Libertarian National Convention

Why is Ruwart an "extremist"?

Other than her pro-amnesty position, which cancels her out from consideration of course. But what other extreme positions does she have?

she's the purist's candidate. in the LP there are three kinds of candidates

purists: Ruwart

reformers/moderates: Barr

and whackos: Imperato

child pornography = should be legal if children are consenting. people will beat her up over that.

she was talking of course of post-puberty children.

so basically age of consent.

but still.

Really? Then why do the Arizonans keep on re-electing McAmnesty? He won their primary too.

Because they're sheep and he's a really famous guy. Of course he'll continue to get elected. Answer why there is bipartisan support for the law punishing businesses who hire illegals. Answer why there is so much support for Arpaio shipping the illegals back to Mexico.

I've lived in Arizona for 21 years. The state wants something done about illegal immigration, PERIOD.

Yes, Why do they?

It'll be interesting if McCain picks Lieberman or Huckabee as his Veep, and Obama picks either Hagel or Richardson. I think a Barr/Root ticket would have a decent chance of capturing 5% of the votes.

Maybe a lot of Senior citizens have fallen into the trap. "I guess I've got to vote for someone I think can win against those dems..." As they go down the list, the only one they really know, or heard about, is their Senator. "OK, I'll vote McAmnesty."

Other than her pro-amnesty position...

She is? Bye bye Mary.

Someone please move the camera away from that screaming baby.

 

[majinkoola]

Look at how McCain did in the Arizona straw poll. Not well. Conservatives who know his record don't like him.

 

[WRellim]

Did I miss the final vote? Or did the LP leaders just throw up their hands after Root's speech? (Why count the votes... you know "formalities" and "waste of time" and all that stupid procedural stuff).

 

[Fields]

Barr smoked her. hahahhaahha

The state would probably prefer the entire country bear more of the burden whether or not the borders are secured.

 

[fr33domfightr]

Barr won!!!!

Is that a Libertarian thing?

 

[alaric]

It's official: Bob Barr gets the nom after Root threw his support behind Bob.

 

[DrSpock]

This will most likely be a great benefit to the CP.
