David Nolan at Libertarian Party blog:
Earlier this week I did a three-day campaign swing through central and northern Arizona. I recorded a 3-minute campaign message at KTTV in Phoenix, and spoke to Tea Party groups in Flagstaff and Scottsdale. This Sunday, I will take part in a live, televised debate that will include all four U.S. Senate candidates. It should be interesting!
Milnes, you’re discredited as a sane person. To wit, everything you say. Discredited.
Ron Paul, you are discredited as a libertarian. You never were & never will be. You are a creaky old counterrevolutionary. Nationalist, theocrat. You bamboozled the anti-war movement in 2008 to contribute 35 million$ to your campaign which never could win, or even win a single primary. Anyone who understood The Libertarian Vote/Cato knew this. You were dishonest with voters & contributors.
& now you are poised for a do-over in 2012 with your similarly flawed son Rand. I can only hope that libertarians & the anti-war movement will not get fooled again.
Tom K., unlike paulie, you did manage to correctly identify Ron Paul as a dixiecrat conservative. However you have had plenty of time to endorse PLAS & have not. You are also discredited for political science failure.
You managed to add 27 + 13. However it is NOT i27 & i13-they are not imaginary numbers. The Libertarian Vote/ Cato Institute clearly described it. Also Ron Paul clearly got a suppressed libertarian vote-despite not even being a genuine libertarian. Allende in 1970 won a close plurality with 36% with his leftist coalition. This coalition may very well have included some of the Libertarian Vote-difficult to say. Also Teddy Roosevelt with the Progressive Party 1912 got second place with 27%. You have failed to recognize TR as a left libertarian and also failed to assist the Libertarian Party in purging rightists from party positions and candidacies.
Instead you helped create BTP which would have been unnecessary and not called for.
Discredited.
paulie cannoli, eats too much stromboli,
you are discredited. Your positive noises about Ron Paul up to & including present day discredit you. There were anti-Paul misgivings long ago from the libertarian left. Completely independent of me. In the 2008 campaign & even before.
How you have managed a tone deaf ear to that I do not know. You should come out aginst The Pauls asap. That would go a long way to improve your discredited status.
David Nolan, you should be consulting with your Green competitor about the PLAS campaign. In this case the press conference announcing the withdrawal of the Green & endorsing you should be timed as to when diminishing returns start to kick in-decreasing polling, decreasing contributions & increasing campaign debt, decreasing MSM publicity etc.
Probably right after this televised debate.
Anything on McCain’s DADT position or did I miss it?
