Mike Munger and Bob Barr and the Libertarian party impact on 2008 elections
2008-07-18 08:10:00 Libertarian party impact on 2008 elections Here is a link www.enctoday.comJuly 17, 2008 - 10:34PM Barry Smith Staff Writer RALEIGH - Libertarian Party candidates likely won't win the presidency or the governor's race this year. But they could be a player in helping determine who will reside in the White House and the Executive Mansion. The State Board of Elections Web page shows that out of the 5.8 million registered voters in the state, only 293 are affiliated with the Libertarian Party. The number will likely grow since the Libertarians have only been a recognized party for a few weeks. They'd been recognized in the past but recently had to go through the cumbersome petition process to regain ballot access. Now that they're on the ballot, there's some sense that their presence could have an effect on a couple of races. In recent decades, the numbers of independent voters have increased. In North Carolina, independents are registered as "unaffiliated." Nearly 1.3 mill...
Bob Barr, Born Again Libertarian
2008-06-07 06:35:00 I never really looked into this guy the Libertarians are running but after seeing him on Colbert I have to say I’m really disappointed. After checking out his Wikipedia page the only part I liked was his reversal on medical marijuana. But even with this he isn’t really saying that you have a right to medicate ...

An idiot's strategy to influence other idiots
2008-05-30 23:48:00 "I have some doubts: this sort of half-witted public relations maneuver has occurred more than once in the party's shabby internal history, and is perfectly capable of standing on its own, as yet another example of the suit-and-tie clique?whose unspoken motto has always been "respectability above everything, especially including principle"?looking to suck up to whatever they perceive as the Establishment. I doubt they're smart enough to hatch this as a power play." read more

Libertarian Party Provides McCain With Strong Conservative Opposition
2008-05-26 18:39:00 As I reported yesterday Bob Barr overcame considerable opposition by some Libertarian Party members to the non-libertarian candidates running to win the nomination on the sixth ballot. Barr spent much of the convention apologizing for his past votes such as for the Patriot Act. He won the nomination on the sixth ballot after Wayne Allyn ...

2008-05-25 23:12:00 The vote at the Libertarian Party convention in Denver is going into a sixth ballot, with Bob Barr looking like the most likely winner. Although there has been vocal opposition to candidates with questionable libertarian beliefs winning the nomination, it appears that the conservatives at the convention do hold a slight majority. The candidate receiving ...

Libertarian Party convention
2008-05-25 22:41:00 I hesitate to write about this here because, in truth, I don't do other parties very often. There are few enough places to find news about the Green Party as it is without having to share that space with other parties.Even so, the Libertarians have much in common in terms of policy with the Greens. Often I think we come at things from different directions to reach similar goals, but one cannot deny that the differences between Greens and Libertarians are substantial.If the Green Party had rules as loose as the Libertarians apparently are, who knows who may have popped up at the last moment to ask for our nomination. I can imagine that Senator Gravel might have come to us if he had thought he had any chance at all. Similarly, at some point in the future, there may be a Democrat or Republican doing well enough to jump ship early on and make better than 5% on election day. For example, if Edwards had left the Democratic Party just after Super Tuesday and brought his campaign staf...
Libertarian Party Convention Party
2008-05-25 19:26:00 This is the weekend of the Libertarian Convention. It is being held in Denver at the Downtown Sheridan Hotel. 1000 delegats, most of whom are bikers who are required to bring at least one computer geek with them will decide to nominate Bob Barr as their Presidential Candidate. If you remember, Bob Barr was the loudest and most obnoxious of the Impeachment House Managers. He had begun impeachment proceedures well before both the Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky issues were known. At the time Barr was going through his second divorce and was caught licking whipped cream off of strippers breasts. Bob Barr is also famous as the Georgia DA who threw the most people in jail for the longest periods of time for the least reason! Backing such a person for President is only a small part of the reason the party is kindly called the Looneytarian Party. But mostly Barr is famous for being the top NRA wonk in America. You can bet the delegates are armed and armed well.On the basement floor of the...
Libertarian Party Race Features Close Battle Between Front Runners, Bob Bar
2008-05-25 18:35:00 Despite Lack Of Press Coverage, Former Democratic Presidential Candidate, Mike Gravel, Hasn’t Gone Away In the early stages of the Democratic race debacle, I made no secret of the fact I favored former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel despite the fact he never stood a chance against the likes of Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. Perhaps, it could have had something to do with the fact I was raised in the Great State of Alaska, or more likely; his liberal libertarian (small “L” at the time; now a big one) leanings. I liked the guy when he made that strange YouTube video of him staring into the camera lens by the side of Lake Otis (? — it appeared to me) for a very long moment, then suddenly tossing a boulder into the lake and strolling angrily away — his protest against Washington, D.C. Then, I REALLY liked the guy when he was the only Democrat amongst many at the time, in the entire debate who had the guts and integrity to proudly raise his hand when the mod...

Libertarian Party Holds Convention This Week to Pick Presidential Candidate
2008-05-22 15:21:00 Bob Barr, Mike Gravel and Wayne Allen Root are just a few of the candidates being voted on this weekend in Denver at the Libertarian National Convention, where the candidate with the majority of the votes will be the presidential candidate for the party: A warrior in the battle to impeach Bill Clinton, a former Democratic senator and a Las Vegas oddsmaker are among those seeking the Libertarian presidential nomination in Denver this weekend. Some say that the party could have an impact in this election, particularly if former U.S. Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga., wins its nomination. The Libertarian National Convention begins today at the Sheraton Denver Hotel. Almost 1,000 delegates are expected to attend and on Sunday pick a candidate for president from a slate of 14. They will also choose a vice president. {Source: Denver Post} Will any of these candidates make a difference in November: Columnist George Will sees Barr causing trouble for McCain. “Come November, Barr conceivably coul...

Fellow Libertarians,My name is Mark Schreiber, Campaign Manager for Wayne Allyn Root. I hope you are enjoying the LP Presidential race so far. There are many good candidates from whom to choose. As a former statewide and city council candidate (from Indiana) I can tell you I've never seen anyone as effective at getting our Libertarian message out as Wayne Allyn Root. I only wish that Wayne could have campaigned with me when I ran for office. Luckily many of our local and statewide candidates across the USA will have that opportunity in 2008. Wayne is truly amazing. I hope you will choose to support Wayne as our LP Presidential candidate. &nb...

Former Democratic presidential hopeful bolts for Libertarian Party
2008-03-26 23:51:00 One-time Democratic presidential hopeful Mike Gravel announced Wednesday Libertarian" href="http://politicalticker.bl-ogs.cnn.com/2008/03/26/former-d-emocratic-presidential-hopeful--bolts-for-libertarian-party/">h-e is abandoning his political party and will run for the White House as a Libertarian. Gravel, a former senator whose presidential campaign was never taken seriously by most political observers, made the proclamation in a message posted on his Web site. ?The fact is, the Democratic Party today is no longer the party of FDR,? Gravel said. ?It is a party that continues to sustain war, the military-industrial complex and imperialism ? all of which I find anathema to my views.? Well he's from the Democratic party, so he should be used to surrendering by now. :) But is he really "Libertarian" material? Here's a list of his accomplishments from ontheissues.org and frankly, I don't see it. But it's a very damning thing to see one of your own defect to another party. E...
Presidential Candidate Switches to Libertarian Party
2008-03-26 15:59:00 Surprisingly, it's not Ron Paul who's switched parties. Firstread is reporting that Mike Gravel has changed his party registration from Democratic to Libertarian and plans to continue his longshot campaign by pursuing the Libertarian Party's nomination. I admit I wasn't paying a lot of attention to Gravel during his early appearances at debates (he was dropped from most invite lists well before the Iowa caucuses) but he never struck me as being a candidate for joining the Libertarian Party.Original post blogged on b2evolution.

Libertarian Party Sends Its Condolences to the Republican Party
2008-02-11 21:48:00 With the rise of John McCain as the front runner, and the only other candidate in the race being Mike Huckabee, the Libertarian Party felt condolences were in order. So they sent a wreath of flowers to the RNC, expressing their sympathy on the apparent “death of small-government principles within” the party: The wreath was hand-delivered to the D.C. offices of the Republican National Committee. “We simply felt the need to express our heartfelt sympathy for the Republican Party as they undergo this tough time within their party,” says Libertarian Party National Media Coordinator Andrew Davis, who delivered the wreath. “Given that it has become readily apparent that Senator McCain will soon be the presidential nominee for the Republican Party,” reads a card that accompanied the wreath addressed to RNC Chairman Mike Duncan, “we, the staff of the Libertarian National Committee, send our condolences to you upon the death of small-government p...
