"I watched the LP convention with real interest. As a Ron Paul Republican I am searching for a candidate that agrees with me on many of todays pressing issues (the Wars (Terrorism & Drugs), Interventionism, Immigration, Trade, Taxes, Monitary Policy, the Constitution, etc...). So naturally I was interested in the results of the LP convention. After the intial debate I was fairly convinced that the right candidate to lead the party was Kubby. He would have pulled many of the RPRs like myself to the party. Here was an opportunity for the LP to take a large chunk of voters from the GOP. Not only did they not take that opportunity but they slammed the door in our faces by selecting a NEO-CON as their Presidential Candidate and then another NEO-CON as his running mate. This ticket will get less than .5% when it's all over, the NEO-CON voters already have their Pro-War, Pro-Interventionism, Anti-Constitution candidate. So it's off the So-Called-Libertarian Party diet I've been on for over a year now, and on to the Constitution Party and Chuck Baldwin for me (my state doesn't allow Write-Ins so I can't Vote for Dr. Paul like I want to). After this how does the Libertarian Party now square the defininition of the word 'Liberty' with its ticket. It was sad for me to watch as the Libertarian Party removed 'Liberty' from its platform."
