Ruin whose victory? The victory of Republican socialists. Bring it on!! Though I am very disappointed to hear of the LP's attempts to assasinate Bob Barr over the drug issue. Bob Barr is one of the best friends of liberty in the House.
Barr may actually swing libertarian on some issues (he has expressed reservations about some the actions of the Ashcroft DOJ in regards to the war on terror), but on the drug issue he is an arch-Drug Warrior. No matter what libertarian stances Barr may have taken on other issues, his fascism in regards to the INSANE WOsD simply cannot be reconciled by any principled libertarian - that's why the LP opposes him.
I suppose I thought so too, until I learned he had
pushed through a bill to make it ILLEGAL for
some issues to be voted on in Washington D.C.
Referendum or no, the issue could not legally
be put up for a vote. The people were not
even allowed to decide. If that is the hallmark
of the best friend of liberty in the House, I don't see it.
