"Every time we bomb a building and kill innocent civilians, we may kill five terrorists, but we create 50 more," he said.

I somehow get this impression, that the Libertarian candidate is not pandering to the most profound beliefs of most Freepers, from Torie on out to the well, whatever. Just my vague impression.

The only thing terrorists understand is death. I'm for giving them all they can take.

Myself, I'm gett'n abit old for too much change. I'll more than happily take same old stuff from Bush anyday, with the likes of Jf'K hanging around.

I like Michael and unless GWB does something dramatic to earn my vote, I'm voting for Michael.

I do wish that he was a 'Neal Boortz libertarian'. I agree with Bush's war on terror overseas, but I more aligned with Badnarik domesticly, although we do have disagreements.

With that said, in my opinion, PA will go to Kerry by a substantial margin again so my vote for Badnarik is more symbolic and to send a message to the GOP to clean up it's act. If it really were a horserace here, I *might* vote differently.

I don't want Kerry to win (I believe that after his trial, he should face a firing squad for his after Vietnam activities), but I don't believe that I can vote for Bush because of a long laundry list of disagreements. CFR and drugs for geezers being the top 2.

Badnarik said he also plans to stop the federal government from requiring licenses for concealed handguns.



good idea....
how is a loser going to get it done?

though generally sympathetic to libertarian ideas... what does this guy really have to offer in the way of leadership skills?

zip.
What's he gonna get in the election?
the same as all the fringers... less than three percent all together....

except for maybe nader.
oregon democrat party is trying to block nader from getting on the ballot.

"Every time we bomb a building and kill innocent civilians, we may kill five terrorists, but we create 50 more," he said."
Because of spatial limitations (there could be only so many potential terrorists at any given time in any given place, no matter how large) if enough buildings are bombed, the terrorist pool will start getting depleted and the math will change.

He mentions college age and young adults...who may have voted Democratic anyway with-out the Libertarian candidate in play...so I don't see that much of a threat accept to the Democrats who need that college Demographic to vote for him!

Below is a published report on both Badnarik and Campagna. Need anyone say more? This party is a joke wrapped in paranoid psychosis.

LIBERTARIAN V.P. NOMINEE TOUTING FAKE DOCTORATE. Last month we wrote about Libertarian Presidential nominee Michael Badnarik refusing to get a driver's license, use zip codes, or pay federal income taxes.

It turns out his Vice Presidential nominee is just as unconventional. Psychologist and attorney Rich Campagna occasionally touts himself as "Dr. Campagna" and holds himself out as "a multi-disciplinary professional." What makes no sense is why a guy with real Ivy League B.A. and M.A. degrees, another legit M.A. degree, and a real J.D. degree, would need to embellish his resume by adding a Ph.D. from the American College of Metaphysical Theology. If you'd like a Ph.D. from that school, you can get it for just $249 (see the school's website, as they're for sale right from the homepage). Campagna explains that he had nearly completed his Ph.D. studies in psychology at the University of Iowa when he withdrew from the program in 1993 "for a plethora of complex personal, familial, professional and philosophical reasons." Afterwards, Campagna decided he "chose to craft my own educational destiny and final degree of distinction in a manner that any libertarian would appreciate" (to wit: by buying it from a diploma mill). "I am proud of the ACMT degree and the unique methodology I employed to obtain same ... The institution in question is not a fraud; it does exactly what it says it will do. It promises no qualifications for licensure ... Considering the travels I have engaged in, the practical experience obtained and the time, energy and moneys expended to finally obtain this degree, I do not feel compelled to blush from mentioning this degree in my resume. The manner of obtaining this degree ... is part of my campaign, part of my identity and in a way, part of my platform stance on 'freedom of choice' in education," he defiantly explained in a written statement.

"... but Bush being re-elected would be far worse than Kerry winning ..."

Says all there is to say about the attitude of the big-L Libertarians ... and a good number of the small-L's and paleos as well.

"The presidential battle in Texas is a two-horse race between Bush and Badnarik," Dixon said.

(snicker) Yeah right.

Bush:

Badnarik:

"This whole election is going to be close, but Bush being re-elected would be far worse than Kerry winning," Woosley said. "We are definitely trying to be the spoiler, and there is a lot of battleground-state campaigning going on."

Not exactly a secret, and hasn't been for a long time.

The LP is beneath contempt.

It's a pity that the system is so skewed towards the two (?) parties that other parties cannot attract and support adequate candidates to oppose the anointed.

Where does this a$shole live? I'll pony up the first day's kick for 100 pregnant, black women to carry signs saying and chant "Woosley Is The One" in front of his house. His neighbors will enjoy that.

Have another cup of coffee. Do something productive like work a phone bank for Bush.

Sheesh.
