Should I be sore at Libertarians? I have been with them since I was 18, voting Ed Clark in 1980 and voting faithfully ever since. In 1980 Ed Clark recieved 1 million votes that year. In 1988 Ron Paul recieved some 350,000 votes. Now comes Ron Paul 2007. Were are the libertarians? Still reading Cato Letters and the Journal of Libertarian Studies? Still writing obscure essays? Still hacking code? Its not as if they don't know Ron Paul is running. Its they are not coughing up $$. WHATS UP WITH THAT ???

It seems to me, please correct me if my assumptions and facts are wrong, that the libertarian "faithful" are not Putting Money into the Ron Paul campaign. Simple math tells me there are at least 600,000 party faithful. That means if they cough up JUST $200 dam dollars, that is $12,000,000 right there.

Now I am not addressing those libertarians that have coughed up $200. I am saying there is at least 300,000 libertarians that have given NOTHING. That means they lectured us to death, and now are shorting us $6,000,000.

Now, listen up YOOO. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT. I don't want to hear your excuses. And that is WHAT they are EXCUSES.

Now WRITE OUT THAT CHECK and send it off to the Campaign!

Look, don't tell me that RP is "bad" for the libertarian movement, that he is not good on the gay issue -- -what fools want to buy into the community property legal system anyway??? ---- Don't tell me you don't like his wacky crowd that is following RP...coming from you Beavus and Butt Head Sex starved Nerds, that is calling the kettle black. Don't tell me its the Abortion issue, RP was ALWAYs against abortion and he was good enough then in 1988. PLUS he got better on the Death Penalty issue, finally realizing that there way too many reasons (excuses) for the STATE to execute you. Don't tell me RP is pandering to the anti mexican sentiment and he is no longer ant-INS. He is anti-INS but GIVE THE MAN A BREAK, he is in the F'ing zenophobic Republican party for christ sake... the man has to hang some how. Even so, he has said again and again he is not out to make them the "scape goat" for our failed welfare economy. JUST don't Tell me your excuses!!! I don't want to hear them. Sell something then, sell all that stuff in your house, I don't care. GET CASH !!!!. The bottom line is YOU ARE SHOCKED with Ron popularity and you don't know what to think and now you are standing there like a Deer in the Headlights.... perhaps feeling your unique "club" is now exposed.

Look, I will personally find you, each and every one of you little Cheap Ass Libertarians that I have hung out with for 25 years. After this election, those of you who will claim you are a libertarian and I will demand to see your $200 canceled check to the RP campain or $2300 to the LP.... If you got neither, then you are getting a punch in the nose. If you don't show me red stained shoes from putting up RP revolution signs up on freeway over passes, if you don't show me a $410 reciept for 1000 stamps from your mass Direct mail campaign, if you don't show me your canceled $1000 check to the RP campaign, I will personally REACH over and Grab all 5 Pencils from your shirt Pocket and Break them over your head!

Now Get out that check book, write out $200 to the RP campaign, now! Come on MR PRINCIPLE, you have blown that kind of money on a dozen stupid computer items. What the heck! Do it !!!

My contention is the RP campain WILL do the Libertarian movement a whole lot of GOOD. Why? Because it will finally cause the movement to be an intellectual social science movement, which will mean it will hitch on to modern sciences, meaning ..it will Grow and Survive. Perhaps the LP will grow more too. Or perhaps there will be a Left expression and a Right expression. A Gravel/Kucinich side, and the Ron Paul/Reagan/Goldwater Side. Go with it. Write the Dam CHECK.

For those of you who have given a $1000 and Know some Libertarians, give them a real kick in the ass for me will you?.... ask them, "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? PERFECTION?" This man, by any measure, is the first real challange to the State in a long, long time. Tell them this is like a 4 month MOVIE, totally worth the laughs at $10 per day, thats $1000.

Tell those lazy libertarians to Write a check for $1000. That would mean $30,000,000 million for the RP campain, ....Ask them, "do you realize that $30 million will give him the Power to really Pave the Way for FUTURE libertarians?".

Tell them its worth a $1000 just to see Chris Mathews and Hanity-Insanity and ORipely GO NUTS ! HELL that is one Cheap MOVIE date that keeps on giving!...with new you tube video after another we will be laughing YEARS from now still watching the Media SWEAT....

I want to MAKE Sean Hanity say these words..."The Ron Paul Campaign now has $30 million, more than Giuliani --cough cough, choke, cough)

That will be WELL worth a $1000 donation!

Those in the media will be KISSING some 72 year old RON Paul BUTT. LMFAO.....

And No more 7 questions to Ron vs 18 questions to Rudy. Dam right, some Respect. And that means RESPECT for Libertarians too! ALL LIBERTARIANS. $30,000,00 means RESPECT. THAT also means the RP campaign is UNDER estimating their real fund rasing potential. There are at least another 50,000 inconsistant and strange odd balls who for bizzar reasons will send RP $100, so that is another $5 million right there!

So everyone else, stop what you are doing. Think of THAT libertarian guy --- you know the one, the one who never shuts the F up, but now is strangely silent about RP campaign. GO FIND HIM.

Everyone, Find a lazy libertarian this week!!. Turn him upside down and SHAKE a $1000 out of him. Tell him HE OWES you this much just for making you listen to his Speeches for the last 10 years!

Wrong math

Your math is off. If 300,000 people gave $20 it would be $6,000,000. If 300,000 people gave $200 it would be 60 MILLION DOLLARS!

WOW!

Gee, I can't spell and do math.... lol $60,000,000 dollars! Dam! The Main Stream Media would REALLY be kissing some RON PAUL BUTT.

I would LOVE to SEE THAT !!!!!!!!!!!

LIBERTARIANS

Hey not only do we need to get the Libertarians to kick in some dough! we need them to register Republican and VOTE IN THE PRIMARY.. My wife and I are donating 1000.00 per month till we get to our 4600 max.. PLEASE LIBERTARIANS ME/US! THIS IS THE ONLY WAY YOUR GONNA BE ABLE TO "STICK IT TO THE MAN" With Ron Paul running as a Republican, the debates have given him outstanding exposure! he did not have this in 88' if he had this exposure in 88 like even the limited exposure he is getting in the republican debates he would have beat goergy porgy senior! PLEASE FOLKS,, LIBERTARIAN-CONSTITUTION PARTY- INDEPENDANTS-AND YOU DEMOCRATS.. Ron Paul is the man! we may not get another chance like this! DONATE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, VOTE IN THE PRIMARY TELL 1 PERSON EVERY DAY ABOUT RON PAUL.. I told 5 different people about Ron Paul last week showed em that new video Ron sells himself!!! and they will tell 5 people and it spreads like wildfire!!!!!! RON PAUL IN 08!

“A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.” (Prov. 22:3; 27:12 KJV)

Libertarian Party

I supported Harry Browne but never joined the Libertarian Party for the same reason I have never been a member of any party. Parties are meaningless. The bigger they get the less they stand for. I have joined the Republican Party in order to vote for Ron Paul in the primaries but will return to the land of independent soon after.

That post was sensational and spelling errors show passion in writing!

The logic of bad Spelling & bad math

The logic of baddd Speeeling and an inability to multiply is it keeps people commenting ... thus keeping the post up at the top....(wink)

Potential is much bigger than you think!

Just a little fact check to put the numbers into proportions here.

According to this on CBSNEWS today:
http://tinyurl.com/3b969b

The Ron Paul campaign had 8,538 unique physical donators in Q2 and got another 17,461 new unique physical donators in Q3. That adds up to 26,000 persons. That's less than *one percent of one percent* of the populaton! That's less than one 10th of the people who voted for Ron Paul in 1988 (even discounting those who've died during these 20 years). If there are 600,000 libertarians, then the number of donors thus far corresponds to only 4% of them.

And you made a math error. If 600,000 people donate $200 each, then that gives $120,000,000; yes $120 millions, not $12 millions...

Hehe, this is like the Penn & Teller show in writing:

>That means they lectured us to death, and now are shorting us >$6,000,000 [actually $60,000,000].
>Now, listen up YOOO. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.
>I don't want to hear your excuses.

What's up with libertarians?

Well, think about it for a second. If there are 500,000-600,000 libertarians, why didn't they just give money in the last election to Badnarik? If they did, he would of gotten a whole bunch of money and been considered a front runner who is raising a ton of cash. Obviously, Libertarians aren't giving now for the same reasons the haven't given in the past, whatever those reasons are.

Thats the Guy I am looking for!

THAT is the kind of Guy I am talking about....!!!!!!!!!

Ok, please Copy, Paste, and Print my short turribly spelled Seriously (but hopefully) Funny money solicitation Essay.... and give it to him.

Please Add further that I am 6'10, 280lbs, with a triple degree black belt, Mixed Martial Arts, Navy Seals & Special Weapons training bad-ass LeRoy Brown Mother F*cker, who is also multi millionaire that can fly anywhere on a seconds notice, AND, you know my phone number.....

And I WILL be COMING for his Ass if you have to make that call!

So please tell him to Donate NOW ----or -----I will grab all those nerdy little pencils he has in his pocket protector and I will jam them into his nose. Tell him I will pull out his tongue and pop him one in the chin if he does not Pony UP to the RP Campaign. Tell him I will personally consider it my right and sacred duty to Confiscated by the authority invested in my superior understanding of libertarian theory...all, and I mean ALL his precious libertarian book collection. Thats right, he will have to go buy them all again from Laissez-Faire Books!

THAT guy, that guy is one of the 500,000 libertarians who never Shut the F*ck Up about Ayn Rand and Murry Rothbard.... Those are the HOLD OUTS.

500,000 libertarian hold outs, that what we have (the other 200,000 have sent money in).... 500,000 x $100 = $50 Million.

Look, a hundred dollars is well worth the ticket price to see BIG MEDIA kissing some 72 year old RON PAUL ASS.

So tell that guy I am coming for him! Treg

Laughing At Ourselves

A very funny piece indeed! Too many spelling and grammar errors, but funny nonetheless.

I am a member of the Libertarian Party and have been since Harry Browne's first presidential run. I am one of their Liberty Pledge monthly donors and their candidates always get my votes. But a smart libertarian will support all forces that are working to turn back the tide of the "omnipotent state." A smart libertarian will certainly lend support to the force that will likely cause the most damage. For that reason, I have donated $850 so far to the Ron Paul campaign (and more will follow in the weeks to come). I lead a Ron Paul Meetup group and have participated in many grassroots activities as well.

It does not matter to me that Ron's postions do not match mine 100%. They match mine 90% and that's a presidential deal I cannot pass by. I may never see such a chance again in my lifetime. If Ron should eventually drop out of the race altogether, I will cast my presidential vote for the Libertarian candidate.

What baffles me is that for each presidential run made by Harry Browne and the one made by Badnarik, roughly 500,000 votes were earned. If each one of those people were to donate to the Paul campaign a mere $25, twelve and a half million dollars would be raised instantly. Where are these people? Why are they holding on to their cash at this unique time? Come on folks...all of you....cough up some cash! Grassroots efforts are laudable but a heap of cash in the Paul coffers will do far more to bloody the statists' noses than waving a sign on a street corner.

Other than the bad spelling, this is great.

Dude, get a spell checker...

I have voted libertarian since 2000, and before that I voted for Perot... Unfortunately, I was brainwashed in the first election that I could vote in, and it was for Billary Version 1.0. (Hey, I was only 21 so sue me... I grew up on welfare and went to government schools.)

I felt dirty as hell when I did it, but I sucked it up, rubbed some dirt on the wound, and registered Republican.... I have a voter registration form ready to return to the libertarian party 1 month after I vote here in Florida, just in case these bastards try to sabotage their own election instead of the Democrats election.

If you are a libertarian, you must switch and vote for Ron Paul... Unless we can get this guy in the White House, the libertarian movement will not succeed...

You don't have to send in a thousand... $25 a week until Super Tuesday or so would be nice... The only way the cause of liberty can be expanded is by taking baby steps.... The Doctor knows what he is saying... We HAVE to take care of the older and mid aged folks while allowing the mid aged to young to opt out of the system... That is the only way..

As far as the borders and abortion go, I disagree with his stances on the borders somewhat... I believe that an ellis island style 'Give them a shot, physical, background check and quarantine for a few weeks sort of style to make sure that they are legit kinda guy.... I'm a pro-life constitutional libertarian. I believe that the federal government has no right to legalize abortion... It should be left up to the states... I would still vote for your freedom to have an abortion. I don't not want it banned in my locality, but the people in each state should be able to decide it... and if you disagree with me, instead of fighting each other over the minutiae, lets try to get this guy in... we can argue over the specifics later

Anyhow, Libertarians should realize that this is our ONLY chance to turn the tide in our favor for once... It's a chance to take our philosophy out academia and geekdom...

Please consider that!

transition period wins votes...

Having a libertarian extolling the virtues of transition is helping to grow the movement.

In addition, many people like me who were libertarians, intend to become Libertarians the day after the Republican primary vote. This is the best thing possible for the Libertarian movement if they can just see it and drop the "we don't care if we win" attitude. The Libs can replace the Republicans as the second party if we get RP in.

This is the first time, ever, that we have had a real chance at getting a libertarian in office. In addition, on immigration, with legitimate security concerns, there is nothing wrong with wanting people to come legally instead of legalizing all forms of immigration.

Abortion is a controversial topic within Libertarian circles, etc.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the kick ass good! :)

loser

i'm not sure if this is a joke or if this guy/gal is serious or what...
i'm libertarian and i have given and plan to give more. i'm not sure what planet this guy lives in, but the libertarians are giving...

<finger on nose>....

I hope some of those JLS readers are reading this.

Laughing hysterically!

I love this post! Bravo! And I've been wondering the same thing for weeks now. Where are all those hundreds of thousands of Libertarians?!?! Seriously, get this blog out on the web: Digg it, You Tube it, Fbook it, something! Someone's got to get this group to kick in the big $$. PS - Im a registered Republican, but with a strong libertarian streak and I'm maxed at $2300 and attending the walk this weekend in LA.

Like I keep telling my

Like I keep telling my fellow libertarian friends:

"Hey, I've voted for people who have agreed with me MUCH less."

I agree

I'm glad that you didn't go after the libertarians that did change over to republican to vote or did give money.

I have a libertarian friend that works for me that is still going to vote libertarian. "It baffles my mind" (using a line from Ron Paul's last debate).

I know you want to be loyal to your party but DAMN! Lets at least get this man in office and then regroup the libertarian movement.

New Recruits

It seems like there are so many people coming into our camp that are new to politics. The L party may be their only home if RP doesn't win. I personally have been registered L for 8 years not. Going back to R for RP.

I'm a new Recruit

After 30 years of being a Republican after we get Ron Paul elected as President I'm changing over to the Libertarian Party.
The Republican party left me! I didn't leave them!
