Marge,

  What would you consider pandering? Or perhaps a better question would be, what has made you tend to vote Republican and occasionally Libertarian while registered as a Democrat? If you don't mind me asking...

Yours in liberty,

From my point of view (a conservative registered Democrat who often votes Republican and did vote for Libertarian candidate Rice) you loose my vote if you pander to the parties on the left.

Michael:

You're an empiricist; the one conclusion that can be drawn from our record is that nothing we do will allow us to get elected. Getting the nomination of three parties--particularly parties on the left--is one thing that hasn't been tried.

Mike,

I agree with you here with one caveat: no compromises in our positions will ever allow us to get elected. Over the years our candidates have proven this.

Compromises are the Sirens' song of LP candidates.

Best, Michael

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.

Mike, I also passed by
the idea to Steve D. on
the phone, well actually
Skipe, and his response
was "Phil, what ever
happened to the pure
message??."

Got it.
Thanks guys.

Same thing goes for
Social Security. Pure
message. No
complicated schemes.
Jitneys anyone?.
