Who here is watching the Libertarian Party Convention?

[YoungDemCA]

Didn't think so.

[Renew Deal]

1. I'm not but did Gary Johnson get the nomination?

With Weld?

[janx]

15. Johnson got the nomination.

Vice president hasn't been voted on yet.

[janx]

17. Weld was just nominated for VP candidate.

If they get into the debates, things will get interesting.

[Renew Deal]

24. Agree

Two governors vs a SoS/Senator and a business person.

[LiberalArkie]

2. That is the party who doesn't believe in government services, so I figured it would not be on

internet or free tv. So I thought it would be a 1-900 phone call to listen in and I did not have the money to spend to listen in on it.

[Brother Buzz]

3. Listening to the SF Giants play on the radio is much better

Buster Posey punched a three-run homer in the top of the first. Woohoo!

[rug]

4. I'm not and you can't make me.

[trumad]

5. Ha!

[sharp_stick]

7. I'm on my way

Dammit you'll listen to it!

Don't make me get Skittles.

[rug]

8. Give me liberty or give me an ass-kickin'!

[EX500rider]

10. Well we could make you but you wouldn't like it... lol

[onehandle]

6. 'Independents' who voted for Bernie are. nt

[Orrex]

12. .

[YoungDemCA]

9. So this is the most hilarious convention I've ever seen

Lotta emotional investment in choosing a candidate who will get 0.4% of the vote, at best.

[janx]

16. This time might be different.

If it winds up being Johnson/Weld, that could make a dent.

[YvonneCa]

20. Especially this part...

Poor CSpan!!!😁

[dembotoz]

that should go viral

[Oneironaut]

13. The what-a-what?

Just pretend they don't exist and they'll go away. They're like the monsters under your bed when you were 5.

[arely staircase]

14. Where married gay couples can protect their cannabis plants with machine guns!

Not that there is anything wrong with gay married couples growing weed. But I don't want them or anyone else to have a machine gun.

[JHB]

18. That reminds me: It's Indy 500 Day...

Crap! It's already over.

[Hortensis]

19. “I have always found it quaint and rather touching that

there is a movement [Libertarians] in the US that thinks Americans are not yet selfish enough.”
― Christopher Hitchens

Hitchens in a rare moment of humor. I think. Makes me chuckle anyway.

So, big development: ex-Republican (as in Libertarian just in time to run) MA Governor Bill Weld is the VP candidate. The Libertarian Party is now officially in trouble--corrupted by the seductive lure of possible brief relevance. They elected two conservatives to lead their party in hope of drawing conservatives away from Drumpf and Sanders. Sober members must be wondering with dread--what happens to US if it works?

No big fan of libertarians here (it is another, quite unadmirable, basic personality type before it is a political orientation), so...bad choice, fellas!

[struggle4progress]

21. Open up! It's me, Gary!

Who?
Gary!
Gary's not here

[CobaltBlue]

22. I didn't even know about it.

Which is fine.

[oberliner]

25. Interesting battle going on within the Libertarian party

Darryl Perry was viewed as the true Libertarian purist and Gary Johnson was seen as the more pragmatic choice. Johnson was booed repeatedly and is seen by diehards as more of a Republican than a Libertarian.

[bravenak]

26. Had no idea it existed as a thing

[Takket]

27. Do they let cameras inside McDonalds now?

I guess I shouldn't laugh. This gut might get done serious attention.

[Squinch]

28. He's a name for all the Republicans who can't bring themselves to vote for Drumpf.

I like that about him!

Other than that, I know nothing about him except that Libertarians are dumb.

[GaYellowDawg]

29. You gotta be a complete moron to buy into libertarianism.

I call it the Libertardian Party.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

30. Oh, I'm sure a few "contributors" to this site were watching

Probably praying for a Rand Paul run-in!!!
