Green Party guy might make a difference in battle between two bad Big Two candidates
Thursday, November 27th, 2008The Green Party is hoping one of their guys has a shot of getting into Congress out of Louisiana’s 2nd district :
The Republican is a Vietnamese American who almost never mentions his party affiliation when campaigning inside New Orleans. The Democrat is disgraced nine-term incumbent William “Dollar Bill†Jefferson, under indictment for bribery after the [...]
2008 Presidential Vote Totals
Sunday, November 16th, 2008Now that most of the hype is over from the election, I thought it would be prudent to point out some to the vote totals for those Presidential candidates that suffered from a media blackout. In the table below I have listed all the candidates that had the mathematical possibility of winning the election [...]
Turns out Bob Barr may be a huge problem for the GOP family
Sunday, June 8th, 2008Via The Washington Times:
Tom DeLay will vote for John McCain but the former House Republican leader said his wife, Christine, is planning to vote for Libertarian presidential nominee Bob Barr.
“I’m trying to convince my wife not to do that,” the Texas Republican told editors and reporters at The Washington Times on Friday. “She said [...]
Instapundit suggests GOP has outlived its usefulness
Tuesday, June 19th, 2007Professor Glenn Reynolds says he wants a party that combines “GOP economic-libertarian strands with the Dems’ social-libertarian strands.” I want a party that does that too, but that pays attention to immigration issues, doesn’t blame America for what’s wrong with the world and recognizes that there are times you fight back, even if you have [...]
Libertarians abandoning ‘open borders’
Tuesday, June 19th, 2007Does this count as initiating force?
Libertarian Greg Graziani isn’t worried about being politically correct.
His campaign commercial for the state [South Carolina] Senate District 46 seat is a testament to that. It features him tackling a young man on Folly Field Beach.
Not a big deal if he was playing football or rugby.
But the commercial implies Graziani [...]
Ron Paul explains himself
Tuesday, June 19th, 2007My mind isn’t quite made up about Ron Paul, the libertarian-minded fellow who’s running for the Republican nomination. He’s stronger on border security than most libertarians, which I like, but he’s also one of the folks who tends to blame America’s “alliances” on the War on Terror. I think that’s bullshit, since American is the [...]
Got a cold? Too bad
Friday, December 30th, 2005Illinois is sinking further and further into nanny-statism. Not only must common cold remedies be locked up, customers have to show ID to buy any. Can’t risk the possibility of of people using it to make meth.
The message in the media is, of course, that all law-abiding citizens should just bend over and take it.
Despite [...]
‘Fluffers for the Executive Branch’
Wednesday, December 28th, 2005Damn you Matt Welch. I wish I wrote like this. I wish I thought like this:
There’s a thin, dangerous line between “we must be doing something right” and “we must not be doing anything wrong.” Or more relevantly, between that an “we may be doing some things wrong, but that doesn’t matter, because we’re doing [...]
Loving the Bill of Rights isn’t treason
Wednesday, December 28th, 2005One of the worst evils being perpetrated by Bush apologists has been to spread the idea that anyone who disagrees with or disapproves of anything coming out of the White House is somehow disloyal or reckless. Brad Spangler says:
An example of one of those brainwashing tricks is the continuous debate over what the right [...]
