Just in case, I removed the link. It was commercial spam, not related to the discussion here. Malware or not, I don’t know.

Let me guess, the Wu Yi link is to malware?

Get away or go away? With all what stuff? C’mon, if you want to screw around with people who post to this site, learn the language. Just writing a complete sentence doesn’t mean you are making sense.

Using the presidential percentages in 2008, Texas was the 4th best state for the LP. Only Indiana, Georgia and Utah were more supportive.

In 2004, Texas was the 7th most supportive state for the LP, using the 2004 presidential percentages.

They ran more candidates than any other state, and I’m pretty sure their overall vote totals for (combined) candidates were the highest. So, yes, they have grown in all those categories tremendously.

Pardon me. I just noticed your recent article about Texas.

Has the vote totals for texan candidates increased as well? Memberships? Voting base?

I recommend somebody post something about my favorite state, Texas. Maybe mention how much money the LP Texas raised as posted on their home page: http://lptexas.org/ and then try to track down how much other state parties raised. Reading about Texas always cheers me up. Maybe it has the same affect on others.

Could today be IPR’s first ever without a post? I blame it on open comments!

I could very easily make several posts again, like I have been doing for quite a few days. But I thought it would be time to shut up and let other people talk, especially because I feel like absolute crap. This asthma-bronchitis thing is kicking my ass big time, and nothing seems to make it go away.

I’m going back to the hospital for the third time since this attack started a couple of months ago (I think….can’t remember exactly when anymore) on Jan 8 if I can hold out that long.

There have been lots and lots of days when nobody except me posted anything. I’d go back and check which ones they were, but I don’t feel like it.

I forwarded all the google alerts I get to the group. Nobody wants to anything with them except bitch at me for flooding their inbox? Fine, I won’t do it again.

And lastly, while I am still for the idea of open comments, I am tired of arguing about it, or anything else.

I’m finding it very hard to care about anything right now. So y’all do whatever you would do if I did not exist.

Due to actions on my part in my home state I now [in 2009] more understand the break away the BTP from National Lib and the disaffection of lots of Libs from BobBarr08.

As justifiable as these movements away from Lib Central may have been, be afraid, be very afraid, of the Deform Party disease: splinters of splinters.
