are but slaves. Your beloved Republicans are doing nothing to stop this from happening.

Vote Libertarian - for REAL AMERICANS WHO VALUE FREEDOM and a CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT!

[fod]

they sound like Affirmative Action proponents---

There MUST be a quota for (R)s!

[Dane]

Gee, I don't get it either. Most people understand that there is a reason one loses elections. And it's not cause the other candidate is a Libertarian - it's cause they are a rotten candidate. If they were doing they're job they wouldn't have anything to worry about.

Well gee it seesm that Libertarians are masters at running rotten candidates in national offices. Gee tell me a Libertarian who has got more than 5% of the vote in a Senate race.

You all can't see the forest for the trees. LOL! People who have never won a national office telling other people how to win elections.

[Eagle Eye]

I've NEVER seen you two say a word against gun control or the gungrabbers. In my book, your silent consent puts you right there with Sara Brady and Rosie O'Donnel.

I've also never seen you two say a word that indicates that you support and encourage otheres to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

Where EXACTLY do you stand on this issue?

[Eagle Eye]

If Libertarians are so small and insignificant, why do you devote so much of your time opposing Libertarians?

Have you ever considered that your life is being spent on something that you insist is small and insignificant? That pretty much makes your life's work small and insignificant.

[Sandy]

Stanley & Co. are looking for an OJ Simpson type jury. You know the mantra of "jury nullification".

Nonsense. The whole point is to get convicted. Otherwise, there's nothing to appeal. I don't normally say this, but--man--you sure are stoopid.

[Benson_Carter]

please, spare me. every day you set new standards for stupidity on this forum, and every day more and more people call you on that stupidity.

do you know nothing about the trial-by-jury system? maybe you should read up on why Thomas Jefferson thought it is the final check and balance in our 3 part system of checks and balances. the elites can write the laws, the elites can sign the laws, and the elites can "declare" them Constitutional, but if it doesn't pass the public smell test, then it's no good. that's what's so great about trial by jury. I would hate for you to have to be in a situation of a jury trial where you need 12 of your peers to say that the man you killed breaking into your house was in self defense, so that you would not get convicted of some charge like manslaughter.

I, unlike you, would not care if a card carrying member of the Communist Party USA got arrested to help protect MY right to keep and bear arms. this man has done more to protect that right that YOU BOTH enjoy than ANYONE you've voted for in the past 15 years, I'd wager.

you make it abundantly clear, day by day and post by post, that you are no friend of Freedom, Liberty, the Constitution, or States Rights. you consistantly, and somewhat succesfully, shirk and shunt any meaningful debate.

you, like so many others here, have nothing of any real substance or value to add to any discussions that take place; instead trolling for any thread containing the word "libertarian" or any thread where people espouse ideals of individual Liberty and Freedom, baiting them and engaging in petty flame wars.

it's funny that you act like your opinions and your words are an absolute truth, when simple fact and reason will prove otherwise.

[Dane]

I've also never seen you two say a word that indicates that you support and encourage otheres to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

Where EXACTLY do you stand on this issue?

I am very pro-second amendment, but I don't think the "in your face" antics as being demonstrated here are going to help.

Like it or not these type of antics turn off more voters, than turn them on. And it is easy for the press to paint this guy as a gun nut.

But hey you all are on a "crusade" and you are "right" and everybody else is a Fascist.

You catch more flies with honey than vineger.

[alpowolf]

You all can't see the forest for the trees

That's good coming from someone blind enough to think there is a difference in the two "major" parties.

The "difference" you claim is really nothing but a falling out amongst thieves, quarreling over their stolen loot. They both believe in robbery. For our own good of course.

[Dane]

If Libertarians are so small and insignificant, why do you devote so much of your time opposing Libertarians?

Have you ever considered that your life is being spent on something that you insist is small and insignificant? That pretty much makes your life's work small and insignificant

A 1% margin in the Colorado Senate race can give the demo the win and keep Dashcle as Senate Majority leader. If you think that is insignificant, that's your problem.
