    Yep, Anderson over 6 million.

    Well, there ya go, Ed Clark at the end, not even remotely the biggest third party candidate that year. John Anderson, I think, got more votes in 1980.

    I like the Kubby ad with South Park characters. That was “sweet!”

    1. TANSTAAFL was not a slogan invented in 1971 by the LP. It was 1963 or so, and appears in Heinlein’s novel _The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress_. This video clearly attempts to take authorship for it.

    2. David Bergland on Nightline? That’s the video of the party presidential candidate they use to represent the 1980s? What about Ed Clark, still the highest vote getter for president for the LP? I guess they can’t show Ed on their video about party history, because he was neither Bergland nor Browne.

    And of course they show Harry Browne. Oddly no mention of Perry Willis or Michael Emerling Cloud.

    All I know is that it was at LP.org today. Maybe they have a random load feature in the video box?
    I’d never seen it before.

    This is the video from the ’06 convention, correct?

    No, most videos to this point have all been ’08 oriented.

    It was new to me. Have we posted it here before?

  9. Mike Theodore November 17, 2008

    Ya, this one’s been around a while.
