    GE,

    Headline should have read “Barrett Defeats Libertarian in Wisconsin.”

    Or maybe “Barrett succeeds in attempt to destroy Libertarian Party’s 2008 prospects in Wisconsin.”

    kinda special to see Libertarians compete in a primary for the same office. .. . so rarely happens, I’d take it as a good sign if it’d happen more.

    Speaking of Wisconsin, the Constitution Party announced yesterday that Chuck Baldwin will be on the Wisconsin ballot as an independent. The Party collected more 4,000 signatues where just 2,000 are required. This is a good state to be in non-major party politics.

    At least Barrett and his campaign manager seem to have backed off using his campaign as a vehcile to elevate the COINTELPRO thermite-sniffing wing of the 9/11 movement.

    Who’s crazier? A Islamo-fascist “Truther” who thinks social security is a “great program” and we need universal healthcare and anti-trust legislation, or a 9/11 Truther who supports CIA-man Bob Barr?

    What does that even mean, “9/11 truther”? Is the other option “9/11 liar”? And isn’t “islamo-fascist” a made-up neocon word?
