Now I used to be a staunch Libertarian. Secty/Treas of my local club in Illinois (Rockford) for 3 years. When the Libs pussied out post 9/11 I left the Party. Now I’m a hard core Palin supporter until some one better on the R side comes along. I’d like to see Gary Johnson. Maybe a Johnson/Palin ticket or a Palin/Johnson.

Hello there,

Wade Hoek
former staff for Governor Sarah Palin
former staff for State of Alaska, Commissioner of the Department of Natural

*Now I realize it didn’t post. I wasn’t logged into the site.

If she is interested in Libertarianism and making nice with the LP in Alaska, I suggest we give Dondero and the others some credit for the efforts. I hope he continues to reach out and share Libertarian perspectives with people in the GOP. His sites connect to the LP, the LIO, CATO and more, which about cover the gamut for people who wish to learn more.

Without saying I’m happy with everything, at the last Convention we saw two semi-retired professional politicians vying for the USLP nomination, along with respected activists. The only thing wrong with that Convention is that the LNC dropped the ball in missing the opportunity of having Jesse Ventura there, which rivals Crane’s team’s screw-up of having Reagan appear at one of our Conventions IMO. I hope we see such interests from politicians as a regular thing in future conventions, 3 or 4 from conservative to progressive backgrounds at least. I also hope they use their campaigns as launching pads for libertarian-direction initiatives as Barr and Gravel did in direct democracy and drug legalization, or publicity blitzes like WAR, even if he seems a bit shaky.

However, I doubt it would matter if George Washington suddenly appears and is nominated. What I feel many of the LP “factions” forget is that we won’t advance beyond certain numbers in Presidential elections until we see more pledged Libertarians, Libertarian activists working in coalitions with e.g. Greens and community groups, and Libertarians in local appointive and elective office on the local level, along with plenty of Libertarian-oriented less government “market” Liberals. These are growing, but must grow more.

“You know, you all here brutally bash me every day for defending Palin and other libertarians in the GOP.”

Palin is one of your “libertarian Republicans” ?

Come clean for once, what is your definitino of libertarian?

Dondi, what are you talking about?

I never said an endorsement from you was the kiss of death, one way or another.

Nor did I ever say that you didn’t recruit Root.

You must work on your reading comprehension.

Something along those lines would be in order.”

If Dondero is serious enough to demand that Mr. Sipos apologizes for his statement to say that he (meaning Mr. Sipos) did not imply or state that Dondero recruited Wayne Allyn Root for the nomination, then, as a former Libertarian myself, he’s, to use an old cannabis adage, “pipe dreaming” to say the least.

Mr. Sipos did say that Dondero recruited Root for the LP presidential nomination, but then again, he didn’t have to. Root does tacitly and implicitly imply in his book (which I do *HAVE* a copy) on page XV that Dondero (via his Libertarian Republican blog) was the reason for getting him “started on his long journey.” He solely credit Dondero for getting him on the LP presidential train by making that statement.

So what if Sipos did make that statement? Dondero has been known for recruiting Root into the LP presidential race for the sheer purpose of sabotaging the LP and its chances to win the presidential election (even though it didn’t have a chance to win it EVEN if Steve Kubby or Mary Ruwart were going to win). And, according to many reports that had come out of the Bob Barr campaign for months before and after the election, it’s not a surprise that the Barr campaign was a huge flop. His numbers, while slightly higher than Harry Browne’s old numbers in 2000, were somewhat smaller than Badnarik.

Point of fact, folks, Barr did worse — FAR worse — than *ANY* of the previous nominated contenders for the Office of the Presidency combined. And all this talk of having a “mainstream candidate” just didn’t cut it, as evidenced by the numbers. After all, if the reformers WANTED to “reform” the federal government, why do it under a small (allegedly largest) third party and not under *ANY* one of the two major parties?

Root has acknowledged that Dondero was the recruiter for him in the Party. I should know that to be the truth, because Dondero told me himself while he was on the air on my show Liberty Cap Talk Live, dated February 22, 2007. And I have the evidence to prove it.

Dondero, go fly a kite. Everyone knows you’re a lying two-faced son of a bitch. No one likes you here, no one trusts you, and no one believes you. So why even bother with us?

Go play with Sean Hannity and his wife. Oh wait, Sean doesn’t do “threesomes” like you do.

What a piece of shit you really are.

A) The dog killing story is total bullshit, as is pretty much anything Roger Pope says.
B) If you want to call Andy girlie, do it to his face.
C) I don’t talk to Gary, and far from being my friend he is actually spam blocked from my email.

Hope that clears that up.

Hey Paulie, nice of you to defend the female half of our population. Now how about doing the same for our best friends – Canines.

You’re still a defender and close friend and ally of a confirmed dog killer. You know of whom I speak. And you know the whole story.

Gonna let a GIRL! get the best of you “Andy”?

What difference does it make that she has female plumbing? It’s blogging, not a penis measuring contest, unless of course you are very insecure.
