WE SURRENDER!!!

We give up! Oprah has finally convinced us that she is not only not going to run, but is going to instead squander her reputation backing Barack Obama. He, of course, despite his slick rhetoric, is just another hack Democrat politician, thoroughly sold out to all the special interests that donate gobs of money to that unworthy institution. The only good news about this is she is about to discover just how nasty Big League politics can get. She should have taken the plunge on her own behalf, but we guess that she isn't the person we thought she was. Beloved and trusted...yes. Thoughtful and courageous...not a chance.

So, we are returning to our libertarian roots. Our eldest son, John, reminded us that there is a libertarian in the race already. He is running as a Republican, but then nobody is perfect. His name is Ron Paul, he is a congressman from Texas and although he won that office as a libertarian, he caucuses and registers as a Republican. In 1988, he actually ran for President on the Libertarian Party ticket, garnering almost a half million votes. This year, there is already a lot of excitement among members of the LP over his candidacy and he is the odds on favorite to get the nomination of that party as well. Several previous presidential candidates for the LP have endorsed that possibility.

We will leave this site online for historical reasons, since we have wasted over seven years of our lives on this quixotic quest and feel that soemthing should come of it. However, we will no longer solicit volunteers for a movement that simply is not going to materialize. It's a real shame. She could have been a very good president and made history. Some of the best leaders have been those who initially did not want to lead. But, we guess she just doesn't have the "right stuff" for the job. So it goes...
