Thread: Motion to remove Barr written

Motion to remove Barr as LP nominee has been written

Despite the blackout by third-party media outlets sympathetic to and/or controlled by the Barr campaign, there is a serious effort under way to remove Bob Barr as the Libertarian Party’s presidential nominee. In order for the issue to be taken to a vote among LNC members, only one rep need make the motion and another second it. The motion has been written, and at least one LNC rep has expressed a willingness to make it. Below is the text of the motion.

REMOVAL MOTION

WHEREAS, Article 12, Section 5 of the Libertarian Party’s bylaws provide for the suspension of the party’s presidential candidate by the Libertarian National Committee; and

WHEREAS, said bylaws provision requires a 3/4 vote of this body;
BE IT KNOWN that Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party’s 2008 presidential nominee, is hereby suspended on the basis of the following causes:

- Failure to appear, with little or no notice, at a major media event to which he had been invited and to which he had committed to appear;

- Vicious public attacks by his campaign staff on the character and reputation of the event’s host (1988 Libertarian Party presidential nominee Ron Paul) and sponsor (Campaign For Liberty);

- The disrepute and discredit which the aforementioned misbehaviors have brought upon the Libertarian Party.

The committee advises Barr that he has seven (7) days to appeal this action to the party’s Judicial Committee. Absent a successful appeal, his nomination will be deemed null and void and he will be replaced as the party’s presidential nominee.

Excellent news. Time to kick that lying sack of shit to the curb.

I see you afraid because a real libertarian candidate would be far less beneficial to the neocon Barack Obongo campaign than neocon Republican Bob Barr is.

Don't tell me you're calling that liberal socialist a Neo Con!

Why, before long, the word neocon will mean anything you people want it to.

Oh. Wait, neocon has always been that way.

It's root meaning is "socialist that I don't want to like", right?

Nader ain't a libertarian.

Period.

And how is that relevant? If the LP ditches Bob FuBarr, then I might actually have a libertarian to vote for.

Dr. Paul and Pastor Baldwin are both upstanding individuals firmly committed to principle.

Bob Barr was an impostor from the beginning who was never one of us.

I called him that because virtually everybody is a neocon to him. I don't know what the hell they are and try not to use it. I assume it's a rightwinger that pedals fear in attempt to convince people of their warped positions.

Think long and hard about this D. Are you saying Nader is a libertarian?
