I thought Russell was kidding when he asked that question.

[Russell Kanning]

so is this guy running for vp with some sort of libertarian 3rd party?

Yes, the Libertarian Party.

gotcha
it does seem funny to care about some guy who is not very libertarian ... who is only going to lose in the Fall.

[Russell Kanning]

I thought Russell was kidding when he asked that question.

nope ... I just saw the bob barr name in a homeland stupidity article

[K. Darien Freeheart]

This is Russell's forum and political discussions are banned. Knowing Russell, the only use for politics he has is holding them up as an example of sheer human stupidity. I vaguely recall discussing marching into the State house and declaring himself a King-in-exhile...

I figured he actually didn't know.

[Russell Kanning]

yea ... I haven't spent much time keeping track of the LP ... I didn't even know it existed until I heard some of these crazy free staters talking about it .... and half of them have given up on it since then.

[MengerFan]

I apologize if I started a political thread. It is certainly not my desire to ever discuss politics. Was just trying to help out Gardner.

[Russell Kanning]

I just think it is funny that Gard would have him on the show, now that I know who it is.

[K. Darien Freeheart]

I don't think anyone considers this a political plug. Just because Ian calls a Congress Critter, or Gard interviews a political candidate doesn't mean it's a political topic - they're liberty minded media outlets and I think most of us don't mind hearing about what's happening on them. I didn't bring that "banned" thing up to say the topic was verboten, just to explain why Russell wouldn't why Gard doing the interview is so amusing.

Huh? Libertarian Party? Is this Barr guy running to be the head of all of the libraries?

Anyways, if Ron Paul doesn't win running under the Republican ticket I have no idea how people can even pretend to take a Libertarian Party candidate seriously. Besides, are there even people still claiming membership in that organization? I thought the Libertarian Party was defunct.

They keep asking for money and i keep throwing away their letters, one would hope they'd go bankrupt by now? What's the deal, yo?

[Russell Kanning]

at least they only send letters ... no threats of jailtime
... unless of course ... if they get elected

So true Lex. I feel ya
