Bob Barr blows

So i was watching the libertarian convention today on c-span and was apalled. There were a number of things that really pissed me off. The esteemed delegates vote in rounds and pick off those under 5% each round. When it got down to ruwert, root, gravel, and barr something startling happened. Wayne root walks up to mike gravel and whispers something, a third guy walks over and tells the cameraman that this is a private conversation. Now right away i'm already pissed because of this bs monopoly-esque brokered convention, but i get to see it first hand. About 10 minutes later gravel is suddenly a root suporter. Bob barr is a republican opprotunist and should've never been considered by anybody in the party but the republican leaners apparently don't understand the full concept of freedom beyond their own wallets.

Bob Barr sucks i'm going to vote green or stay home.

Am I the only one who's confused here?

The libertarians are a minor us political party. They believe in freedom and small government. They held their convention today in denver mainly to pick their presidential nominee. They picked an ex-republican who voted for the patriot act and various anti-drug laws. Mike gravel was an ex-democrat mostly known for filibustering the reinstation of the draft on the senate armed services committee. Wayne ****head root is mostly known for being a gambler and is so obviously courting the a-hole vote.

I originally was a supporter of Mike Gravel(despite his chances), but after he left the Democratic party just because he didn't get the nomination, I lost a bit of respect for him, now I'm afraid I've lost all respect for him. What the heck was whispered into his ear I wonder? It doesn't really matter, whoever ran for that party wasn't going to win anyway.

Yes.... it's a travesty when even the fringe of political thinkers can still be just as corrupt and warped.
