You’ve worked at LPHQ, write or have written for several of the top libertarian and alternative party blogs, are a published author, and the equivalent of a state officer in your local party; I’d say that qualifies.

Which gambling business?

As of Q1 09, “W Technologies” — which lists Root as CEO — reported assets of $43,000 and debts in excess of $1.5 million.

The company did sell a bunch of its assets last year. If Wayne made “a lot of money” on that deal, the stockholders — who are far into negative equity and who will, according to the company’s own statements, likely never see a dime — might be interested in how that happened.

His gambling business didn’t fail either, you yerk, Sipos. He sold it for a lot of money.

As far as Milnes, he’s running for President in his mind and is just anti-Wayne because he thinks his candle is brighter.

Okay, that’s your theory. As I said, it’s an unproven theory. You buy it, I don’t.

That’s an unproven theory.

And I don’t buy it.

The GOP is real politics, full of Big Boys. With Big Money stakes. You can’t just join and be a candidate for office.

If you’re nobody off the streets, you start at the bottom, and must wait your turn before you get the chance to run for serious office. If it ever comes.

And Root is impatient. He wants to start as “leader.”

It’s much easier for anyone to make their mark in a small pond. In the LP, it’s almost impossible not to have a title if you stick around even a few years.

I’ve held several LP titles that were shoved on me simply because the party has a surfeit of titles, and not enough activists to fill them.

The late Dave Larkin (former Los Angeles County chair) told me he merely wanted to hang out at meetings, but because he did so, he was eventually elected to titled LP positions that he didn’t even want. He accepted them out of a sense of duty.

You want a title, or a chance to run for Congress or Assembly in the LP? Step right up, plenty of titles and candidacies to go around.

You want a title or candidacy in the GOP or the Dems? Much harder to get. They’re far bigger ponds, with far larger fish.

LG, your notion that Root could have joined the GOP and quickly rocketed to political stardom is baseless.

The man in the mirror?

if you want to bring Wayne down why not do better instead of pointing fingers?

oh wait…

WTW _____ Good point.

Milnes ____ you are making my argument that he could be a government agent.

WTW ______ Jealous?
