Some stats highlighting differences between Ron Paul supporters and those supporting Libertarian Party candidates

I thought it might be fun to use the survey of libertarians we conducted to see if we could find differences between Ron Paul supporters and those supporting Libertarian Party candidates. First, there was no significant difference on the Iraq War:

Wanna ask a prez candidate a question?

Michelle is going to be interviewing LP presidential wannabe Wayne Allyn Root in Las Vegas this weekend. If you have any questions you’d like asked, pop her a comment at her personal blog.
Shame they picked this weekend, as I have dinner planned with some colleagues at Prime Steakhouse at Bellagio in late August.

Another senior military officer speaks out against Iraq

BTW, Admiral Colley lives in Alabama. I’ve met him quite a few times before and have been impressed. From UPI:
Vice Adm. Michael C. Colley, retired, who serves as an at-large member on the board of directors of the Libertarian Party, was reacting to the measure passed by the U.S. House of Representatives last […]

Housekeeping notes

Sorry for being so far behind.  I’ve had a day long internet outage, cell phone problems and now my e-mail won’t work.  I’ll try to catch up on this blog and my correspondence as quickly as I can.

Ron Paul winning military donations straw poll

At a time when a very significant amount of active duty service members are joining the Libertarian Party, this report should come as no surprise - but it’s nice to see, nonetheless.   According to Dave Weigel, Paulsters in uniform contributed:
more than [to] John McCain ($16,675), Mitt Romney ($4551) combined and only a little less than […]

An unordained preacher who pleaded guilty today to three […]

DC’s mayor still opposes right of self-defense

The DC government’s attitude about gun control is one of many reasons why I’m glad I moved back to Alabama. In the latest example, Mayor Fenty hopes to get the U.S. Supreme Court to disregard the Constitution. In so doing, he’ll use taxpayer dollars to deprive people of their natural rights. From […]

Poetic justice

It looks like my old friend Joe Seehusen (8 minute mark on video) is doing a great job on the ground in Iowa.
Remember when Ed Failor of Iowans for Tax Relief excluded Ron Paul from their presidential forum? The George W. Bush and John McCain supporter probably did more to help Dr. Paul by dissing […]

Libertarian solutions to real world problems

Remember Bob Smither, the Libertarian Party congressional candidate who did fairly well in Tom DeLay’s old district?  Classically Liberal has an interesting posting up which shows how voluntary organizations can often be more effective than government solutions.
 The problem, Chapter One:
Mangum poured lighter fluid on the body and set it alight and then buried it in […]

Ron Paul the big winner in the libertarian survey

New (and shorter) survey here. Please participate!
As expected, Ron Paul was the big winner in the survey we’ve been conducting - with a total of 1389 votes (69.62%) out of the 1995 people who responded to the survey. What’s interesting is that he got a slightly higher amount of votes from people who indicated […]

According to this site, the GOP Senator has been running around in N’Awlins wearing a dipey for the ladies on Canal Street:
We’re talking about, among other things, Diaper Fetishism. That’s right folks, according to a trusted inside source, Vitter was well known among other Canal Street Brothel patrons to like diapers as well as other […]

Dems to propose $35 billion tax increase

I used to think the thing congressional Democrats were best at was wasting taxpayer dollars. However, it’s pretty clear that the Republicans have trumped them in this regard. Since Democratic congressional approval numbers aren’t dropping fast enough for Nancy Pelosi, it looks like the Dems will have to try something new to reach […]
