I think it would be nice if all the big-L Libertarians came back to the Republican party now and helped turn it into something useful.TC Fenstermakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06592962702691555763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429305915843274151.post-33028298063075926462008-11-03T00:19:00.000-05:002008-11-03T00:19:00.000-05:00When intelligent Libertarians examine Barack Obama...When intelligent Libertarians examine Barack Obama, they see his high intelligence and intellect as an asset for rational [libertarian] thinking. <BR/><BR/>Combined this with his background as a civil rights lawyer and constitutional law professor who's favorable to voluntary, free community organization, and who as a Senator, took a daring stand against the Iraq War -- it becomes easy to see that Barack Obama is more "libertarian" than not.<BR/><BR/>Libertarians living in the real world know that Bob Barr is an ex-CIA Republican and on that basis he is questionable as a true “Libertarian”. <BR/><BR/>Because Bob Barr spend most of his political career as a rather right-wing conservative Republican, many long-time Libertarians don’t see him as a “real” Libertarian. <BR/><BR/>But also gangs of these hostile right-wing conservative Republicans have infiltrated the Libertarian Party over the years pushing out long-time Libertarians and founders. <BR/><BR/>This hostile LP take-over by conservative Republicans is not easily forgotten -- and well, as a backlash -- I can see a lot of Libertarians wanting to get Republicans out of power.<BR/><BR/>And the best way to do this is by voting for Obama and a straight Democratic ticket.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429305915843274151.post-9035606364815550072008-11-02T19:48:00.000-05:002008-11-02T19:48:00.000-05:00Your title is misleading.

And those that did, gave less than stellar praise of the man--most seemed resigned to "he's the lesser of two evils," and so forth.<BR/><BR/>Anyway what I found more interesting was the number of people who responded they'd like to waterboard Woodrow Wilson. He gets my vote as this past century's most overrated president; glad to see I'm not alone. (The woman who wanted to waterboard Gerald Ford is just a sick and ignorant mofo though...ugh.)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for a link to an interesting article, in any case.TC Fenstermakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06592962702691555763noreply@blogger.com
