Born Again Bob Barr Borat

On the floor of the 2008 LPCon when Barr was nominated, there was a lot of emotion and some contention between the contrast of long time activists Libertarian choices for President and the recent slate of 'newcomers' to the race.

Candidates like Dr. Mary Ruwart, Professor George Phillies, Steve Kubby, W.A. Root among others in the 'libertarian-o-meter' were compared in contrast to some long standing nationally known figures Bob Barr and Mike Gravel, who have long and considerable records serving in Washington DC who have, or had, some positions that Libertarians vehemently oppose.

In the end, Barr was considered by the majority to hold the most potential for media coverage and ability to run a strong and well organized campaign.

Many say this is an attempt to run a 'right' leaning campaign instead of a more centrist campaign in order to appeal to the McCain weakness on conservative issues.

At this point my answer to that is, 'Well, Duh!!!"

The task now is to keep Born Again Barr soaking in 'Liberty's Brine' so that he continues to redeem himself (as he states he wishes to do) and to keep working on other campaigns in each individual state.

More to come. . .

FOX: Fair and Balanced??? No!!!

I am truly amazed at the blatant ignoring of Ron Paul ignoring of Ron Paul coming in second place in Nevada.

I swear, if Ron Paul won a state they would only cover who came in second.

The Pulp of Why So Many Adore Ron Paul

Maybe this is why RP took second in Nevada???



Notice how flippant the others and even the hosts treat this guy.

Ron Paul: A True Underdog Story

TV ad #2 for RP

Four Titanics, One Iceberg

Here is an article I wanted to post about Ron Paul's current upswell of support including the online donation of over a million dollars from people all over the country.

Blackwater Brings Iraqi Govt Limitations to Light

The CNN article link is below and the video is here and an (additional video link is here)-


None of these Blackwater supporters would stand for an outside army to come into America and act as we do in Iraq. Clearly, if a private army of Iraqi soldiers were in America, and they shot randomly into a crowd of people the American government would take them and without habeas corpus hold them, try them, and enforce the law.

So now an American troop of private soldiers in Iraq has shot and killed many non-combatant civilians (all of this captured on video) and the Iraqi government has no authority to respond to this other than to revoke their ability to work in Iraq.

How has the U.S. made the Iraqi government so impotent as to be unable to enforce the law in their own land?

Also, tragically this is not just a Bush administration issue, this type of action has gone on since Clinton and before. Watch the video. I was disappointed to find out how long this thread of abuse has been going on with American taxpayers footing the bill.


Here is the article.

And this article is about how Blackwater focused on cost, not safety of the soldiers. This is why privatizing the military in a corrupted system like ours is not a good idea.

Vote Ron Paul

Amazing candidate, amazing compilation

I do not deny that there are a few issues where I disagree with Ron Paul, but where it counts, and on about 95% of the other issues I think he is right on.

He deserves a fair review and all the support anyone that respects the Constitution can give.

Best Wishes to you RP,

Who Endorses RP?!?

fox distorts again, putting words into Dr. No's mouth

How to piss off Scott

As someone who has stood behind countless third party candidates of all stripes I know how hard it is to get bodies down to an event to rally support for a low budget candidate.

I recall going to the Guthrie-Cantwell-McGavick debates and there were a TON of Cantwellian supporters and McGavickian supporters all standing on the four corners of one particular intersection outside of the KING~TV studios.

They chanted at each other across the street, 'six more years' over and over, taking breaks to breath after a while of chanting (collective breath takers?) and I happened to be walking right up to them and starting yelling 'six more war, six more wars, six more wars*'.

And after everyone looked around at me with a 'gasp'.

One lady standing near me boldly said, "But we don't want anymore war."

With a warm smile I replied, "I don't either, and that is why I'm voting for Bruce Guthrie."

So here is the EXACT opposite situation. Ron Paul finally gets a large grassroots following to come out and scream his name with passion and love, and look at how ABC portrays the event.

NO WONDER HE IS NOT HIGH IN THE POLLS!!!


HE DOES NOT EXIST!!!


Peace, for the love of God peace,

Scott~


*Honeslty folks, Maria voted for the war and the Bush agenda and Mike was hard core pro Iraq war, so I could not lose.

More debate recaps you ask??? Okay!!!

Ron Paul Visits Google

He has more views than Hillary (scroll to bottom of this page to see how his numbers compare to hers) in a fraction of the time. His support team on the net is growing like wildfire and I am truly amazed.

I respect his message, I respect his solid voting record, and I respect all of those out there that have reached down and supported this guy as he puts the best platform of any (R) and (D) candidate.

Thanks for watching,

Ron Paul Visits Google HQ

Ron Paul made a visit to the main headquarters of google on his campaign trail for President of the United States of America.

A brief review of the visit is here in the article. I wonder why journalists have to include so much of the 'he does not have a chance, but take a minute to humour him.' type attitude when covering someone who is not in the top two of the polls.

Take a read for yourself and comment your thoughts.

Go Ron Go,

What a bumpy road

Nowhere in the Polls, but Everywhere on the net

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2003751285_paul17.html

It has been since the Ross Perot campaign many years ago that I personally got a glimpse of alternative candidates and party structures.

The Reform Party and the Libertarian Party were touted as representing the Constitutional ideals I had been taught in school. Yet the leading papers and politicians often scoffed at or just outright (I first misspelled that as 'pout'right) ignored these alternative or third party candidates. Sometimes I am glad that third party candidates are ignored because quite frankly they do not have it altogether. But this does not excuse the total disregard for what anyone should consider a valid or legitimate campaign.

So all of that aside, forgetting any personal bias of desire for complete coverage, could you hold a 'scientific' poll and include candidates that are not yet declared and exclude candidates that are not only in the race, but getting quite a bit of online buzz?

The LA times has done so and a few others as well.

Here is a video of some polls and ideas being ignored. Tell if you think these are ideas the public of the United states are not interested in!

Subject: Where's Ron Paul?

Dear Editor,
Pollster, or whomever it may concern,
I recently saw your Republican Primary poll and noticed a glaring omission: Ron Paul was not one of the choices. You listed Fred Thompson (who is not even officially running) but you decide to omit Dr. Paul? You also listed Huckabee who, according to the FEC, has raised less money than Paul in the first quarter of 2007. I have a simple question for you: Why did you do this? Was it just a mistake? If you can give me a satisfactory answer and launch another poll with Paul's name then I will be content. Otherwise, I am prepared to boycott your newspaper because of your unfair coverage of the election. Thank you and have a nice day.

Sincerely,
Regan A

The GOP would be wise to listen to Ron Paul's message

Opinion/Editorial article in the Seattle Times

"Two-thirds of Americans can now see that starting a war in Iraq was a mistake. The majority of Republicans still do not see it. Eventually they will, but it's hard to go against their own president unless one of their own makes them do it.

That may be the usefulness of Rep. Ron Paul. There is no way this libertarian medical doctor from Texas is going to win the Republican nomination. His strict noninterventionist policy is too radical a change for Republicans. But on foreign policy the Republican Party could use a dose of criticism that gets to the root of things, and that is what Paul has to offer."

Ron Paul in the lead, but not really

The thing that is truly amazing about these videos are the fact that the commentators from major news media admittedly spin the results and the words of Ron Paul.

So it is not in the realm of FOX reality that the audience connected with the one candidate that was brave enough to take the original (R) party line instead of the lock step neo-con party line that the other nine candidates took.
