So now defense of the Second Amendment is foolish. Can I qoute you on that?

Don't put words in my mouth, please. You libertoonians are supposed to be against such things.

What, exactly, did Rick do that was so bad?

Rick Stanley has acted like a wild-eyed idiot throughout his campaign. He comes across as a lunatic -- even in his own press releases. As a result, anything that Rick Stanley is for, is automatically tainted by the fact that it's supported by an idiot.

And for an issue like guns, where a lot of people are either agnostic or predisposed against RKBA, people like Rick Stanley simply push them farther away. After all, who wants whackjobs like that carrying guns?

As for Dr. Paul: he runs as a Republican. Enough said.

Yep, advocating for personal responsibility and freedom is just such an incredibly childish thing to do.

The way you guys do it, it is childish.

"The Colorado Libertarian Party is considering kicking its U.S. Senate candidate, Rick Stanley, off the Nov. 5 ballot."

I noticed you failed to answer the RKBA question, so I'll ask it again: What did Rick do that was bad enough to arrest him? If the BOR does not apply to the States, then those same States could re-institute Slavery. If the BOR does apply to the States, then why was Rick arrested for holstering a pistol? Or is this one of those things where a Right only goes as far as the reigning political party says it does?

Once again, I see you completely failed to provide a direct reference, but only give "one persons opinion". Which, it has been pointed out to me in the past, is worth it weight in the electrons it is being displayed with.

Yes. And Republicans have done ever so much to change that trend haven't they? Bush doesn't seem to know which side of the issue to come down on. On one hand, he has Ashcroft send a well-meaning letter to the NRA, on the other... he was against arming pilots. Consistant you guys are not.

As for Dr. Paul: he runs as a Republican. Enough said.

To get elected, he needed the backing of a major political party. His votes are consistant with libertarian philosophy. "By their works, shall ye know them."

The way you guys do it, it is childish.

The way you guys do it, in another forty years, we'll be little better off than Soviet Russia.
