Bob Barr/Wayne Allen Root Presidential Ticket

Here is part of an announcement that I received from the Libertarian party. (I edited out where they are asking for finacial support)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

May 28, 2008

From the Libertarian Party:

Dear Libertarian,

This past weekend, more than 650 Libertarian delegates from across the country came together in Denver, CO to select our ticket for the 2008 presidential race. Through much debate, both on the stage and on the floor, our delegates selected one of the strongest tickets in the 37-year history of the Libertarian Party. Former Congressman Bob Barr, and small businessman Wayne Allyn Root will be leading the Party into what could possibly be the biggest year for Libertarians since Ed Clark ran in 1980!

However, our candidates are only as strong as the Libertarians who support them, and with your help, we can make this year one for the record books!

As you well know, the Libertarian Party always starts off a few paces back from the main two parties because of our battles with ballot access and funding. It takes an incredibly large sum of money to put the party on an even playing field in each state, and after that is all said and done, we still have the campaign to fund!

In the post-nomination excitement, as Libertarians united behind our candidate and began to turn towards the real enemy of the establishment, more than $64,000 was donated at the 2008 National Convention Presidential Banquet. Our gracious donors recognized that this was going to be a banner-year for the Libertarian Party, and wanted to make sure the tracks were laid for the Barr/Root train to roll loudly into Washington.

But this is just a fraction of what we need to ensure the Libertarian Party breaks every third-party record this year. We now put the challenge to you, our generous donors, volunteers and activists: Will you help build the tracks to success in 2008?

Thank you,

Andrew Davis
National Media Coordinator
Libertarian Party

Wasn't Bob Barr also a feature in that Borat movie? I haven't made myself watch it yet - I'm waiting for the Movieplex version to come out - there was something on YouTube where Borat makes him choke eating something.

Losers.

The only thing they will accomplish is to possibly peel off enough McCain support to insure he loses.

It is true McCain being elected is like a Democrat being elected but at least a MODERATE Democrat vs. the ultra liberal socialist other Democrat alternatives, Obama & Hillary.

I still have a bad taste in my mouth from 1992 when the idiot midget ran as a 3rd party canidate and caused us to have 8 years of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Few people realize that Bill Clinton won the Presidency in 1992 with just 43% of the vote.

Re: Bob Barr/Wayne Allen Root Presidential Ticket

Where does Barr stand on the gay agenda? My guess is they would say live and let live. Hope I am wrong.

CC1,
You are a riot! Love this post and your last sentence is true!

Ross Perot was something else! I wouldn't vote for him because he seemed like he never shut up long enough for anyone to get a word in edgewise!

He talked a lot to distract from his big ears!!

Barnum and Bailey hired him as their manager.
