When Libertarians meet, no one cares


So the Libertarians met for their convention and made former Rep. Bob Barr their candidate for president, and the rest of the country is supposed to care.


Whatever. Barr has about as much chance of getting elected as Cynthia McKinney. You know it. I know it. Barr should know it, if he doesn't have his head stuck too far up a faulty fiscal policy and unrealistic political beliefs.


Come one, libertarians are fun at parties, for sure, when they prattle on about how their candidates could really get elected if the populace would just vote for them. A novel concept; that's how most people get elected.


One of their big problems, however, is that they waste their free time by holding such foolish beliefs about their candidates. Welcome to the two-party system. You're not invited.


While they might win some city council seats in various states, and maybe get a state representative elected every now and then, they have no chance of having a president with their label.


Why someone such as Barr hasn't figured this out yet, I'll never know. Maybe there's a book deal in it for him. I guess there's always the lecture circuit. Perhaps that's what being the libertarian candidate is really all about.

Some of us still believe in the necessity, and possibility, of peaceful revolution when our government becomes oppressive and tyrannical...which it has. It's a right and a responsibility affirmed by our Declaration of Independence.

Oh, give me a break. You really think tiny little details found in some old dusty document still matter? We the people couldn't have a revolution if we tried and to believe otherwise is ignoring the blatant truths of America in the 21st century. Peaceful revolution is a meaningless phrase, and violent revolution will get you put in prison. Boo yah.
