Paul has endorsed Baldwin

Do some of you actually step back and think about what you're saying? Those of you who are railing about some stupid political party, are doing the very same thing that we criticized the Republicans and Democrats for doing. Party loyalists!! Did you forget somewhere along the way, that we don't elect a damn political party to office; we elect an individual? For those who have, I'm not seeing how you are any different at all than the party faithful in the GOP.
 
How will the GOP retaliate? They can't kick Paul off the congressional ballot in Texas for endorsing a non-GOP candidate, can they?
 
I refuse to support Baldwin because he is a theocrat and like Bob Barr desires to continue the war on drugs.

Um.... nope.

Treating what is, at base, a moral, spiritual, and health problem as a matter of federal criminal law has solved nothing. The next president must put politics aside and take a long, hard look at the failure of the federal war on drugs. We must reestablish the primacy of individual choice and state's rights in deciding these issues.

I was disappointed in the actions of the Barr campaign when it pertained to the press conference, asking Ron Paul to be his VP, and then criticizing him. However, these are not issues in the Presidential race. I believe in the Libertarian Party platform, and that is where my vote will go.

Though Dr. Paul endorsing Baldwin over Barr is exactly what Barr and his campaign deserves.

Good luck to both men, they'll need it.
 
Eh...too little too late. I do not believe Ron Paul wrote that release ...he uses too many ghost writers for my taste. He should have done that in the first place and Baldwin might have gotten on more ballots. I have to say...Bob Barr screwed up majorly...but for Ron Paul to endorse at this late date...seems moot. I won't vote for Baldwin or Barr..i am supporting Palin. In the defense of Baldwin though, if he runs for state representative I will gladly campaign for him. I really like the guy and I like that he's a true practicing Christian. I hope he will join the GOP and work with Ron Paul in the House to bring the GOP back to sanity. Tones

So he flip flopped.

Flip flopping is what a candidate does during his campaign to garner votes from two different ideologies. Bob Barr has had a complete shift in his political views since 2006. I think it's safe to say that he has truly reformed.

You are aware that Palin's job will be to preside over the Senate, I assume? Not knocking you in any way, but voting for McCain in the hopes that Palin will take over is not a good policy in my opinion.

Well, buddy, I've been involved in the Libertarian Party for over 10 years.

That right there is yer FIRST problem.

The LP has been promoting a liberty agenda for 30+ years and will (hopefully) continue doing so indefinitely, Barr or no Barr.

That party SOLD OUT.

svf said:
Countless dollars and hours have been expended building up the "libertarian brand", running candidates at all levels of government promoting these ideas, and securing ballot access in spite of restrictive laws and regulations -- all in the name of maximal personal and economic freedom with a "big tent" welcoming approach.

And shitting on Ron was the best MOST ILLUMINATING example of the utter DETERIORATION of the "Libertarian Party" possible. :rolleyes:

svf said:
The LP is FAR from perfect, but they have been and continue to be the best thing going in terms of putting libertarianism in the political arena.

Oh, yeah. After their treatment of Ron, I'm REALLY buying THAT line of horseshit.

svf said:
The Constitution Party, on the other hand, it nothing but a thinly-veiled refuge for religious zealots, Theocrats, homophobes, "moral majority" extremists, and so forth... always has been and likely always will be, Baldwin or no Baldwin.

So? Just because Ron endorsed him doesn't mean I have to vote for him. But Ron's endorsement means that Chuck WILL get some $$ from me. If for no OTHER reason, as my way of pissing all over the beltway Libertarians for how they treated Dr. Paul.

svf said:
It's disheartening that Ron Paul is misleading his flock to follow this truly "fringe" and intolerant party just because Baldwin helped out his campaign and Barr "snubbed" his little press conference.

Note this guy's use of "flock" to refer to Paul supporters, in an effort to dissuade support from Baldwin. :rolleyes: Also note his use of "little" press conference. Shows you that this svf person is another one of the Libertarian ANTI-PAUL and ANTI-FREEDOM self absorbed SUNSHINE PATRIOT types. Don't fall for it.

MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION BASED ON YOUR OWN RESEARCH.

All of the above is of course opinion only but I don't think I'm alone in my disappointment over this. If only I could get my money back from Ron Paul.

Sally, is that you?
