My letter to Libertarian Party headquarter re: Bob Barr's callous attitude towards Dr. Paul & Campaign for Liberty

Posted September 11th, 2008 by nepos libertas

To whom it may concern;

I am a registered Libertarian since 2004 after first registering as an independent in 2002.

I voted for Michael Badnarik for President on LP ticket.

I do not trust Bob Barr because of his integrity issue. He has proved this with a disrespectful attitude by declining Dr. Paul's generous invitation to join the conference at National Press Club in Washington DC on September 10th and offering Dr. Paul the running mate slot as a "desperate measure" to assuage the LP members' concern about Barr's integrity.

I would suggest that Bob Barr step down and let Ron Paul, Mike Gravel [sorry to mention him, he's cool in my book as a vigorously anti-Establishment candidate], Mary Ruwart, Steve Kubby or respectable other take the presidential candidate slot upon referendum among the Libertarian Party [delegation].

Bob Barr will earn a little more respect if he does choose to concede nomination to another rather than be divisive in sabotaging the Libertarian Party ticket that give a wrong reason to continuing voting for the two Establishment parties in duopoly of America's destiny with increasing loss of liberty and rational economic policies.

Because Mr. Barr has severely harmed his reputation in disrespecting Dr. Paul among LP supporters, I will find my affiliation with Libertarian Party unacceptable and will change to another party of my choice if Mr. Barr's nomination remains acceptable in spite of his behavior that undermine and damage the LP's original statement of principles to the point thousands of LP members will vote for someone else which will harm LP's once respectable standing as the viable third party alternative to the Establishment monopoly of the two major parties with the loss of some votes.

Please seriously re-consider Bob Barr's nomination on LP ticket, because he has done more damage to LP and our chance to win the election than expected.

Sincerely,

[name]

disenchanted Libertarians out there. The LP blew it big time, I considered joining the LP but not now. I have an Idea lets form a new party, one that I'm sure RP would approve of. I'm disenchanted with the GOP and I'm sure there is alot of people that have the same problem with the Democrats. I say we call it the US Liberty Party, and make our platform strictly Constitutional. Just an idea.

Great idea on forming a new party, but there are too many parties out there competing for the presidential election besides the Establishment party duopoly system.

I would suggest, as I told David Nolan in an email, that we should start weeding out the directors, organizers and volunteers at LP HQ for having lies to the Establishment in their commitment to sabotage LP to ensure the dual monopoly of the Republican and Democratic parties.

By reforming LP to return to the principles, LP will become a genuine and viable alternative to the duopoly in gaining public trust to generate maximum voting support.

As it is now, LP is corrupted like Andrew Jackson's party and Theodore Roosevelt's party are corrupted by treasonous Elitist shills hell-bent on absolute control to subvert democracy for the kleptocrat-plutocrat oligarchy.

Effective Friday 12th, I will be resigning my membership by changing affiliation to Independent when I visit County Clerk in the city administration building.

LP as a national party have been hijacked by the shills for the Establishment. It needs to be reformed to return to the original statement principles, badly.

I sent snail mail letter to LP HQ in Washington that I will re-affiliate with LP on condition Bob Barr steps down or is ousted, and that they do not give unfettered access to Establishment shills (who agree with fascist tactics and Neoconservative/Neoliberal ideology) to undermine and destroy the party's reputation.

Yep, ever since the LP platform was gutted in 2006...

I was unaware LP has been corrupted after 2006. I don't keep up with Libertarian Party news.

I was skeptical when I heard Bob Barr received the nomination. I actually preferred Steve Kubby or Mike Gravel to secure the nomination.

Perhaps it could be said that some Libertarian Party delegates have been corrupted by right-wing extremism, with some possible ties to the Republican Establishment to pick Bob Barr.

That is when it went downhill, rapidly. Barr's selfish and egotistical attitude at National Press Club, plus his offering Paul a VP slot, have exposed his true color. He is a traitor.

Help us Organize for 2010 and 2012

On September 11th, 2008 georgedonnelly says:

If you think the LP is salvageable (I do), help us get a majority at the 2010 and 2012 LP conventions so we can elect true-libertarian party leadership and a true-libertarian candidate in 2012.

Unfortunately the Libertarian National cmte is behind Barr almost entirely and probably will not remove him.

And it's too late to get a different candidate on the ballot, so we're screwed either way (I'm an LP member). Ballot access is time-consuming and expensive. Removing Barr would be throwing away a lot of work and money.

I watched the Libertarian convention about a month ago on CSPAN for about an hour. I really liked Mary Ruwart way better than Barr or Root. OMG Root was a scumbag neo-con so easy to look right through him. Ruwart was nice to watch. I could tell she was passionate about what she was doing. I would have supported her over all else.

Barr seemed like another career politician anyway. Stupid f**ing libertarians should choose better candidates because this thing with Ron Paul and Barr is exactly what a neo-con would do. Self interest, maneuvering, piece of shit.

Ruwart is a true libertarian...

Barr will never step down, so there's no point in lobbying for that.

Just do what I am going to do---vote Libertarian on the bottom of the ticket and vote for Chuck Baldwin for President.

I let my LP membership lapse after the Badnarik campaign. The writing was on the wall, now it's on the front door. I was hoping the LP would be a viable force, but its leadership, and Bob Barr may have succeeded in bringing it down. I feel the same way I felt when John Lennon was shot. No Beatles reunion, no LP.

To add insult to injury,

On September 11th, 2008 BigT says:

now these neocon Barr supporters can't even accept that they are finished, and go away. Now they send hordes of trolls in here to disrupt.
They feel the need to come on here and insult Dr. Paul, RP supporters, Dr. Paul's work, and other 3rd Party Candidates, just to try to resurrect their politically dead candidate.
Or , maybe not.
Maybe, they have finished-off the LP, and now they are gunning for us.
Leaving no opposition left against the status-quo, or at least that seems to be their hope.

These are despicable people, I'm telling you.

You're correct.

Good thing is we as a collective group here on the DP are smarter than all the Barr Trolls combined, and they absolutely hate Knowing that.

On September 11th, 2008 pearl says:

it almost could have been a calculated move on Barr's part to damage the LP as a favor to his NeoCon friends in Washington. I always did consider him a plant with hidden motives anyway. So now he destroys the effectiveness of the most effective 3rd party extant and behold, we have even fewer options in the future. We must do our best to encourage 3rd party voting, even if that means promoting Neocon Bob, because he'll never win, but we need to follow the plan of breaking the monopoly.
