Mr. Root articulates the feeling that many Americans have which is that we don’t want to be lectured at by elected officials for the choices we make.

you might want to know if the article on Obama was too long for any publication to use it…to see Reason.com (Hit and Miss section where Mattthe editor featured it at top)…and Gambling911.com which has it at top right now…or Chuck Muth’s web site which is featuring it today…and lets not forget he’s now booked on 8 radio shows to discuss it.

ROFLMAO , good grief

What he does is promote himself and feed his ego.

He’ll use the LP as a marketing vehicle to reach alienated and marginalized right-wingers so he can sell books and promote his candidacy.

When the time comes, sooner or later, when he realizes he can’t get elected as a Libertarian he’ll come crawling to the Republican Liberty Caucus, like so many other former LP reactionaries, and try his luck there (no pun intended).

Too long for any publication to publish this 0p-ed.

Wayne Allyn Root wants people to believe that he is helping the LP, but his media appearences have not helped the party do better in polls, gain members, or raise additional money. Please explain what he actually does?

I wish Root would stop beating around the Bush and just come out and say what he thinks of Obama.

I’ve always wondered how Mr. Root’s conception of God fits in with his endorsement of sin. I don’t mean in a libertarian sense that we are free to make choices to sin if we wish; I have no problem with that. I mean balancing Mr. Root’s self-proclaimed family values and love of God and the Bible with active promotion of hedonism, of a place that declares sin a virtue and says to men that can get away with whatever you want here before you go home to your boring wife and kids.

I”m not trying to snark or flame or anything – this is a sincere question.

fuck obama!!!!!!!

Wayne has nothing bad to say about Mary.

If Obama was suggesting that gambling is not wise, then Obama is right..

Obama’s remark was even libertarian. The LPCA website says the LP is Fiscally Responsible. Well, it is fiscally responsible to avoid gambling.

Please don’t anyone say that Obama’s actions are not fiscally responsible. Of course they’re not. But Root is opposing Obama’s fiscally responsible statement — and disagreeing with it!

Root: “WITH ALL DUE RESPECT MR. PRESIDENT, SCREW YOU.”

This should please right-wing radio listeners. All of whom will vote for Palin, or whoever the GOP runs in 2012, because “the LP can’t win.”

Root may attract some talk radio cheers with this, but not 2012 voters.

Clearly, Root does not analyze his opponents’ or his own statements. He denounces his opponents (Ruwart, Obama, etc.) in knee-jerk fashion, irrespective of what they said, or what Root said in the past.
