So start your own party, there's still time.  Get it on the ballot in the "Free State" at least, hell, nominate Ian & Mark!

At least that would make some strategic sense, and would pull the LP closer to idealism in 2012...

Not voting is surrender.

Not voting is not surrender. It's simply not voting.

Ian is a Rothschild. Which is the big secret.

still going to write in Ron Paul, and it's still going to mean more than if I could vote 100 times for Barr.

Fuck Barr.  Fuck the LP. . . they're just stupid fucking neocons now.

We shouldn't let "perfect" become the enemy of "good".

Bob Barr is good when compared to Obama and McCain.  That's all he's for, to hurt those assholes, so by badmouthing him you are only helping them!

If you want to pursue political perfection (oxymoron?), we need to run an uncompromising protest candidate of our own...

So vote for less bad in order to stop the greater bad?  That's a good little republicrat saying.

I personally am not seeking perfection, but Bob Barr fails to meet even the basic standards.  Why should I vote for Bob Barr, and let the party bigwigs think someone like Bob Barr is what I want?  A vote for Bob Barr will only strengthen the thinking people like him.  No thanks.

I know what Obama is. . . a fucking socialist. . . . he says so everytime he opens his mouth.

I know what McCain is. . .a dipshit neo-con who tries way too hard to straddle the fence

I know that Barr was a conservative, and still is on some issues.  I know the libertarian party is run by conservatives now.  I know I won't be voting for his bitch ass.

Yeah, well, I've already explained this many times on many threads.  I've done my part to try to stimulate a constructive more-libertarian-than-the-LP political movement, but it looks like the idealists are only interested in getting high and jerking off.  So looks like Bob Barr is the most libertarian candidate this country will have in November.  Don't like reality - kill yourself.

As the title of this thread suggests, this thread started out very skeptically, and you know I've supported Mary Ruwart's campaign, even though I saw it as very poorly planned, disorganized, and detached from reality from day one.  Now that Bob Barr has the LP nomination, time has come for all rational freedom fighters to support his campaign.

This thread will be continued in a new thread titled...
