Why I grind my teeth when ever I hear 'bout "The Libertarian Party" ...
In case you haven't heard, Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss now faces a run-off battle (due to Georgia's quirky election laws) against Democrat/first-class turd Jim Martin.
Senator Chambliss got 49.8 percent of the vote on November 4. Martin, a former state lawmaker from Atlanta, got 46.8 percent. Libertarian Allen Buckley got 3.4 percent. Georgia voters will go to the polls on December 2nd to choose between Chambliss and Martin.
But for Allen Buckley, Sen. Chambliss would've been re-elected last week and a GOP filibuster-firewall would be a given. I can only hope that the misguided liberty-loving souls who voted for Buckley will throw-in for Chambliss in three weeks.
America's captitalist ecomonic system is now hanging by a precarious thread. Obama's forces want us to embrace the smiley-faced socialism that now grips France and Germany (countries in which 10 percent annual unemployment is a rule rather than an an exception); but some folks, like Saxby Chambliss are of the opinion that Adam Smith, Alexander Hamilton, and Ronald Reagan are rolling in their graves.
Libertarians who voted for Buckley on November -- especially those who're either going to stay home on Dec. 2 or who're considering casting a run-off vote for Jim Martin -- need to think about this:
Incompetent, ineffectual Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) was first elected 'cause a Libertarian candidate on the ballot in his initial campaign drained enough votes from his Republican opponent. Imagine what our political "climate" would be like now if the limp-wristed Harry Reid wasn't in the U.S. Senate.
I hope and pray that the folks who voted for Buckley will do the "right" thing and vote for Saxby in three weeks. I'm not only hoping and praying -- indeed, I sent a $500 check to Saxby's re-re-election campaign yesterday -- I'm imploring them to get behind the guy who knows that Mr. Adam Smith ain't just a crank at the end of the street who don't rake his front yard.
So there.
