Republicans: you have a choice

Bob Barr, Libertarian candidate for president

Barr said neither McCain nor Barack Obama, the Democratic frontrunner, would rein in a government that he said has grown too powerful after the September 11 attacks.

Vote for Bob Barr

And … the LA Times reports that the forces of Rep. Ron Paul have been organizing across the country to stage an embarrassing public revolt against Sen. John McCain when Republicans gather for their national convention in Minnesota at the beginning of September:

In the last three months, Paul’s forces, who donated $34.5 million to his White House effort and upward of a million total votes, have, as The Ticket has noted, been fighting a series of guerrilla battles with party establishment officials at county and state conventions from Washington and Missouri to Maine and Mississippi. Their goal: to take control of local committees, boost their delegate totals and influence platform debates.

Quietly, beneath the political radar of the Republican Party establishment and mainstream media, they’re laboring at the local level. Last month Paul forces read the party rule book in Missouri and elected about a third of the delegates to the state convention that will pick the delegates to the national convention.

Noting the strength of the die-hard Paul supporters, expect a sea of Ron Paul signs and banners at the GOP convention. It’ll be great.  Hey, Paul got over a million votes, 27% in PA.

    I like Bob Barr.

    If McCain picks Huckholio as his running mate, it’s pretty much over. I won’t support that ticket.

    I’m glad we agree on Huckhulio.

    It gives an appropriate reflection on where we live to note that Huckster won the republican primary in TN. (Glen probably voted for him)

    Perhaps William, you should read and listen more than you write and speak.

Otherwise, just make an ass out of yourself and argue with me against a position that I don’t hold. For an example of what I am talking about, read the comments of this post. […]
