I think all of poloticians are corrupt. And, the only way to vote, is to choose the one who doesn’t lie the most, or even biased

I will not vote for McCain, even if it means a Democrat wins the White House! I am not happy with the Constitution Party’s choice so I will seriously consider Bob Barr.

My recollection of the Lewinsky affair is that the impeachment proceedings were not for having sex but for lying about it.

Had Bill contacted me I would have told him not to say “Ah never had sex with that woman,” but “Bloody oath mate, I gave it to her and she was squealing for it.” This way he would have been praised for his honesty and got a reputation as a good ol boy at the same time.

Should the next President require personal advice, I am available on a consultancy basis at a fee which is modest in relation to the GDP.

The question I have for Bob Barr is if you headed up the impeachment for Bill Clinton and his affair with Monica Lewinski, Do you think you should have been impeached for the affairs you had??

Phony, what makes you different than Clinton except Hypocrisy and why would I vote for that??

The problem is, Bob Barr and Mike Gravel (think socialist healthcare!) (and Wayne Root for that matter) are not libertarians at all. They are opportunist carpetbaggers. The LP is going to end up nominating either a Democrat or a Republican for their nomination. How sad.

It would be an impossible task to list the extensive crimes against liberty committed by both Republicans and Democrats — and then try to weigh them in hopes of determining which was the lesser of evils. The fact is that both parties desire to control the lives of Americans and others not even from this country.

McCain is no less a statist than Obama and Hillary. He would just advocate different crimes — so it doesn’t matter which of them wins.

I’ll be voting for the Libertarian candidate, whomever it is.

I doubt that these regulations serve any purpose other than to inconvenience the honest, McCain himself is currently experiencing difficulty in opting out of the political financing system.

The article you linked to is good, but essentially the system can be bypassed. Soros and other wealthy liberals are currently putting together a $40 million slush fund to smear McCain “regardless of who the democrat nominee is.”

Hi Jim, yeah that earmarking system sounds pretty stupid to me and seems like a predictably negative by-product of political finance regulation.
I am in favour of abolishing political campign finance and donation laws, but should admit that I don’t know a huge amount on the subject.
I can’t remember if the LDP has a policy on this.

Hope you might like to read a good article I recently read calling for the abolishion of political financing regulations: http://www.forbes.com/opinions/2008/03/19/yaron-campaign-finance-oped-cx_ybr_0321yaron.html
