Ron Paul Following Libertarian Party Founding Father Murray Rothbard's Vision

[RockEnds]

What ticks me off, I've been spending months trying convince Ron Paul supporters to not do a useless write-in and vote for Barr.
Many were beginning to agree, but now- ha, good luck selling that.

One good thing though, The guys in Louisiana knew the needed electors to vote for Ron, and we got them now.
Our meeting on Sept 20th will have all the top activist in the state.
Members of the central committee of the LALP - including chair
Members of the central committee of the LACP
State Coordinator and Asst. Coordinator of Louisiana for the Campaign for liberty (along with some district reps)
Members of Dems, GOP, Reform, Green, and indies will be present also.
Delegations from all parts of the state, from all parties...
First meeting of its type. And (stroke my own ego ) I was instrumental in putting it together.

We're all frustrated. I'm probably going to cast one of those useless write-in votes. And I'm really pissed at Barr. But I'm more pissed at the GOP, Washington DC in general, the fact that my son is 150 miles away from Iran STILL and TPTB think the military is at their unaccountable disposal. Oh, I have a whole list. I wish there were someone I could feel good about campaigning for. There really isn't. I hope we can all find someone or something to band together and support--soon.

I hate... i mean, really hate to say this to you, after knowing your position with your son... but we've already lost 2008. matters not who we vote for...
All we can hope for... is to send a message by having a ton of non-republicrat votes.
The media will be watching this year because of Ron.
Whatever you do, make sure your vote is valid. That is all I ask people now.
Don't write-in unless you know for a fact, that it will be a legal vote that is counted. (though in presidential races, i don't see how it could be counted)

A lot of the argument for voting for Barr was to consolidate the voting numbers into one candidacy. Nader is your guy if that is your sole motive. I am voting for Baldwin.

Oh, I know. I'm not sure there was ever a way to win. But hopefully, enough people have gained enough experience in the political process that maybe we might be a little smarter as a group.

Sorry, I can't support banning pornography. This violates property rights.

Life is tough, isn't it.

Ah. Just what I thought. You're not a libertarian. Thought so!

Lol wuuuut?

It will take more than that...
We need to all make a commitment to work our precincts.
You can do this however you wish, but the campaign for liberty website will be launching october 1st a precinct leadership program that will provide list and tools to help us do this...
If we don't take the time to work our precinct, we will never win.

No, I've said time and again you can criticize whoever you want, but don't think you have a right to impose your will on my and other LP members "property" by believing you have an obligation and right to change our ticket.

Who is storming the LP with guns ablazing to change the ticket? A petition is a method of persuasion. It is not a .50 cal. Browning Automatic Rifle. Is it? I didn't see DHS having to set up a defensive perimiter when speciallyblend petitioned the G.O.P., did you? And I didn't hear you complaining about that petition, either.

Are you going to report me, too? Please be sure to try to bring Authority down on all Dissent--no need to stop now...

The libertarians on this forum drove me away from the Libertarian party. If pornography, drugs and gambling are your prime concerns...eh...that's not the party for me. Did Ron Paul say in his speech that we now live in an IMMORAL SOCIETY...and the politicians are IMMORAL...yes, he did. Even though I like many of the Libertarian stances, such as individual sovereignty, self governance, Limited government, humble foreign policy, sound money...it just seems to attract Immoral people who flock to the LP because THEY consider PORN, ATHEISM (actually an acidic HATE for Christians/Christianity,) GAMBLING and DRUGS to be the true issues of the LP. So, I now consider myself a libertarian / conservative...and guess I will attach myself to NO political party. I'm voting Palin because I like her. Tones

[acptulsa]

I'm voting Palin because I like her. Tones

No, actually you're threatening to vote for McCain because you like Palin. Not the same thing.

Now, tell me this. Do you really think getting off to porn and hating Christianity are worse than lighting off immoral wars and stealing from the populace? Don't overreact and do something your conscience won't approve of later, please.

Just making the request because I like you.
