Oye vey, aye carumba, is this thread seriously discussing the merits of child porn and justifying it via libertarian principles?

Ganja is one thing (you're only hurting yourself,) but kiddie porn?

I wouldn't leave my dog alone with someone who wanted that legalized. Go join NAMBLA if you want to promote such crap.

In a perfect world, we wouldn't need such laws, but this ain't a perfect world, obviously.

The Constitutional Party National Convention is taking place in Kansas City, Missouri, not Pennsylvania.
The party isn't a religious right wing party.
Following the constitution as our forefathers intended is neither "left or right winged."
The basis for the Constitutional Party is simply getting our government back on the track of letting this great Constitution lead us.
Dr. Paul would fit into their way of thinking and doing things perfectly. Everything he stands for they stand for.
They are also the fastest growing party in America. I'd urge any who haven't investigated them to do so.

For Your Information

If anyone is interested, here's a copy of the schedule of events for the 2008 National Presidential Nominating Convention of the Constitution Party. This is the latest news from the Constitution Party as of now.

The LP nomination is far from a lock for Barr. Barr still hasn't even formally announced a candidacy.

I'd say Ruwart was always somewhat of a long-shot in a race where people are looking more to candidates like Barr, Gravel, and Root who bring more media attention to the LP. It could still go to a Kubby or a Ruwart, but it seems less likely. Keep in mind that LP national delegates are not normal voters.

WAR has McCain-like resistance. WAR is seen as more of a moderate then Ruwart anyways. Barr will very likely receive nomination if he decides to run, pending donations received.

I still prefer Kubby, but... meh.

Barr won't get the nomination. He still has the stench of a neocon.
Remember, we are talking about delegates that nominated Badnarik over Aaron Russo and Gary Nolan.
The LP would more likely nominated a hard-line libertarian that tanks over someone who may misrepresent some part of the party platform.
The LP slogan is the "Party of Principle". and its more than just a slogan... the delegates are very principled people.

*shrug* I think there may be a big push toward a moderate - more compromising - nominee, hence all the buzz over WAR.

But then - I haven't been as involved with the LP as I probably should be.

Between Chuck Baldwin and Alan Keyes, I'd vote for Chuck; he's intelligent, charismatic, writes well, and really seems to understand things (granted, he's not a Libertarian at the State level, but he is one at the Federal level), politically....Alan Keyes? Loose cannon at best; he has some Libertarian leanings, but not enough for me to like him.

Let's be honest here... not all of our delegates are principled people.

I have noticed a lot of buzz around Barr on the Ron Paul circuit, but nothing even close to it on the LP circuit. The only other person who voted in my poll here who confirmed he was a delegate to the LP convention was a Barr fan, but plenty of other LP folks who will be attending Denver are not Barr voters. I'd say Mary Ruwart does in fact have huge popularity. I'd probably be supporting her over Kubby if their dates of entrance into the race were reversed, but I more or less jumped on Kubby's bandwagon long before Ruwart, Gravel, or Barr even entered - and Barr still hasn't.
