I thought my reputation was pretty secure as a pure-message kind of guy
myself. And there's no question Zeese in wrong on medical care, which
is not a small issue. But I'm still excited by the idea of winning the
nomination of two leftist parties along with the LP's--particularly at a
time when the major issues of the day are leftist issues: war and
immigration. The LP has been out to lunch on these issues; Ron Paul
made an appallingly xenophobic statement; and Badnarik's campaign is
weak enough on that issue to make me consider withdrawing my support.
(And both of these guys are in Texas!) Zeese's outreach to the left (or
inreach from the left) is what we badly need. I don't think there's any
finer strategy than running on a pure libertarian platform. But if some
compromises will allow us to get elected, let them, at this point in
history, be compromises on the money issues in favor of liberty.

Dear Mike,

Oh migosh!!!! I believe there are other ways of reaching to the left
without supporting candidates who stand for issues we do not agree
with. But, I concur that the LP needs to do *something*!!
