Who would you prefer to win LP nomination?

[torchbearer]

Can somebody explain to me again how Mike Gravel can consider himself a Libertarian?

He registered Libertarian. He went on CNN and said he was Libertarian. Fox News told me he was Libertarian. What other proof do you need? /sarcasm

 

[Cowlesy]

That first guy... didn't he coin a term off of his name Jingoism?

*shrugs*

Maybe?

Kent for Liberty!

It's his right, so long as Libertarians protect it.

*shrug* He needs to change his name if he wants to be considered.

 

[Cowlesy]

"Although I am no longer actively campaigning, I can still be the write-in Presidential candidate for Anarchists and Radical Libertarians."

Really Cowlesy? That's incredibly unexpected from you, I always thought of you as a moderate Minarchist.

Hah!

Well, I keep my opinions on the Libertarian Party and its impact on anything/everything close to the vest.

I hope they continue to grow!

I've seen youtube videos of that Jingozian guy talking about Jingoism.
Am I crazy? Has anyone else heard of this phrase?

I think Gravel thinks because he was on CNN and was involved in the 70s in some things he automatically ranks above people who are spot on in terms of principles.

Though I like Gravel's intensity on foreign policy. "More libertarian than Ron Paul"? Yeah...

I'd accept Gravel as the nominee, but he isn't my top choices.

 

[JosephTheLibertarian]

I'd accept Mike Gravel. He would be good for pr. I hate the LP being viewed as "Republican lite"

I think Chuck Baldwin should go for the nomination and win. He's pretty much a Ron Paul clone. I haven't found anything they disagree politically on yet.

CP nomination not enough?

 

[nate895]

No, not really. The CP and LP teamed can be a potent force. They'd probably be on every state's ballot and the combined money of their previous Presidential Runs was nearly 2 million dollars and the LP got 1 vote for every $2.75 spent. If we could combine them, and harness some of the RP energy, we could make a splash.

I voted for the first guy, but I'd rather vote for Kent McManigal (www.kentforliberty.com)

I like that guy a lot. He was at the Pittsburgh rally where I met you...

He's even worse than that... imagine sitting at a table full of people trying to enjoy a nice drink with his annoying blathering of crap and backstabbing and bullshit for 4 hours.
He's like the guy at the party that everyone is wishing would just go away. You're freaking out the chicks man. kinda thing.
Weird Uncle Fester kind guy.

Oh, the things I could add to this but won't.

He registered Libertarian. He went on CNN and said he was Libertarian. Fox News told me he was Libertarian. What other proof do you need? /sarcasm

He's more libertarian than Root, that's for sure.

Hah!

At this point, I think it's probably silly not to work for liberty in both the LP and the GOP except in states where the LP is not worthwhile or the GOP is wholly unfriendly.

Why not just nominate whomever the LP picks in the CP? The LP is bigger than the CP.

How about a GP/CP/LP coalition? left/right/center coalition i'll call it

 

[mdh]

How exactly is CP right and LP center? The CP and LP are both 'up'.

Re-evaluate your nolan chart, man.

That's kind of irrelevant. CP people believe in imposng moral wills on others, while the LP is more "up" than "center," but it's still "center" imo.

Yeah, I've debunked you on that point previously.

This guy is the epitomy of fringe. The picture on the homepage cracks me up.

I don't know what you are talking about.
Appearances ?
The guy looks normal to me.

All the same guy on different days.
Appearances can be deceptive, and should not be used to judge character.
