There is absolutely NO connection between Blackwell and Libertarians. The left is simply desperate to confuse voters into thinking that libertarians are extreme nut case right wingers. It has happened before. And to a certain extent, it has worked.
And Blackwell has been notorious in attempting to paint his democrat opponent, Ted Strickland as an anti-family, pro-gay rights homosexual (really), even though Strickland is a married Methodist minister! Every independent group, from the ACLU to the John Birch Society, gives Strickland a much higher "freedom" rating than it gives Blackwell. There MAY be a libertarian group or two that has rented the Blackwell campaign a mailing list (Reason, CATO, etc.). This would be the ONLY libertarian-Blackwell connection. But with the exception of his stance on guns, he is clearly statist on every issue. EVERY issue. From gay rights to the right to vote to ballot access to higher taxes (he even wants to ban hotels from providing a pay-for-porn channels), he is clearly just a Taliban-republican-statist. But I repeat myself. PEACE Steven R.

Kennedy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Dondero Rittberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sure, but what does that have to do with Ken Blackwell and his ties to libertarians? I have no doubt that Koch & Co. is behind Blackwell's campaign, and that he has close ties to Cato, probably Club for Growth, and other libertarian groups. The Leftists are right in their assertions about the "Kochtupus" and its influence on right-wing Republican politics. The point is, how is it that some Libertarians view people like Blackwell as a "statis" or worse, when he has such close ties to libertarians? --- In [email protected], "steven linnabary" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The term "libertarian" is a term that is used in a derogatory way by some > leftist groups much the same way that "socialist" is used by right- wingers > to disparage anybody they dislike. > > Saying it doesn't necessarily make it so. > > PEACE > Steven R.
