Libertarian Convention haha

The Libertarian convention is on right now on CSPAN. It's pretty entertaining.


Hoping Bob Barr wins. Yay for ticket-splitting on the right in November.

1. Mike Gravel is also running for the Libertarian nominee.

[New Dawn]

2. It is incredibly close.

Barr might not win. It is up in the air.

3. Is that the one where everybody goes to a different hotel

and then try to have a conference call?

10. good one!

4. I like their position on things like the war on cannabis but some of them just downright scare me

They would all repeal gun laws like the automatic gun ban
They would all repeal the Endangered Species Act which would lead to the slaughter of animals that are on the verge of being gone in America.

Hopefully they will take the Republicans down this year and show them that their evangelical pandering and their belief that they should run our lives is WRONG.

5. Where are the black libertarians?

Seriously, what a bunch of sour, cheerless people. It also looks like no girls allowed. The American sociopath white peoples party.

7. What about Barr?

[cbc5g]

8. thats not true

They are for equal rights for everyone , they arent racists but they are fringe and a lot of the things they would do would seriously harm a lot of people, animals, and the environment.

9. All of the self described Libertarians I know

are racist, war loving, social program hating assholes to whom altruism is an alien concept. I know all of them are not like that but I would like to see the reaction if someone were to stand up and defend affirmative action.

12. Barr will take votes from John McCain.

He is trying to appeal to conservatives. That is why he is popular here at DU, lol.

[NightWatcher]

6. and there are dozens in attendance

[New Dawn]

11. It looks like Barr is going to win after all. McCain is grinding his teeth (as usual)!

[femmocrat]

13. Really annoying... it has been on most of the weekend.

I was hoping to see something (anything!) else on Road to the White House tonight.
