Good evening again, Barry and Robbi, and everyone for that matter! Barry and Robbi just reported...
> It's a great day to be libertarian! REALLY??? Why? > Election Night 2006 > Doubletree Riverside > 7:30 PM till we're done... The LP of Idaho has been "done" since around election Year 2000, since Ted Dunlap managed to wrest control from a tremendously energized Party that fielded over 50 candidates for public office in Idaho! All of which are now gone, have left, and probably may never consider evening coming back... In short, there is no LP of Idaho in existence and hasn't been since that time. I know, I was here running for public office in 2004 under the LP banner. So... now you're sitting around 'Doubletree Riverside' ruminating over how this is somehow a victory for liberty on election night 2006! > We will once again be gathering to watch the returns, root for our > candidates, celebrate our successes and enjoy spending some time with other > libertarians. Yes... sit around and watch the returns. Watch Ted Dunlaps miserable and dispicable attempt to run for governor. I watched the same debate several nights ago as it was broadcast by PBS and I still voted for Butch Otter since Dunlap has destroyed the Libertarian Party of Idaho, and would probably likely destroy Idaho itself if such a creature ever captured the Governor's mansion! You have to ask why any sensible Libertarian could even support the maniac that was in charge of the Party that managed to destroy it in Idaho only a few short years ago. The LP of Idaho is presently non existent, except perhaps sitting around "Doubletree Riverside" in Boise and no where else in Idaho at this moment. You probably might want to think about the huge disaster Mr. Dunlap and his friends inflicted upon the entire State Party just a few 4 years ago, with his shenanigans from a Party that fielded 50 plus candidates before, to where we are just now. I won't and haven't joined the bandwagon to failure under Ted's leadership. He was a charlaton to begin with, and some of us never expected or suspected that to even be the case way back when... it is entirely evident now... that's what this has now become. > We'll be in the same place this year (in the "Quiet Bar" near the > restaurant). If you would like to bring some sort of finger food or treats > to share, please do so... Well, this says it all, now doesn't it? Finger food?! Let me for just a moment ruminate upon some comments Ted Dunlap related to the public media just four short years ago, relating to his expectation that the LP of Idaho would REPLACE the Democrats and become the second largest political Party in Idaho! When exactly is that expectation going to happen or take place, and when exactly will real Libertarians in Idaho finally realise that Libertarians in Idaho have been conned by this charlaton and go back to our original basis that made the success year of 2000 even possible, that is, when we were fielding 50 plus candidates for public office throughout this state, and gaining ballot access! That's now long gone, again thanks to Dunlaps leadership. He was and still is a giant fool, and we are greater fools to allow this charade to continue any longer, finger food aside. Let me just say this: This is the first time in more than a decade that I have NOT supported or voted for a Libertarian candidate in Idaho!!! Resinate upon that as you taste your 'finger food' tonight in Boise! This Party needs leadership... not finger food! The reality is that this Party has been destroyed by largely the leadership, or lack of leadership that is presently in place. And that so-called leadership needs to be replaced, and if this is a garden party affair, I'm sorry. I'm out of here and gone as so many others have already left and gone because mainly of Dunlaps misserable and dispicable Leadership. He would hardly be my choice as Governor of the State of Idaho. He is a rediculous joke. And Libertarians in this State, like myself, won't even vote for this rediculous fool when given the opportunity to do so. > Please share this message with any and all who might be interested in > joining us for the evening. It's a great opportunity for anyone curious > about libertarianism to meet other like minded people in a relaxed setting. I think I just did share a lot. Dunlap is a damn fool, and we are all damn fools for continuing this charade any longer, that we are a State Party that anyone, anyone at all, has any reason to trust that we have a structure, ideals, or anything at all that has a reasonable credence for a political Party in this State. So... enjoy your finger food tonight. I am personally and totally disgusted with all of you right now. Liberty has NOTHING... NOTHING AT ALL... to do with your finger food meeting at a swank or select location in Boise, Idaho. It has everything to do with ordinary people, like me, living in such places as Bonners Ferry, Idaho and watching the election results on live television tonight. That perhaps might be disgusting too... But I am disgusted with such trivia as suggesting that tonight's election results might suggest the LP of Idaho as even relevenat in this mix of things. Just four short years ago we were. What do you suppose that is now gone... Off the table... and lost forever, or so it seems? Dunlap has to go. There will be no Party unity or reformation until the time that Dunlap leaves in any capacity of Party leadership. We still have giant leaders in the LP if they will only take charge and lead, and I will gladly follow, such as Gordon Wilmoth, Chris Struble, and I can name a lot more. In the meantime, I'll just vote for Butch Otter and Sali and maybe I'll have a reason to sit around in a local bar and pound down a few beers and proclain that Liberty is making some progress after all!
