Stupid Libertarian Party!
Damn it! As long as Mike Gravel was still in the race, I had somebody I could feel good about voting for:
Libertarian Party selects Bob Barr as 2008 presidential nomineeFormer Congressman plans to take the White House as Libertarian candidate
Denver — The Libertarian Party has nominated former Congressman Bob Barr as its candidate for president for the 2008 election.
“I’m sure will we emerge here with the strongest ticket in the history of the Libertarian Party,” Barr stated in his victory speech shortly after being selected as the Party’s nominee. “I want everybody to remember that we only have 163 days to win this election. We cannot waste one single day.”
More than 650 Libertarian delegates met in Denver from May 22 till the 26 for the 2008 Libertarian National Convention. After six rounds of voting Sunday afternoon, Barr was selected as the Party’s presidential nominee.
“We’re proud to present to the American voters Bob Barr as our presidential nominee,” says Libertarian Party spokesperson Andrew Davis. “While Republicans and Democrats will fight for their own power in November, Libertarians will fight for Americans. Bob Barr is one of the strongest candidates in the Party’s 37-year history, and we look for him to have an enormous impact in the 2008 race. Republicans and Democrats have good reason to fear a candidate like Barr, who refuses to accept the ‘business-as-usual’ attitude of the current political establishment. Americans want and need another choice, and that choice is Bob Barr.”
The Libertarian Party is America’s third largest political party, founded in 1971 as an alternative to the two main political parties. You can find more information on the Libertarian Party by visiting www.LP.org. The Libertarian Party proudly stands for smaller government, lower taxes and more freedom.

“More freedom,” my gay ass. As if Bob Barr even remotely resembles a “Libertarian.” Libertarians are supposed to be fiscal conservatives and social liberals — and Barr (who was, is, and always will be a Republican) WROTE the “Defense of Marriage Act”! (Yeah, the same Bob Barr about whom Frank Rich once wrote: “[The] principal House sponsor [of the federal anti-gay-marriage law, ‘The Defense of Marriage Act’], Bob Barr of Georgia, his district office confirms, has been married three times — which raises the question of why the act doesn’t contain a three-strikes-and-you’re-out provision.”
Hence: Stupid Libertarian Party!
