I can't stop laughing about this convention. I don't know why.

I agree with that. People who would vote for Gravel or Barr are not libertarians.

I think Barr is more Libertarian than some of the party faithfuls! Gravel is a self pronounced socialist who supports big government and believes in democracy...aka mob rule. Jingo came out for Gravel, Phillies more on that end of the spectrum...Barr is by far the best choice.

I love the guy in the V mask. He cracks me up.

For sure Gravel, but why do you say that about Barr? Isn't there a BIG difference between a Libertarian and a libertarian?

The Libertarians sure know how to party...

Root got the most from New Jersey and New York.

 

[mysticgeek]

no ND delegates??? WTF

 

[rockandrollsouls]

Why is ruwart getting so many votes...all she does is pander to Ron Paul supporters..she can't speak, she thinks taxes and fees are effective..wtf

I agree with that. People who would vote for Gravel or Barr are not libertarians.

The people that vote for Barr may not be Libertarians but they very well may be libertarians. You have pro-liberty/small government libertarians. This group makes up about 30% of the country including Bob Barr. You also extremist fanatics that make up much of the Libertarian Party and represent less than 1% of the country.

You idea of leadership, government and politics must be just to keep beating people over the head telling them they are wrong and you are right or you can work on finding common ground and pursue that agenda.

any website have a running total?

 

[rockandrollsouls]

Wow...with Gravel getting so many votes from party DELEGATES it makes me not like the party....what is going on here. He is against everything the party stands for!

 

[majinkoola]

No way Gravel could get a majority...there's just no way.

 

[rockandrollsouls]

No way Gravel could get a majority...there's just no way.

He's getting more votes than he should be. I don't believe this...and Ruwart who has supported fees and a form of taxes under the name of other fees...I don't get this at all. Sorry for all you Ruwart lovers, but she has supported fees.

 

[rajibo]

Why is Root getting so many votes. He seems like such a shyster to me.

 

[Bradley in DC]

I agree with that. People who would vote for Gravel or Barr are not libertarians.

Right, the members of the Libertarian National Committee aren't Libertarians.
