I think your failure to see may be beyond the corrective power of any lenses I have or could order, so you shall have to remain sightless.

What does your opinion of Wrights have to do with the way he is being removed from LNC? ”

What does Wrights’ opinion (and that of his partner-in-crime Sean Haugh) have to do with removal of petitioner-contractors?

Petitioners can be blacklisted permanently because Wrights/Haugh THINKS they MIGHT have done something, yet Wrights can’t be removed because Wrights/Haugh DEFINITELY did something?

Ok, I see your logic. Not.

Entirely possible; especially if Mr. Wrights rebuffed Mr. Starr’s romantic overtures

Language that has changed significantly since april 8 of this year. How surprising.

By checking this box “I acknowledge that contributions from corporations and foreign nationals are prohibited. I also acknowledge that this contribution is made on a personal credit or debit card for which I have the legal obligation to pay, and is made neither on a corporate or business entity card nor on the card of another.”

I recall similar wording on Ron Pauls 2008 site and the DNC site says “The funds I am donating are not being provided to me by another person or entity for the purpose of making this contribution.”

One can only conclude that unless Mr. Haugh has recently married Mr. Wrights, in which case they might have a checking account for which Mr. Haugh and Mr. Wrights have a joint “legal obligation to pay,” that it certainly appears that Sean (knowingly) violated the intent of the FEC regulation (as a Libertarian I am not much for following the rules or paying my taxes, but please remember it was the FEC that put the Reformed Party out of business so it is best to adhere to the rules as much as possible until we can change them).

Therefor, Mr. Starr’s actions in returning the funds donated by Mr. Haugh, appear appropriate since he must do so once he is “aware” that the LNC received funds contributed by one individual (who does not have a shared obligation) in the name of another or on behalf of another.

So folks, please let us move on and concentrate on getting more people, from all sides of the spectrum, into the LP at all levels, so we can save this country. In other words stop fighting amoung ourselves and let’s forcus our attention on where it really belongs!

In Liberty,

SHOW YOURSELF!

Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend your tender sensibilities.

Are you saying you didn’t organize those holocaust denial conferences the Washington Pravda says you did?

Are you saying that you weren’t once involved with the National Policy Institute, which once listed you as a media relations person?

Did you in 2005, or do you now deny the holocaust? Which holocaust, too — after all, socialists in the twentieth century racked up quite a bloody record.

It isn’t clear to me how a holocaust denier could be a libertarian.

Show me a “liberal” libertarian who denies the commies have sent somewhere between 45 to 100 million people to early graves in the past 100 years, and I would ask the same questions.

If one blue-collar working stiff like me asking what sweeping genocide under the rug has to do with libertarianism leaves you so disturbed that you’re ready to run away and cry, then yes, you should go sit next to Jeff Frederick of the Virginia GOP or Kirk Sullivan of the Idaho GOP. Then you can commiserate with them about how much better Republiboobs treat their own, compared to those nasty Libertarians.

By the way, I meant to ask:

I was briefly a registered Libertarian and tried to become an activist

When was that, precisely? Has anyone outside of the now-discredited Barr campaign office staff ever heard of you?

the shock and awe insider bickering and ego trips chased me away very quickly.

And of course the corollary question: When was that, exactly?

I’m just interested in the time lag between when you “tried” to become an activist, and when you were “chased” away.

Oh, and did your criticism of others who were busy actually being activists (vs your “trying to become an activist”) chase them away?

Libertarians, however, have made such human foibles a science.

Unlike the Republicans surrounding Frederick and Sullivan?

John is correct. All those rules on LNC doing business, the policy manual, are LNC resolutions, e.g., to insert in paragraph N a sentence “…”. That’s what the policy manual is, a compendium of the resolutions the LNC chose to store.

George

Ask your regional rep for a copy and you’ll see what I mean.

First, the Policy Manual is just a compendium of LNC resolutions and actions. It can change at any time. Second, the LNC has NEVER followed any of it’s policy manuals to the letter. Furthermore. the LNC has never followed the LP Bylaws to the letter.

No document can insure “good governance” (dare I use that term), if a majority of the LNC is set against it and the minority on the LNC gives up without an all out fight.

“They came for the ……, but I did nothing because I’m not a …. et cetera, et cetera.”

At this point, if the national LP were to represent itself as anything else, it would be committing fraud.
