| Political Conversation and Debate This forum is not a temporary one. It will exist up to, and after the presidential elections. Some people want to talk or even argue politics, other's don't. Let's see if we can apply some reason and understanding to the debate. |

Libertarian Convention
Quote:
Libertarians picked former Republican Representative Bob Barr as
their candidate yesterday after six rounds of balloting at their national convention.
Barr beat research scientist Mary Ruwart 324-276 on the final ballot.
Barr left the GOP in 2006 over what he called bloated spending and civil liberties intrusions by the Bush administration.

Wayne Root is the VP candidate and is going to use his status in the gambling world to try to attract online poker players to the Libertarian Party. I would love to see him give a speech saying we need to get rid of the 16th amendment so more citizens can lay down money on the Buckeyes getting 13.5 against Youngstown State.

IMO, any reason to get rid of the 16th amendment is a good reason.
Shave the mustache Bob.

Why can't we have a separate Libertarian party for the non-crazies?

I'm glad someone stands up for freedom like Wayne Root. I disapprove of the legalized theft of money called the income tax.
