What's the Point of Libertarians and the Libertarian Initiated Tea Party Campaign When Republicans are Claming Credit

Republicans Marginalizing Libertarians


Libertarian Party Website
A republican does not equal a Libertarian and a Libertarian does not equal a republican.  Yet, we have republicans taking over every Libertarian initiative.  And, the Libertarians are just laying down and taking it.  You have complete con artists like Wayn Allyn Root, weaseling into the Libertarian party and dictating policy.  The man should be in jail.  He is a black eye on the most constitutional party, since John Hancock signed his name.  You have Dick Army taking over the Tea Party, which was originated and conceived of by the Libertarian Party.

The Republican party is the most disorganized mess since fall of the Roman Empire, and yet somehow the Libertarian party is worse.  What party, in the history of the country, fields absolutely no candidates for any local and state offices at a time when the country is reeling from both main parties giving the country the ole 'what for' without so much as a reach around?  I mean the country is ripe for a 3rd party that espouses complete economic healing for the masses, and yet the Libertarian party is nearly silent and stymied.  They let Fox friggin News take over the Tea Party for God's sakes.

California is trying to pass a decriminalizing marijuana law, a victimless crime, and yet the Libertarian Party is completely silent.  The Libertarian Party should be all over this, taken credit for getting this started, and galvanizing the country on this very issue.  That is, if what's on their website is actually true of what they believe:

1.5    Crime and Justice

Government exists to protect the rights of every individual including life, liberty and property. Criminal laws should be limited to violation of the rights of others through force or fraud, or deliberate actions that place others involuntarily at significant risk of harm. Individuals retain the right to voluntarily assume risk of harm to themselves. We support restitution of the victim to the fullest degree possible at the expense of the criminal or the negligent wrongdoer. We oppose reduction of constitutional safeguards of the rights of the criminally accused. The rights of due process, a speedy trial, legal counsel, trial by jury, and the legal presumption of innocence until proven guilty, must not be denied. We assert the common-law right of juries to judge not only the facts but also the justice of the law.

If an obscure hedge fund manager can go from zero name recognition to being the number 3 republican candidate for senate, by himself, - yes I'm talking about Peter Schiff - then how come an entire battalion of so called libertarians can't field a Libertarian candidate?



Why is it no news organization ever ran a story on Libertarian candidates during this very heated campaign season.  This was the most active off year campaign in the history of modern campaigns.  Obama's approval rating is dropping faster than a fat man's weight on high intensity interval training, yet the Libertarian party is silent.  Everyone hates Obamacare, and where are the Libertarians to put the Democrats nose to the grind?

Ron Paul and Rand Paul are great and all, but they are NOT running as Libertarian candidates.  Stop putting your token into their slot.  Get your own candidate and stand behind him.

It's like this: A friend of mine works as a doorman to a fairly popular night club here in town.  One night people kept coming to the door and looking in and leaving.  Finally he turns to me, counter in hand, and says "had any of them stayed for more than 5 minutes we would have had 1,000 patrons in the club, more people than any of the big named clubs in town put together."

This is exactly what the Libertarian party is doing.  They are putting their tokens into the hats of Republicans, thinking they are the same as Libertarians, when if they just fielded their own candidates and stuck by them, they'd have a firm grasp on the political arena.  There are so many people that are awakened to the shenanigans and the complete illegality of the house and senate, yet the Libertarians are silent.

Libertarians Don't Know Jack About Politics




Harry Reid beat out Repulican candidate Sharon Angle for the U.S. Senate seat for Nevada.  He was down by 4 points in every poll across the board.  He called in favors and got nearly every casino to bus their non-english speaking employees to go vote for him.  He called in favors to get the teachers union to have a 5 day furlow for "teacher's conferences" lasting up till Wednesday, so they could vote for him.  He called in favors to give teachers raises, when the local and state budgets are empty, so they could vote for him.

This is politics.  Not completely legal, but you don't go to jail unless you get caught.

Libertarians have zero inclination about what politics are.  They are not connected to the global elite.  They are not connected to big business.  In fact all of those groups run counter to anything remotely smacking of constitutionality.  The entire point of a Libertarian party is to get the government out of bed with business and big business in particular, and yet they have no clue how to go about it.  You can't say you want to be a fox while wearing a rabbit suit, heck, they don't even come to the fox games toting a fox hunting gun, either / or would be fine.

I just don't get it.

Letter to Senator Reid

Written Letter to Senator Harry Reid, My State Senator



Senator Reid,

I was shocked that the entire debate over the unemployment bill, recently passed, was not in fact an extension of unemployment compensation, but simply an extension of the filing date.

I don't think you are aware of the real u-3 unemployment data. We are not at 16% nationwide with Nevada having an extra 3% lead over the nation, putting us at nearly 20% unemployment.

I have not been able to gain employment since the end of 2008 when my company laid off 2% of the work force nationwide and have not hired anyone back. I don't understand how you and the rest of congress can be so out of touch with the employment situation out here.

I don't understand how you all can approve tens of billions of dollars in relief to Haiti, on top of the regular billions you send them, yet not help to feed your own citizens.

It is a slap in our face.

Follow Kevin_Cardinale on Twitter

I don't understand how you can require taxes on unemployment compensation, which amounts to 2 whole months worth of unemployment, when it is a paycheck to paycheck situation to begin with. Unemployment is a much lowered percentage of your regular pay rate. People have to feed families, pay rents, put gas in cars with that unemployment check.

How can you make speeches you are for Nevadans when you and your colleagues are making people homeless. I have read countless accounts of people who, after reading that the recent unemployment legislation did not extend the benefits themselves, say they are now "desperate". I can just imagine the suicide rate will skyrocket after the benefits run out.

The unemployment rate increased. Companies are not hiring. Businesses are not hiring. We are getting nothing from congress but rhetoric and political plays. And, I'm not falling for the scapegoat of Senator Bunning, it was an obvious ploy to use him.

We are dying out here while you and your colleagues refuse to take action. You refuse to force the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. Our savings is in the negative because of it. Who is going to put money into savings that generates less than 7 tenths of a percentage point? Citizens won't save and businesses won't borrow with artificially low interest rates, especially now that it is obvious the interest rates are not indicative of consumer savings.

Yet, you bailout Fannie and Freddie and AIG, while letters and phone calls pour in opposed to it. Yet, millions of Americans will starve due to no extension of the unemployment benefits. We all still vote. I don't understand how the congress can have such hubris. I don't understand how you can say you are for Nevadans, 3rd in the nation in unemployment.

Senator Harry Reid Could Lose His Senate Seat

Senator Harry Reid Running Scared



Normally the senate majority leader position is something that someone would have to die for you to get it. Not so for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. In a state that is 2nd in the nation in foreclosures, 2nd in the nation in unemployment, first in the nation in Black male unemployment and a 33% uninsured health care population, Senator Reid's lofty time ignoring his constituency is up for grabs.

Senator Reid like most congressional leadership, has all but ignored his constituency. With the dramatic win of republican senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts, the writing is on the wall for Democrats. The democrats road in on the upsurge of hate towards Bush, but now that the dust has settled, everyone realizes how much the democrats do not listen to the public.



During both administrations, Bush and Obama, the public overwhelming has been against the bail outs. Calls, emails and letters flooded the offices of congress, to tune of historic proportions asking, threatening and begging them NOT to vote for the bailouts. Both times our congress, and both presidents, voted the bailouts into law. Senator Reid voted for the bailouts as well. And, the bailouts went straight to wall street. So bad and corrupt were the bailouts that it came to light that language was taken out of the legislation to protect taxpayers by limiting company bonuses if they received bailout money. Chris Dodd was key in taking that language out of the legislation. When the company bonuses came to light, congress' hand was revealed. They were all firmly in the back pocket of Wall Street.

I myself received many emails urging me to support my congressmen and senators of Nevada, with an hidden message of "don't protest just go along with the flow." Reid and all of the rest capital hill did not understand the demonstrations and protests at the town hall meetings. Their spin doctors kept trying to say it was a radical republican thing. However, they had no answer when republican senators and representatives received the same protests. Their own spin doctors did not prepare them for what was coming.

With the win of Senator Scott Brown, the democrats have tried to spin it. But, in a state that has been democrat for... all of my life, to go republican is a slap. Not only is that state strongly democrat, but is the most literate, the most intellectual, has one of the highest employment rates. There is no way to put this in a good light for democrats. And, the Scott Brown campaign was easy and straight forward: he ran on old fashioned republican platforms - small government, lower taxes etc.. Obviously the whole Chris Dodd, more government, more taxes is not what the middle class wants. The corruption of the Hill is obvious to everyone with eyes.

With Senator Reid's defeat, the democrats will be reeling and be unable to recover.
