eddie Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 If these two candidates represent the extremes of conservatives and liberals, it is interesting to see that Nader KILLED Barr in most every state (where both were on the ballot) except Arizona. What does that mean? I was kind of hoping that the Libertarian Party would really take off this election cycle since conservatives really didn't have a republican conservative to vote for.

Ditch Jigger Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 What it means is that the Libertarian Party is as much out of touch with libertarians as a party can possibly be. They nominated a hard-line social conservative for President, and a guy who runs a sports betting tout service for VP. At least the VP choice embodies true libertarianism. They went for star power over principles. Barr is closer to Heinrich Himmler, politically, than Harry Browne.
