Shall I donate to Bob Barr's campaign? |
|
All the better to make sure the GOP's sufficiently Nadered this November...
What can I say? They were focusing on us, the Limbaughtomized were working on Operation Chaos, they were constantly harping on Obama, they even helped Nader out.
Well, now, it's revenge time. Payback's a bitch!!!

See the new shiny start next to my name?
Obama already has several hundred dollars of my money, and will be getting more next payday.

:hi:
Obama only has $50 of my money so far (and that doesn't include my wife's contributions, and her purchasing of Obama gear).

5. I've thought about throwing him a little cash. |
|
The more he can run commercials, the better the chances of splitting the rightwing vote. Also, he can attack the republicans on their constitutional crimes.

I was going to say it would be better to give to the democratic candidate, but after thinking about it, it's almost certainly more cost effective to peel off a few percent from McCain to Barr than another few % from McCain to the dem candidate. It's kind of like opening another front in the battle!

I'd wait until it is official. ;)

8. Don't donate. Volunteer. |
|
Libertarians are Republicans who want to smoke pot and get laid.
Join his campaign.
You'll have the best sex and drugs of your life.

12. well the some at stormfront see this as a move to undermine ron paul |
|
while others see ron paul is a plant by the republicans. they see john as a traitor to the white race and hillary..well she`s hillary. the strangest thing is the divide on barack....some want him so the final race war will break out and american will be white and other`s see this idea as a betrayal...other`s don`t give a shit and won`t vote for anyone...
you think we have problems..
ron paul is getting on average 5% against john..ron`s going to be a thorn in the side of the republicans this year...

13. No - find some borderline DEM who needs your support |
|
I'd recommend Darcy Burner in Washington for starters. Find someone you can support, where we have a chance of gaining a seat.

20. My thought on Operation Chaos.. |
|
If they thought they had a chance with their candidate, they wouldn't be intent on trying to simply disrupt the process. It says a lot about their faith in McCain.

21. Mike Gravel is running against him |
|
Edited on Mon May-12-08 09:40 PM by Lilith Velkor
Donate to him instead, after DU and your local Dem candidates.
PS - you should be soundly thrashed with a wet noodle for even thinking about donating to Bob Barr. Srsly.

I guess the Libertarian Party is where Republicans who've had sex scandals get sent out to pasture.

|
This is quite the tasty, delicious, mouth-watering development, if you ask me. :-)

27. Wait to see if Barr is serious |
|
If it looks like he could be a potential threat to McGramps in November then it's worth considering. But right now it's too early to tell.
