If this doesn't get this goddamn carpetbagging Republican kicked out of the LP nothing will
Thanks, I heard this recently, but couldn't find a source. I guess this explains why he wanted a poll tax that could get the Libertarian Party kicked off of some states ballot.
Beat me by seconds; I was just coming to post the same thing!
Wayne Allyn Root is currently an at-large member of the Libertarian National Committee. He needs to be kicked off, NOW!
I suspect I can guess who is going to be biggest Bogon Emitter or Idiot Extraordinaire this week.

No, those slots are already taken. Although I hereby nominate him for John Edward's successor as Biggest Douche in the Universe!

This is an email WAR sent as to why the LNCC did not support Alex Snitker, the LPF's senate candidate in 2010
Quote
Wes,
You are comparing apples to oranges with Alex Snitker. Alex was a very
good speaker and candidate. But he was running against a Tea Party hero in
Marco Rubio. This is a textbook example of poor decisions made by LP
candidates and the LP. We need to look at the candidates the GOP is running and rate
them on Libertarian scale....like the one we all saw out of Texas last
month.
There is good reason for a David Nolan to run against John McCain. That
might make sense. There is ZERO reason for the LP to run a candidate against
Marco Rubio.
That could be why there were no LP candidates running against Rand Paul,
or Ron Paul, or Sharon Angle. Why would the LP waste money on a candidate
running against someone that is defined by the press as "Libertarian" in
every single article? Why waste effort or money running against a
candidate who believes in ending the IRS, ending or dramatically reforming
Social Security, and ending the Departments of Education and Energy. Those
are elections where the LP needs to stand down.
Marco rubio...whether you like him or not...whether you agree he should be
described as Libertarian...is THE symbol of Tea Party nationwide. There
was zero "hay to be made" trying to be more libertarian...more free
market...or more fiscally conservative than him.
Our party needs to concentrate on running against the worst of our
opposition...not the best.
And more importantly, as you can see from Snitker, it is not going to get
you anywhere.
Why vote alternate third party if there is already a Tea Party
independent-thinker on the GOP line like Marco Rubio? The answer from the electorate
is clear- there is no reason.
While David Nolan got almost 5% against McCain - who isn't a libertarian
or a conservative or a Tea Party kind of guy...while spending less than
$10,000...
Alex Snitker gave an INCREDIBLE effort...ran one heck of a
campaign...appeared in a huge number of media...and got nothing for his efforts.
It has nothing to do with the amount of money he raised.
He was a fantastic candidate...at the wrong time and place.
I'm betting that against Charlie Christ...Alex would have set records for
a LP Senate candidate.
But why run for office calling for smaller gov't, dramatic reform of
income taxes, Soc Sec, Dept of Education...when your opponent is calling for all
the same things?
The answer is clear- it is a waste of time, effort and money.
We need to put our money in other races that make more strategic sense.
Wayne,
Wayne Allyn Root
2008 Libertarian Vice Presidential Nominee
Yeah it was a great thing when the Tea Party candidates cut all of that spending last year. Also how they didn't bring up Social Issues at all.
