Candidate Endorsement: Chris Bennett for Vice President

[NOTE: Originally posted on Last Free Voice]
As you are hopefully all by now aware, longtime LFV contributor Chris Bennett is seeking the LP’s Vice Presidential nomination. While he would have my support simply for being an LFV contributor and a great guy, there is so much more to his candidacy that I have decided [...]

We’re all familiar with John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama. However, have you ever wondered what other presidential candidates are out there? Are you longing for a presidential candidate who is really and truly different? If so, one of these guys just might be your man.
Unlike most mainstream presidential candidates, God The Great Holy [...]

MSNBC is reporting that New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, the former Attorney General of that state, has admitted to being involved in a prostitution ring.
I guess he can’t claim he didn’t know it was a crime, LOL.
While I’ll admit that the news is giggle-worthy, and will probably produce a lot of good jokes for The [...]

I found this entry on Thomas Knapp’s blog, Kn@ppster, and found it quite interesting. Here is an excerpt; you can read it in its entry in its entirety at the link:
I’m not one for silver bullets—no one thing will put third party candidates into contention for the presidency—but some changes just make sense. One [...]

Voters in Arlington, Oregon, are very, very angry. That’s not unusual, since there are very angry voters everywhere these days.
What is unusual is the reason why they are angry.
Apparently their Mayor, Carmen Kontur-Gronquist, had some photos taken to send in for a fitness magazine, and in them she was dressed in her bra and [...]

I thought I’d take a few minutes here and there to fill people in on the subjects of humanism and liberatarianism (since I am a humanist libertarian). Don’t worry, I’ll try not to bore you too much.
Let’s start with libertarianism. First, you can probably forget whatever you’ve been told.
I bet when you think [...]

According to The Smoking Gun, Jose Antonio Ortiz stabbed his brother-in-law, Sean Shurelds (who was flown to a hospital, where he was admitted in critical condition) due to a disagreement about Hillary Clinton vs Barack Obama.
Yes, you read that right.
Apparently Shurelds supports Obama, and Ortiz supports Clinton. While the two were in the [...]

I just ran across a website called “Project Vote Smart“. This site gathers information from various candidates for office, so you can view it all in one place, and even very easily compare the candidates if you open them up in side-by-side tabs on your browser.
It is very interesting to see the “political courage [...]

I find it impossible to believe that anyone would simply accept this explanation. Yet apparently, many did. I also find it difficult to believe that this was not an intentional shenanigan intended to influence the outcome of an election, especially given Chicago’s long reputation for corruption.
My question is, why didn’t these people just [...]

Hillary Clinton may refuse to participate in any further debates on MSNBC, following a comment about her daughter Chelsea by MSNBC anchor David Shuster.
Here is what was said, when Shuster was guest-hosting the Tucker show:
DAVID SHUSTER: Bill, there’s just something a little bit unseemly to me that Chelsea’s out there calling up celebrities, saying support [...]

On Fox News Sunday this week, the panel discussed the possibility of Hillary Clinton being chosen as a vice-presidential candidate. Bill Kristol picked that apart, saying:
Kristol: Look, the only people for Hillary Clinton are the Democratic establishment and white women. The Democratic establishment, it’d be crazy for the Democratic party to follow an establishment that’s [...]

Hat tip Ideas From Free Minds

Honestly, I don’t know what to think of this video. On the one hand, this guy could be a crackhead attention whore just making things up to smear a presidential candidate. On the other hand, if it’s true, it poses some very serious potential problems.
If Obama has lied about [...]

Meet Jeffrey Brian Bouffard. He says most folks just call him “Bouf”, though.Bouf is quite the stoner, it would appear. He is also running as a Libertarian for the 15th District seat in the US House of Representatives.
Here’s his autobiography, taken from his website:
Born Poughkeepsie, NY, 24 January 1973.
Grew up in Newington, CT, a [...]

After reading this statement from Dr. George Phillies, an MIT-educated physicist who has declared his Libertarian candidacy for president, I have to say he makes a very convincing argument for the resignation of Libertarian National Committee members.
Without further ado, here is Dr. Phillies’ statement:
Some fellow Libertarians say I am too soft-spoken and gentle in my [...]

The Libertarian Party and Its Candidates
I can’t help feeling that I am still the best Libertarian candidate out there. I still intend to write in my own name unless Ron Paul somehow gets the Republican nomination. Then I may have a crisis. In a good way. I am sure [...]

From Jason Gatties blog:
This website was being developed for my 2008 plans, but sometimes plans change quickly. I had flirted with the idea of running for St.Joseph City Council earlier this year, but I decided to make a bid for Pokagon Tribal Council instead. I failed to win that election, but I did better than [...]

Less than six months before its 2008 presidential primary, election officials in one of the country’s most important swing states admit electronic voting machines are seriously flawed and can be easily tampered with.A 35-page report released by Florida’s Secretary of State says that hackers can easily change votes without a trace in Diebold optical-scan machines [...]

The following links are permanent, because they are based on the candidate’s FEC registration number, so those interested in such things may want to bookmark them (or bookmark this page, whichever is easier). Each candidate page lists links to contributions, reports, and all kinds of interesting things.
What I found most interesting of all, though, [...]
