Kevin Barrett could break Libertarian records

October 10th, 2008

Kevin Barrett, the controversial Libertarian for Congress in Wisconsin, is doing very well in the polls, as are the issues he is basing his campaign around. In a new poll conducted by Voice Broadcasting, Barrett is at 13.1%. That is higher than any other Libertarian candidate for Congress in the entire nation and higher than any other Libertarian in Wisconsin, according to the Barrett campaign. Also, 70% of registered voters in Barrett’s district oppose the bailout, which the incumbent supports.

His status as a "libertarian" is under dispute, as the national LP does not support him.

ANd that whole website seems to be on the crackpot side.

And getting more votes than any other Libertarian in history is rather like running the 100 yard dash faster than any otehr active member of Weight Watchers.

No thanks.

And this one!

Candidate for Congress arrested

BARABOO, Wis. -- A Libertarian Party candidate for Congress was arrested in Madison on Tuesday after police said he violated a court order forbidding contact with his family.

Kevin Barrett was charged with disorderly conduct in Sauk County Circuit Court on Friday after being accused of hitting his 13-year-old son.

Barrett's wife received a temporary restraining order to prevent Barrett from having contact with her, the 13-year-old and an 11-year-old son.

Barrett was released from the Dane County Jail after posting $500 bail.

Barrett won the Libertarian primary and will challenge incumbent Ron Kind in the 3rd Congressional District.

Oops, Galileo, looks like they're on to your boy over there. You'd better head over there and explain how Barrett's not a psychotic, anti-Semitic, Holocaust-denying, 9/11-denying, Muslim terrorist-denying loon who's consumed with violent fantasies about his perceived enemies.

It's not in dispute anymore. Barrett won the primary with 60% of the vote. That's a big slap in the face to the 9/11 conspiracy theorists.

 

[Galileo]

And this one!

Ever heard of a principle called innocent until proven guilty? Apparently not.

And do you really think that people who want to punish the mass murderers of 9/11 would give a hoot about some petty domestic dispute?

These ideas were debated during the primary and rejected by the voters. Barrett won easily with 60% of the vote. He won 17 counties, lost one, and tied one.

Ever heard of Libertarians like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison? They would beg to differ.

UPDATE!

No, they wouldn't, for two reasons:

1) Neither of them were libertarians, in fact, the libertarian movement didn't begin until the 70's. Before appealing to the founders, at least read up on their political views.

2) They've both been dead for some 180 years.

you're just upset that Barrett won the primary. I understand your feelings.

Must've been a downright bitch for them to register as members of the Libertarian party what with it not forming until a century and a half after their deaths and all.

Since, given the worship directed at them from some quarters, they could probably walk on water, turn lead into gold and raise the dead, I wouldn´t put this beyond them either.

Nope - any links to them and did they change their names to those of famous liberal USA politicians?

Yeah, I know but after the infamous Zombie Patrick Henry incident ("Give me Liberty or give me....Braaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiinnnnnnns") in 1968, most county courthouses enacted strict and effective anti-undead founding father measures.

So, seeing this is a LP party primary, this adds up to what? 100 total votes?
